i took a hit in the rear in my r33 and it was written off and was no where near as bad as this. i know the feeling mate, hard luck indeed.

see if u can buy the wreck back off the insurance company then strip it down :-)

Its a very sad site at home today. When I opened the blinds to let the sun in from the kitchen, there she was, all twisted and crumpled.

Mitchy is a little overwhelmed with what happened and isn't sure how he feels, whether it be sad/angry etc... I feel very sad, You come accustomed to someones car being a little bit of them....and its a bit of mitchy out there all bent and twisted. :(

What I don't like and find very insensitive are those people pm'ing him already asking for parts. >_<

IF he decides to buy back the car from the insurance co, all parts will be in the for sale thread.. Since this only happened yesterday, I doubt that that is going to happen anytime soon...so grow some patience and some decorum... www.dictionary.com for those that haven't seen that word before!!

There I've said my piece >_<

Thanks,

Kylie

Glad to hear you're ok Mitchy. Sorry about the car >_<

Kylie - I agree. When my 180sx got written off people started asking for parts that day. The same thing happenned to Dan with his GTR. Its so rude.... the last thing you're thinking of is pulling parts off your baby to sell.

So what happens in this situation? Did you manage to drive the car back to your house or did the towie tow it back.

I have always tried to figure out how towies work as i think they get paid extra $$$$ for towing it to panel beaters and I was under the impression that if the police come it has to go straight to a panel beater? can anyone confirm that?

If it is at your house and no one has taken records of whats damaged etc then does anyone know how far you can go in removing parts?

I dont want any parts as SLY is lovely just the way she is, however should unfortunately this happen to any of us this could be of interest to us all to make a somewhat smarter move out of an unfortunate incident.

Mitchy, Kylie - My condolences to both of you.

      I am well aware as I did rant at him to buy a MX5, buy the 2.5 before he DIY'ed it, etc as well as do things to the holden. He will obtain a ND. It's the best of both worlds. They look great in person, definitely the best looking one. Just a matter of time now.

      This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.
