Friday night was taking missus home, lady driver jumps accross a median strip, as she does her hub cap flies off and wacks my bonnet and front window, then after slowly braking because the lady is now stopping in the middle of the road in front of me, a guy wacks into my rear!. bloody fantastic. Had a unnoficial guy look at it and he reckons its a write off. SOOOO GAY! had it for like 3 months! Anyway see how it goes. Fingers crossed its fixable. Will probably loose alot outta this one

Heres the pics i know everyone loves! Although they bring tears to my eyes. So incredibly pissed off!

Yea im fine, got some wiplash kicking in now. Sucks driving, feel like someones gonna ram into me all the time now! Sorting out all the insurance crap now. Really hope it goes quickly. The guy who did the rear seems really good and should be sorted out quickly but the chick who did the front prob will be harder but is the least of my worries, once the back is fixed it will be fine.

hopefully get it checked out this week. Nervous! some ppl are saying for sure it will be fixable but a some are saying its screwed.

i guess it depends on whether there is any structural damage? Looks a lil bit twisted, but just looking at it id say it should be fixable, though it will never be the same. Do you have lowered/tight suspension? A knock like that can put things out of alignment sometimes.

Hope it all goes well, hey. Everytime i drive i stress someone is going to hit my car, hey.

I think she was smoking crack. Shes such a b****. She reckons it wasn't her fault. too bad the police and insurance don't agree with her. She abused me on the phone the other day, i have been so nice to her considering what she did, she just snapped, "I didn't do anything wrong, you were speeding, i couldn't see because it was dark, my brakes didn't work, bla bla bla" Didn't know there were that many excuses. In the end i just said look lady you got two options, here is a quote for the repairs, how you pay for it is up to you, give me the cash or make a claim and we'll do it through insurance. "Okay watever. bye!"

god damn. ppl on our road. I was sereously in the middle of a crazy crack smoking b**** and a rebel P plater who has no cause. - Ill take that back about the p-plater, he has been extremely good and fast with the whole process.

Neway, while its in for repairs im thinking of getting it touched up, and also was thinkking of replacing the rear garnish, and rear lights with the series 2 ones which i prefer. This should cost the same but maybe a little extra as ithey will need to be painted im guessing. Obviously i will pay the extra if they let me do that that is. But would give skyline a new arse to show off and maybe cheer her up abit ;-)

But otherwise looks like everthing should be okay. Not sure about long term damage to skyline, but guys from trojan motorsport will help out to source parts etc which is awesome of them. Should be on the road in say 4 weeks or so :-( :-)

Oh and wat does it mean when someone says that the car may never be the same again?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
