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.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
