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:

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
