Hey all

Thought i'd share this with you

It started with a night at the movies with a few friends, followed by a small cruise around the Botany area...

Had a good night and a few laughs with the boys until it was time to head home...

I approached a round about near my mates house. Looked left all clear , looked right all clear. I proceed thorugh the roundabout and as i was about to take the 2nd exit, i hear my mate (in the passanger seat) just scream out :P but it was to late . Some idiot on my left didnt see me and hit my the passanger door. The impact f***ed my left tire and all i could do was just break as i went crashing over 2 small islands finally to be stopped by the impact of hitting the gutter... after releasing what just happened and coming back to reality i could hear a very loud noise. looking at my rev display the damn needle was bouncing at 7,000 RPM without me having a foot on the accelirator or anything. First thing that crossed my mind was that the car was going to blow up.. my mate in the back seat was screaming to get out, we all jumped out and ran as fast as we could. after a few seconds the car exploded BOOOOMM :D lighting the night in flames !!! (well not really, i spiced that part up a bit ahaha :D ) .. realising the car wasnt goiong to blow up i went and turned my engine off, the car must of been boucning at 7,000 RPM for a good 30 second to a min.

The black Celica parked and the driver rushed out appolagetic , we exchanged details and i phoned the police...

My whole left side of the was totaled, front pannel was belted in, my tire was on an interesting angle that wasnt touching the road , door was belted in and the rear pannel had a shit load of scratctches and gashes on it.

I took the police 2 hours to make an appearance, they did the whole "cop" thing and asked 1 million questions...

i hadnt had any alchol in my system but the driver of the celica admitted to having "1 glass of wine" .. when he got breathalized he was just under, at 0.038 i think :D and that was after 2 hours of waiting for the damn cops... Cops were very nice and helpfull even gave me a ride to my mates house. we didnt all fit in the back seat of the paddy wagon so we all jumped in the jail bit.

Anyway thank the heavens that everyone is safe and walked away without injury ....

Sorry guys no pics, cops took plenty though lol... yeh we both had insurance but its the nervoue wait of hearing what they say... the tow truckies said I should start looking for a new car ...

Cars can be replaced, people cannot....

consider yourself lucky that your all ok, and that the driver was under the limit as insurance wouldnt have payed out if he was over..........

Id say start looking for a new car too... glad to see that a skyline wasnt at at fault or making front page news!

It is quite possible you could prove that he was over the limit when the accident happened but you should avoid that completely because you want his insurance to cover you. If he gets done DUI his insurance with leave him (and you) high and dry.

we all jumped out and ran as fast as we could. after a few seconds the car exploded BOOOOMM :( lighting the night in flames !!! (well not really, i spiced that part up a bit ahaha :) ) .. realising the car wasnt goiong to blow up i went and turned my engine off, the car must of been boucning at 7,000 RPM for a good 30 second to a min.

LOL Cars dont go BOOM like in the movies. That is explosives :huh: (But good addition to the story)

Glad you are ok mate. Must suck to see your baby in pieces. :)

Where abouts was this?

Bexley, the roundabout on New Illawarra RD... Must admit the cops were pretty good to me considering a p plater in a skyline . If anything they were giving the other guy a lot of grief....

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
