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!

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 :dry:

i upgraded from a 33 to a 34 GTR

but i wish i could upgrade my wife too :)

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

bastards

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?

Edited by jjjDavey

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.

thats some terrible damage mate, i wish you were in adelaide and it came as a repairable write off, id be pestering you and offering cash for your complience plate........

hope they got the wrong car or theres some obstruction in the speeding fine picture

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
