Hi guys...Well last night it finally happend. Went out for a cruise with my mate in the skyline...Did something stupid, lost control and slammed into a gutter. (No panel or body damage).

From a first glance the front left mag wheel & tyre (standard 5 spoke mag) were in bad shape. Hole in tyre and chunk taken out of the mag. I tried to jack it up and change the tyre but it was pushed back into the wheel arch. So i had to get the car towed.

I found out this morning that the control arm has been bent and also there is something wrong with the suspension.

What I need is a parts dealer in QLD preferrably or anywhere who can help me out sourcing some spare parts. Im not personally doing the repairs, the panel beater is but i dont want to pay $$$ for brand new parts.

If anyone knows of a business that can supply such parts, please send me an email with the details...any help is appreciated.

Thank-you.

Bryce

Funny enough i have managed to do the same thing to my baby tonight :D

Was going a little 2 fast, cruised over a hill, to see that it ended in red lights and a hard corner. Needles to say i had to slam the brakes and do my best, ended up going up the gutter and doing the same sort of damage :mad:

AFAIK, the lower arm has snapped off, and something near the suspension looks rather loose. How much did the repairs cost for you? Any1 know respectable places in syd? I also want my car on the road asap, how long did ures take?

Mine cost $700 in parts....got them brand-new direct from japan...didnt want to stuff around with second hand parts. My lower control arm and something else was bent, mag wheel and tyre rooted as well. Only took 1 week to get the parts and that included fitting. All up i think it cost about $900-$1000. Just got it back last week.

Hey all,

I'm DFLASH's friend who had a wannabe drift accident. It always seems to be the front left for everyone. You'll need the lower control arm, castor rod, maybe a castor rod bracket if skylines use one and maybe a new steering arm.

It's not too hard to fix up, I have pics if anyone wants to see them.

      This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.

      My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
