When i first saw her car, i came around a corner so was only doing about 30km/h. She was about 50m in front. When i went to overtake her i sped up but not that much, less than 50km/h. There were some people there but they said "I was flying."

This is bullshit. I truly believe because of the sound of my exhaust and type of car they just assumed i was speeding. That i was just some P plater punk in a skyline. I told the police i was doing less than 50km/h (it's a 50 zone), because that was what i was doing.

50km/h will look reasonably fast especially when accompanied by a loud exhaust note. I get odd looks from all of my neighbours because by exhaust rumbles, even when going well under the speed limit.

Did you suffer any injuries from the accident?

I had a five car pile up and it took 6 months to get money out of one of the insurance companies!

I noticed you said she mentioned "you came out of no where" !?!

She musn't have been checking her mirrors and/or paying attention to traffic............ isn't that careless driving anyone?

Just push that point to her insurance company and don't let it go!

as a lesson that i learnt from my sisters bf's accident. u must always give way to ur right no matter wat situation. this was worked out between the insurers n favoured in his side. (cops favoured the accident to b my sisters bf's fault but because there was no red light camera and no witnesses apart from passengers the insurers changed the desicion)

in ur case she didnt give way to her right, even if u were behind her slightly

huh so ur saying if he was on the left and she was on the right, he would be wrong?

dun think it matters which side, she was the one changing lanes without checking as she mentioned (he came out of nowhere).

i dun see in this situation how craig V8 taffe can be in the wrong if everything he told us was the truth

    • Spotted in Adelaide last week.... mine! New to me two weeks ago.. love it!
    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
