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.....?

Nah we weren't really going quick hey, lost it around the turn about 60-70 k's, I said when we got in the car take it easy you crash it you own it.

This wasn't no mountain run fun thing, he says he thought it was a different turn which is why he went into a bit to quick.

PSI_GTSII "guessin you can't do or expect to much from your mate"

your kidding right? so if you jump in someones car and you crashed it you wouldn't expect to pay for the damage you caused?

well that's unfortunate. bloody beer.

i let tharaka/darK drive my car the other day. beforehand though i said "okay, we are now entering into a verbal contract" consideration etcetc. then he got the back out first turn hahaha :P

I feel your pain man.

same thing happened to me bout 1 1/2 years ago.. i had a 94 starlet gt (back then they were worth bout 15,000) and my mate drove it into a fence... i also had no insurance as i didnt think i would ever need it. Worse yet he bailed on me, ive never seen him since and havnt seen a cent for the car.

Hope everything works out for ya

okay since no one else has done it yet ....

That'll buff right out :)

no insurance as i didnt think i would ever need it

Whats up with this ... is it the new way of saying that I couldn't afford insurance and therefore the car?

What happens if you run into a Merc or a porsche or something??

the side damage was similar to yours, but we didn't have any frontal or engine damage (although both doors needed to be replaced, as well as the front and rear lights).

i think in your case it would be better to strip the parts, and then collect the difference from your friend as with the money it'll cost to repair your car, you could have bought another gtr already.

I dont think the car can be repaired anyway, the c pilar is dented and thats part of the chassis, meaning structurally it might never be engineerable again even if it was repaired.

your best bet is to part it out.

I know you might not want to hear this already, but what do you want for the wreck and if you dont want to sell the whole wreck to me (I am willing to strip it myself as I need some parts myself) what do you want for the engine, intake side of things (fuel rail, injectors, plenum) gearbox, engine harness and all the pipework (thats still intact) for the engine. (Dont need turbos, exhaust, FMIC etc) Can discuss via PM if you like.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
