Help Needed - Crashed Car

[2fardown]

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.

Yes just quietly...something stupid i did that will never do again

Check with MR GTR...they are really cheap, and good. And quick..

[Guest DFLASH]

don't worry mate, it won't cost that much to fix.

i've had a more expensive lesson..

2nd hand engine + labour = $$$

no more boosting for me!

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

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

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.
