man im really fumed. ive had my car back for barely a few weeks and already its bin damaged. i cant belive the stupidity of the guy. happened in a car park, fairly busy, end of the day, etc etc. just got food for me and my bro so i was on the way home. so just following like 3 other cars down the main lane of the park. just b4 theexit i c a 4wd waiting to turn into our lane out of one of the aisles. think 2 myself, its all good, i have right of way and then as i pass i see him move out of the corner of my eye. b4 i have time say wtf, f*ken BANG! right into my drivers door. look up and the idiot is sitting there wit a stupid 'apologetic' grin on his face. got out and hes scratched and dented my door all to shit while his bumper has nothing more than my paint on it. his excuse? "i didnt see u, just wasnt paying attention". bullshit! you saw the other cars in front of me u had to have seen me. moron. i was able to restrain myself though and kept these thoughts to myself, acted civil, got his details and gtfo of there.

on the way home though was just cruisin along in the slow lane trying not to drive stupid (which i tend to do when pissed). glance in the mirror and its completely filled wit another monkey in a 4wd. the right lane is free but this fool decides to sit right on my ass for a couple of kays. just as we're reaching a set of lights he then decides he wants to be in front. so he switches lanes, guns it, and switches back right in front of me. had to brake hard and switch or risk more damage. i am so sick of this shit!!

/rant.....woosah basti, woosah.

pics soon. just needed to let it out.

I'm with ya on that one... Farken sick of these 4WD drivers. Get the same shit every week on the princess on the way 2 & from work. They sit on ya ass 4eva then over take and speed off like a hero @ 130km. Had a bloody Rav 4 last week try to race me, he was doin 150km... F*@!en idot. :)

Its a bitch what happened dude, good luck with it.

"i didnt see u, just wasnt paying attention".

did u report to the cops, im sure if their was a cop present you could get him for negligent driving as well. "losing control of veichle" is the same shit as not paying attention to the damn road.

badluck mate i had a recent accident at my work too. but the guy was friendly enough to leave a note as i was parked

i was able to restrain myself though and kept these thoughts to myself, acted civil, got his details and gtfo of there.

Good to see you kept your cool especially after such a stupid mistake by the other guy. There are idiots in all types of cars, not just 4wd, but put an idiot behind a 4wd and it gets dangerous. Good luck with the repairs dude.

but put an idiot behind a 4wd and it gets dangerous

lol, tell me about it. I got cut of by a semi this morning in the commo going round a big roundabout. locked it up and slid up sideways beside him about a 1m from his back wheels as he went past then the bastard had the nerve to pull up, get out and proceed to tell me i need to learn to drive. the roads are full of idiots, just need to try and avoid them as best as possiable

either basti or Ommuru needs to change the avatar! it's confusing me!!

Omurru our evil plan seems to be workin at last.....MUAHAHAHA ;)

sorry just had a few drinks so im a little 'happy'. yeah i noticed the similarity b4. i have better pics of my car just cbf changing yet. might get round to it. damage pics will be up in a few :)

did u report to the cops, im sure if their was a cop present you could get him for negligent driving as well. "losing control of veichle" is the same shit as not paying attention to the damn road.

nah mate i didnt. to be honest all i really wanted to do was get myself out of there so i could vent somewhere private. plus im not really interested in "getting him" back, just wanna get my baby fixed up.

dam that sucks dude!!! post pics tho!!! tongue.gif

as requested:post-30915-1166796174.jpgpost-30915-1166796155.jpg

the bit i marked in red shows the extent of the dent. and it not a simple dent eitha, its kinda a few merged into 1. but still it doesnt look as bad now as it did b4. lol maybe a good solid buff is in order?

foznice - still confused? hehe

guys i wanna thank u for the replies . this was just a venting session for me. didnt really expect the support

:)

I feel your pain,

The bloke who lives across the road from me has a dirty big Patrol, and my best mate had his car parked outside my place (not opposite the driveway), lol I bet you can see what is coming :(,

The d**khead didn't even look behind him and went straight into it, biggest dent I have ever seen and almost $3000 of insurance to get it fixed, btw he only had a tiny scratch on his bumper, typical

But guess what, it gets better, the guy across the street is a cop ;), I felt bad for my mate, but the look on my neighbors face was priceless.

But yeah, sorry to hear about your car man, but at least he has insurance eh, could have been much worse, hope it works out ok

Regards,

Sean

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
