When Other People Turn Right From The Left Lane....

On my way to meet my wife at the hospital for our baby ultrasound (girl by the way!), I had the unfortunate displeasure of having my car rammed by an idiot.

This lovely individual was stationary in the left lane, about 50 meters up the road from me, with their right indicator on. As I approached in the right lane I wondered what they were doing, so I slowed down, guessing they were not quite sure themselves. After I decided no action was going to take place I maintained my speed and continued in my lane.

Of course... this person was planning to turn into a lane way on the right side of the road. And given there were no other cars in the area they were apparently just waiting for another car to get in their way before doing so.

Below are the results;

Now, time to get some quotes.

Reccomendations for a good repairer around Guildford/Parramatta/Smithfield/etc...??

Congrats on the baby girl!

As for repairs, I wish I could help. I haven't had to chase down a repairer in quite a while - and I hope I never have to. In saying that, you're lucky in that you've got a huge choice here in the areas you're looking at. May I suggest using someone the pretige new car dealers also use, but who also have experience with Skylines and imports in general...

Thanks for all the suggestions guys!

After quotes and an insurance assessment, the car is going to Hume Smash Repairs @ Lansvale. I'm really happy with them and the work they had there. All top quality and a bunch of Skylines and other high performance imports.

I'm getting all the parts brand new so nothing will be bogged up, now I just have to wait as I'm pretty sure they are all ex-japan :rofl:

It only happened yesterday arvo, it was actually the first time I drove my car to work in over 8 weeks. I was waiting most of that time for Nengun to send me my new fuel pump. lol

Insurance will pay for everything, so its all good. The assessor actually ummed and ahhhed about writing it off, saying they're not worth much nowadays, etc... I convinced him to fork out for the ~$8k bill though.

And... I am so over the moon. Honestly, all the acts of violence that run through my head when I think of the car are banished by the thoughts of a little baby on the way :P

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
