hope everything goes well at the doctors mate.

so long as you are physically sorted, the insurance will take care of the rest. she was easily the best 33gtst I have seen in Perth and she will be missed.

hop you get to buy back the wreck, would be a shame to lose your new motor.

make sure you keep us posted on the future plans... bring on the GTArrh!?!?!?!?!

just been up at the emergency ward for another 3 hours, had a CT scan done as the x-rays showed a possible fracture/flake off one of the vertebrae in my neck.

scan came up fine, either an artifact on the x-ray, or slight calcification, and the doctors were surprised all i had was a muscle discomfort in the right side of my neck, considering what i had been through.

now that im fine, time to sort out the twisted metal!

gt51r - possible whiplash, but its hard to see with the scans, so its kind of a wait and see game, however i seem to be doing alot better than most in my situation, which i think is great.

ive had that many cars run through my head last night.. but i still have no idea what i will buy... i was going to buy a bike a while back, just lucky i didnt have this crash on a bike, instead of a car... but it will definately be a 4 wheeled vehicle, with a turbo or two. :P

ryan - once i get everything sorted with hospital, insurance, police, etc.. then i may have a few parts for sale..

yes it does suck.. but what can you do? just deal with it and move on!

Hey Ryan...you have my plates :happy: I wanted HYPER33 (hence my handle) when I got my plates, but I wanted the small plates and were limited to 5 characters :(

Mitchy, glad your scans came out ok :)

Dude glad your ok, yeah losing the car will hurt for a while but there are far more valuable things in life, you'll be right when you get stuck into the next motoring adventure.

Hmmmm maybe we should make that wreck of yours an auto :nyaanyaa:

Mate please dont buy a bike.......

Although the speed of them is incredible and such a rush I was reminded lastnight as to how dangerous they are, waneroo road, 8pm just after tuart hill mac donalds 6 cop cars 3 ambulances, bike was on wanneroo turning right into side road and unfortunately got cleaned up by a white falcon wagon...... Ummm I have seen some bad things in my life I really was not prepared to see what I have done. Also whilst managing Zest in Bibra Lake our member was 15 metres away from our front door and unfortunately got cleaned up by a truck, really nice guy too.

The damage really is that much more when on a bike, from what I have seen you can still be in the right but motorist just dont see you.

Im still a little bit funny from what i saw lastnight and motrobikes, have always thought it would be great to have one but thank goodness you got rammed up the bum in a nice skyline than on a nice gsxr, i dont think you would be in the same condition you are now needless to say :-(

about 73% of all serious accidents involving motorcycles last year were the fault of car drivers. Being in the right doesn't help you when you are laying on the road in a crumpled heap man.

I was raised on bikes from the age of 9 and I can say that in the last 10 years it has got too stupidly dangerous out there for any sane person to ride a bike in this city on a regular basis. My last bike sat in a shed untouched for 6 months before I sold it because I became convinced the last words I was ever going to here was "I didn't see him...."

*cough* GTR *cough*.....

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
