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?

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
