iv only had my car for a short time (almost 3 months) and i was about to get it insured with just cars,......the 3,000+ they quoted me was alot for me so i had to save up, and i was $600 short.

accident happend in melbourne 2 nights ago comming onto the eastern freeway at about 8:30pm we were going about 30kmph around the down ramp and my gf was driving, the roads were wet and it was really busy.

she put her foot down not that hard to get to 100 k's when were were on the straight, next thing you know the back end slide out and we were heading toward the side/hill sideways, car hit the hill while it was sliding and it flipped twice.

we are both okay but im a shatterd mess i will post some pics when i find my camera i went to the salvage place today and got my stereo and air filter that i had just put on not even a week before.

and before you all start saying servs you right for not getting insurance, well yeah i guess it does but then again i wasnt driving the car anyway so it wouldnt have been coverd in my gf's name.

faaaaaaarrk, now im out of work cant pay rent and so on, fffffffffffffffaaaaaaarrrkkk :)

here is a pic i took of my car earlier that day...il do the before and after thing

Yes you are a silly for not getting insurance, you could of spun shit and said you were driving it! How do you think the rest of people claim insurance?

Im sorry your car is a write off but you really need to get insurance sorted before you start driving a sports car thats worth more than 2 K.

Ah well, I guess your GF owes you lots of different favours, sexual, unsexual you name it!

not sure if i could of because people pulled over and had to help us out because the car had stopped on its side, (drivers side against the ground) if i was able to get out, sure i would of

bah hum bug, oh well its a miracle me and the mrs dont have a scratch on us, it could have been alot worse

yeah dude thank God you are ok with your girl... a car is only money in the end.

my next question i guess is, how much an an rb25de worth with gearbox and loom, it had done under 100,000

the only things i would be able to get from it would be...maybe wheels, but they are shit 2 tyres are blown/4stud,

front and rear lights, seats and dash, also the boot/spolier is fine

i really need to know because im just waiting for the guy at the wrecking yard to go "il give ya $1000 for it" and in my current financial position im kind of f**ked on

yeah oh well, i spose in a way its better i didnt waste any more money on it because it would have been 3000+ excess and even then i wouldnt have been able to collect it because of gf driving, anyway

here are some pics of the pain

the back quater panels are dented like all f**k, but the back/spoiler is perfect

I feel for you mate.

Tonight, I just had a hairy moment in my daily driver. the car has very low traction. it's a death trap. I was just driving along, I adjusted my position in my lane, then boom, the car was sideways and i was steering for my life. I hit the kerb. nothing is visibly broken, but this car is getting sold asap.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
