Looks like the blue commodore was gunning down the street, suspicions were he was drunk (not comfirmed) he veered left into the parked cars, hitting the ute which hit the suby, the commodore somehow snapped into reverse, with his foot still flat to the floor, started spinning the wheels (heard this from a st away) it went back up the road and hit a tree, cracking the tree in half.....

Its lucky there werent small kids out the front as there is always kids in that street. The suby owner is pissed, 2 months old and limited edition... and the ute is pretty much written off......

If it turns out the driver was drunk the shit will hit the fan

im suprised the airbags didnt go off.......

THats my interesting afternoon

bet there wont be a news article about it :(

No P's. Not a grey import. Not a chance.

If it does make the news it'll be an "unspecified sedan that got involved in an accident with a high power limited edition WRX, a car favoured by ram raiders and hoons".

Awesome.. Cheers for the photos.. yeah WRP 10.. unlucky.. i'd be pissed as well consider he would have had no idea what was going on..

Hmm snapped into reverse.. maybe it was an auto.. you can see the tire marks where it reversed...

just to confirm, it was an auto, no way the driver did it, suspicions is that on impact as such the tranny has moved back forcing the selector forward hence into reverse.... the wheels were still spinning full speed whilst the commy was on the tree, bystanders had to turn the car off, the driver was out, went to hosp in ambo, not a pretty sight, didnt know wat the fark was going on, didnt even realise he was in a acco..... the ute was parked before the telegraph pole before impact.......

ouch!

if it were a merc or something would you lot still go "bloody merc drivers!" ??

regardless of the car.....if the driver was drunk - hope he gets what he deserves - 10 years with bubba

    • You know what, I am enjoying your updates, but I have to say it is pretty poor form to walk into a shop that is paying for space and stock on the floor, try all their seats to work out what you are happy with, then buy somewhere else. If everyone did that the shop will be out of business with no opportunity for anyone to try a seat before buying. 👎  
    • Good work, and thanks for posting up your solution for future people!
    • Yeah mate that’s the plan, I just want something I can have fun in and work on during weekends.  There’s really only 1 road fit to drive the car on and luckily is been redone recently.  I do want to tune it next year sometime, no dynos here so I’m looking at an ECU that can be remote tuned. 
    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
