Hey,

Coming home from a mates party last night out in the mountain, let a mate drive my car home with me in at as I don't drink drive, well anyway the results of a amatuer and a gtr = bang

He was braking into and out of the corner that he approached to quickly, so shifted the weight onto the front, back end stepped out as we were turning, he panicked quickly countrsteered and let it snap back then jump on brakes and off the road we went.

2 trees and a fence and we were pulled up.

anyway what do you reckon, is it repairable or would you just strip it and sell it for parts?

cheers

first I would get a damage estimate, then I would go and give that estimate to my "friend" and finally whoop his ass to pluto!

I would think, that maybe you could repair it, but it will cost you heaps - and insurance wont cover you as you werent driving it......

Also should add, a rule that I used to have when I was drinking was that I never take my car out. If at all I was gonna be drinking and if I had to drive to get to the party or place or whatever, I take my old bomb, that way if I had to leave it there, I wouldnt be too worried about something happening to my car....

Insurance?

Could say you were driving.....

Either way that don't look too repairable but then again i've seen some cars totaled or what i thought was totaled and they end up being repairable. I'd get a few opinions from some bodyshops.

PS lesson learnt (don't mean that in a harsh way) to never let friend drive car.

Whoa....that sucks. You seem so blasé about it all, I could imagine myself in hysterics if the shoe was on the other foot.

Yeh I wouldn't say I'm not to fussed more so on the depressive side, the car was to be sold in a week or 2 for 17,500 thats money that could have been in my account ready for another car, but now there is this major inconvience with payment from said driver which will need discussing and time frame when I get it etc,

What can you do? thinking about just f**ks with your head.

Insurance is a negative, Haven't got any as I never thought "I" would need to claim

Ouch.. good to see your ok, as everyone said - write off for sure!..

"Insurance is a negative" - as in you don't have any, or they aren't going to cover you..

Good luck with getting the money out of your mate.. could be alittle difficult trying to get money from them...

well the good news is it's not the end of the world. if your friend is a good one he will offer to either take the car off your hands for $17,500 and wreck/repair it himself, of let you wreck it out and he will pay you for the difference between what you get at the $17,500 you were selling it for.

if he is not going to be a man, and doesn't offer to compensate you for his f**k up then there is not much you can do, but wreck it out and move on.

Well as everyone has said lucky your not hurt.

But im guessin you can't do or expect to much from your mate as by the looks of the damage you guys were fair flying, and guessing again you'd have given him permission to do so.....?

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
