Was the road wet at the time? Sounds like there may have been some oil on the road, which tends to make things a little hairy when it first rains in a while.

ps. If you are on southside, go and see Accurate Suspensions at Timms Ct, Woodridge. I went there recently and was more than happy with the pricing.

Southside as in springwood. Thats where he is as in Accurate Suspension.

My guess tho is if wheels are 45* out of wack, a wheel alinement wont be much help.

$175 for a tow but. Dude get RACQ today. Go fill out the form and get it. You should be a free to go member so it wont cost you anything. Even if it does, pay the money. We got a tow back from the coast and it was less than that.

in this case RACQ wouldn't have helped him much...

they would have seen that the problem was due to an accident and anal raped him even more... (this is because their roadside assistance doesn't cover accidents)

i.e. when my hicas lock bar snapped, they claimed it was due to an accident (it wasn't) and wanted to charge me $350 to tow the car 5km home, because that is their "accident" callout rate

From recent experience, check your lower control arm on the rear, as this is what took the main brunt of my little incident with Mr Gutter

But yes, take it to Accurate Suspension as stated above, they'll sort it out for u

Yeah i was beeing my cool and lets just say i ended up spining the car 180 and sliding sideways into the gutter, totaly fu&!@# the front wheel it was bent in, my insurance took care of it but the parts and all came to $3,500 because i asked the guy, that was just the parts without the labour, most had to come from japan, i also snaped one of the control arms, and i called racq for towing, cost me $230 for about 2.2km prrrrrrffff go the system lol. And pretty much all the parts had to be imported, best advice i can give u is ring up a couple of places first, just go to www.yellowpages.com.au and have a search and give some people a call, some of them might even be willing to come to you and see the car so you dont have to pay for towing again. And because u have a 33 you should be able to find most parts that you need at the wreckers youd be suprised how many 33's can be found at the wreckers, i know because i wanted to find an ash tray for my 34 and they all just kept say that they have 33 3's. But first find out whats damaged, that would be the best place to start.

Good luck man

All your left rear suspension is f**ked (upper, lower control arms, toe link, HICAS, possibly the upright) it will have to be replaced, the front is probably the same. The rear subframe is probably bent, The whole thing will need to be replaced, The calliper should be ok and the disk may be ok of your lucky. Your rims will be rooted, if your very lucky they may be repaired but looks unlikely.

This will be a very expensive repair job if done by a workshop - $3k - $5k depending on how much is rooted. If you do it all yourself maybe $2k.

If your were not doing something stupid at the time, you could have hade something in the suspension fail that caused you to loose control, you'll probaly not find the original fault with all that damage.

Good luck dude.

i also like to know what are the stuffs i had damaged.. so far, i guess the brake pad and brake disc need to be machined.. not sure if suspension need to be changed..

here a few pics i got..

still thinking whether to tow to beaurepairs or T jones or to a performance car shop to repair..

any more ideas? btw, alex34, what is a wreckers?

thanks all

A wrecker is a place where they have many smashed cars, some not even smashed and you go there and get the parts u need for very very cheap. There are many of them around brisbane.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
