It was just a car....

The important thing is that everyone's OK.

People see the photos and go OH MY GOD! Because everyone knows how quickly these things can happen.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

We're all here for you. :)

g'day everyone i found this thread from a link on overclockers, i just thought i'd say to vicki and the other guys that i hope they get better soon.

If this is the accident that happened on alexandra avenue about 2:55pm on monday then i was the one to find it driving outbound, upon finding it myself and i believe a guy named 'rob' who had been driving inbound, quickly called the ambulance, police etc. and made sure the car was switched off, it seemed bad at the time but it's good to see that noone was seriously injured. I waited around until the guy in the front was taken away but when i asked the police yesterday how you were they just said it was nothing too major, just cuts bruises etc.

It seemed like a completely freak accident considering it had just started raining and having been in that position myself before i can sympathise fully and it seemed like a fantastic car that was tragic to have been involved in such a nasty accident.

I was meant to give a statement to police on tuesday but as i live quite a distance away they said they already had enough witnesses, and I only saw the car come to a stop in the middle of the road as I was driving towards melb high school.

So vicki and company i hope you are all ok and the accident doesn't stay with you for too long and you get another skyline as it looked as though it was a much loved beast!

cheers,

rod.w :)

i would like to thank you very much for your help and assistance on the other day...i was the guy in the front passenger seat...we are all generally ok...a fractured wrist and cuts to face which needed stitches seems to be the worst of the injuries.

i was actually wondering how i could find out who you guys were to thank you in person...maybe we could meet up some time, il buy you a drink!

once again, thanks. and everyone...pls drive safe in these wintery days

I went past on my way home on Monday - and grabbed your bumper-bar and one of the foglamps - if you would like them as a memento they are in my garage :)

Glad you OK (and Sniffy too) - you are very lucky. The car must have been airborne to hit the tree so high up!

Sorry for poor quality of image - have bumped up the levels so you can see through the dark. Compare the height of my headlights to the height of the mark on the tree!

I have all these at higher resolution if anyone is interested.

Shows how easy something 'bad' can happen. Take lots of care out there.

Aw - Milky.

Don't let it get you down too much. Yes it was a lovely car, but it was just a car.

You are OK (and so are the others) - this is the important thing.

Some days 'life' just happens - you cannot predict what lies in store. You live to experience another day - whatever it brings. That's all part of the adventure. Hang in there :)

Boy - don't I sound philosophical :)

1st... glad to hear every1 is ok, you all did very well given the state of the car!

2nd... stick with the RAV4, as powerful cars don't seem to be 'your thing'

3rd... maybe sell the RAV4, and buy an early 80's falcodore?

It just goes to show that even skylines don't handle particularly well in the wet... 'specially after a couple of dry days, the road is JUST TOO GREASY!

P.S> the only reason i'm even being remotely stupid with points 2 and 3 is that sniffy is a ledgend the way he has approached the whole thing, everyone is ok and YOU HAVE TO GET OVER IT SOMETIME... ASAP!

      Starting again

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      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)
