thanks guys.

Yeah, it could've been worse. But hey, I could've just stayed in bed.

I was just sitting at the lights waiting with the car infront. Minding my own business. *bang*

Rear quater has a fold near where the fuel filler is. Rear quater is what concerns me the most...time wise.

Bad luck Wil. On the positive side, it could have been worse mate. I would check with your insurer, but if your car is registered (or primarily used) for work purposes, then you could have the costs of a hire car reimbursed.

that sucks mate. nothing worse than being the victim of someone elses poor driving. that will be easily fixed, even the rear quarter will be no big deal. you will never even know it happend. skylines can take quite a hit in the rear without hurting the car as there is no chassis rails or structural members past the rear suspension. the boor area etc is all just crumple zone.

:wub::):P

Would be nice if the other driver was fined or had demerit points taken or had their eyes checked out or something!!

I parked my old car (lancer) in a carpark and an old lady side swiped my car while she reversed out.. she didnt even notice doing it... she never got a fine or anything.. grrrrrr .. those drivers should not be on the road!

Yeah, kinda sucks alot.

I seriously didn't think that could ever happen where it did. The road is a quiet 50km/h road.. very straight for atleast 100m before the traffic lights. It's not like you can't see the lights, you can see them from over 100m away...

9:30'ish on a Sunday morning...

Lights were red. I had been waiting for a bit already. One car infront. I guess I was lucky with not hitting the car infront.

That's a damned shame, dude, but at least you're OK.

Very true. Just a case of wrong place, wrong time. What really shits me is that I didn't *need* to be there at that time.

Ah well.

1) your car is exotic, exotics are expensive to fix :)

2) widebody time

3) pay off some of ya debt :wub:

I wish it was an exotic! Although if it was I think I would be crying right now.

Nah, no more mods.

Nothing owing on the car. Bought it outright, modded it when I could afford it. I'm an old bastard though compared to most on here. Although I look younger than nearly everyone....except doodz. lol

****EDIT: I'm a bit slow this morning... lol. :P

Careful with the old comments! :wub::) though you're lucky you look about 15 :P

think i know which light you were at too.. is it the one at new line rd? man that is a long stretch! the dumbass must have been fiddling with his radio or something! you seriously can't miss that light! and you're right.. lucky you weren't pushed into the car in front! that'd be ten times worse, cause you'd have front bar and maybe fmic damage... and who knows what after that!

you going to get some quotes today? or no time? :P

Yep, those were the lights.

I just got back from my panel beater's. He's taken photo's and written down all the damage and parts that need replacing, and he's going to go find prices now. If all goes well the car should be with him next week. He said it'd take maybe 2 weeks.

I hope it only takes 2 weeks.

I'm "working from home" today. Damn my neck and back hurt. :\

:( bad luck man.

Yeah lucky you left enough room in front. That's what happened to Ed's R34. Hit behind same way but pushed into car in front. Write off.

That would've really sucked.

bad go wil, suppose it could have been worse. and at least not you can shave the boot lock and remove that badge

Hey man, true. I actually thought about doing that. But what happens if the boot cable breaks? It's impossible to get into the boot from the inside of the car with an r33. lol

It'd look good though. I dunno.

I am so sorry to hear that wil, poor car :(

I really hope you have no problems with having it fixed *hugs*

Me too. Can't wait till this is just a fading memory

Damn :(

Looks like sunday was a bad morning for everyone - defects for me - yay

Hope the damage isnt too bad mate

That's not good re: defects.

Some bad karma going around on Sunday. Don't know why.

If your luck you might be able to get that graffiti on the side of your car, that some vandal has done, fixed up in the same claim.

w & b ?? :bunny:

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
