Hi guys,

Unless there was another crash that morning this one would have been me and my white 33. It was on ellenborough drive at the turnoff to barton hwy. I was going striaght down ellenborough toward the city and someone didnt see me coming and started to turn from ellenborough onto barton. I didn't have time to get out of the way. The other driver and I are fine. Bit of a sore neck for me today (day off work, woo!) but I'm trying not to think about the real issue here, the car! I'm not sure at this point if my baby will make it. Her front-right quarter is now gone. The wheel was twisted back in a way that no man should have to see. The door was crumpled in a bit as I had to barge against it to get out. I don't know how fixable any of it is so I'll just wait and hear from the insurance guys I spose.

:)

Adam.

Not good at all. Sounds like you weren't at fault which is one thing. But the main thing is you are and the others involved are OK - which I am glad to hear. :)

Well I found out today that the car is written off. It was an awesome car that treated me well. I'm still undecided as to whether I'll get another 'line striaght away. I might actually see what it's like to have some money in my pocket for a change and get something cheap (oh god what am I saying?).. I have every intention to get another one at some point though!

That is a shame mate

Looked like it was a nice ride

glad everyone was ok though and I hope that you don't have any hassles with insurance

see if you can buy the wreck back for a couple of grand and wreck it yourself. you will bake a bit of extra cash back that way.

Get another line dude :) they are quite cheap at the moment and you will hate anything else you get!

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
