Hey guys, was involved in an accident last Monday, some tool went into my lane driving in the hills, I swirved and lost control (roads were wet + VERY tight space) and hence just found out today my car is being totalled ;):D We can't find the other driver, either he didn't see me crash (likely due to the amount of trees obsuring his view) or he just plain didn't bother to stop, so the excess is left to be paid by me; how nice!

Anyway, now I'm looking for a new car, definately gonna be a Skyline again, probably a S2 R33 but I gotta find the right one, prefferably with a sun roof. Anyone looking to sell me their baby nice and cheap? :wave:

Yeah I'm fine, save for a little bit of a sore back. Definately thank god for insurance, if I didn't have it... well lets say I wouldn't be too happy! Those Skylines are built like brick shithouses though, coming out of an accident like I did with basically no injuries definately says something for Japanese engineering

Was looking at something like this, I know it's in Sydney but I could always fly down (or up - symantics :)), what you guys think?

Sorry to hear about what had happened to your car.

The white R33 seems very neat to me. The price is also quite reasonable, looking at the amount of mods it comes with the car. The only thing that you would have to consider is that you might have to spend some money to remove all the illegal mods when it gets to SA. Transporting the car down/up from Sydney to Adelaide would probably another additional cost of 500-700 bucks, not unless you want to drive it back.

Have you tried looking around locally? But if a couple of $k's different doesn't trip you off the cliff, I guess the white R33 looks like a fantastic choice.

Bad luck man... don't be too worried about purchasing from interstate... I have done it twice in the last 12 months. Just bought my GTR from brisbane a couple of months ago and provided it is currently registered then it does not have to go thru regency. You just have to go for an identity check which can be done at sturt depot not regency... just to check engine/vin no.s ....its no big hassle.

I bought mine from Melbourne last year. Yes you are right... It's only an identity check thing. But if you are unlucky, they will still ask you to take off all the illegal mods before getting your rego in SA. It happened to me. They asked me to take off my tint because the legal tint in SA is 70% instead of 30%. Asked me to increase the height of my car... this and that..... :thumbsup: Cost me a couple of hundreds to get them fixed.

Oh guys that's great news, I was worried about the whole regency thing, but it is registered so hopefully I'll be alright. I'm still looking around here in Adelaide for one but if I can't find one then I'll seriously consider interstate

I got my Stagea (registered) from Qld last year, took the obvious stuff off (like boost guage, boost bleed control, turbo timer, etc) on the side of the road prior to going thru Sturt Rd for the engine # inspection, and it wasnt a problem. Pulled over down the road and put it all back on again!

If the interstate vehicle is in a high state of tune then there could be problems, if mildly mod'd then just take off what you can prior to having the identity inspection. Dont get reamed into going to Regency tho......

Yep what the other guys said is true regarding blatantly obvious mods, but put it this way... I got passed at the id inspection in my 32GTR with an R34 motor, N1 turbos, pods, big injectors, cams, coilovers, bov's etc

So... its not real hard!!

Thanks for the support guys! vange, I'll take a look at that dealer, see if they have anything of interest, do you happen to know the price?. I've considered upgrading to a 34 but I'll probably stick with an S2 33. I've always said to myself the only 34 I'd get would be a GTR :)

As for how the accident happened, LONG complicated story to explain on the forum in text but basically, some ass came into my lane in the hills, sent me out of control and kept going...

My car was exactly like yours but a series 1 and had a sunroof, was a great little car, miss it VERY much. For insurance I went with Just Car and they insured me for $18500 so I get a bit of money back but I'd rather have my car and no hassle of buying another.

All these stories of passing through from interstate inspections is sounding better and better. I'd say the only things I'd have to remove are the PFC hand controller and boost controller, the rest should be cool

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
