I got rear ended this morning. Im kinda bummed about it because I got a speeding fine yesterday on my 21st birthday, and I think I lost my license. The worst thing is that they pegged me for 95 in a 60 zone leading on to an on-ramp of the freeway :) . Kind of an unfair spot, I think.

lol @ bday sex; geez mums can be so kind and thoughtful sometimes, hey?!?!

hahaha sorry man, joking, trying to get ya to laugh - good work on that account tho

With the speed camera and the area it was situated in, etc, you have all the right to go with it to court, plead for leniancy etc.

As for the rear end, man bad luck. Thats mighty depressing. Hope it all irons out ok

Now there's an emotional couple of days =\

Bad luck about the fine (you should fight I say!) Good work on getting some =D

I recently parted ways with a long term GF and my Series II GTS25T - Upgraded to a GTR and currently 'upgrading' to a hotter GF :wub:

Sometimes these kind of things are really blessings in disguise!

Good luck!

= $10k repair bill before you can even blink.....

I hear East Bear body kits are really nice.....

You were right, and the panel beaters are booked solid so might end up being a write off!

Thanks for your support guys it means a lot :) . I wont be fighting the fine as I'm moving really close to my work so I'm going to take it on the chin, and save some money for 3 months!

back to the topic, 95 on a 60..ouch$

they set the camera there on purpose, bet they'd have a 60 sign right next to it too

bad luck dude, but as was said earlier, may be a blessing in disguise. to upgrade to a GTR!! :)

Il take a pot shot and say that u got pinged coming off canning hwy and that 60 zone to manning road. I know alot of people that been caught on that one. (thats the only one that i know on the freeway that's so stupid. )

Hope everything works outok.

I had a little shunt, had to replace the rear bar, rear panel, bumper re-inforcement, and spray the whole rear end.

To spray the whole rear end you also have to spray right over the roof and down the A pillers, as it's one section of steel.

My damage was HARDLY visibled, but the repair did need to be performed.

Total cost was $7,300.

The accident I see above needs

rear bar

rear panel

boot panel

brake lights x 2

boot

both quarter panels

bar reinforcement

window seals x 2

The remove and refit on those parts alone is going to be $10k

Then there's the labour to pull the car straight etc etc.

I put a beer on Write off.

Sorry man.

did you have insurance? or should i say did the person who hit you have 3rd party?

Ive always thought that meant their insurance company has to pay for it if at fault? so new car for you?

The assessor just called me and said its most probably going to be a write off, however I need to get a quote because if the accident goes to court they need evidence that it was actually written off.

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
