No Driving For A While! Not No More!


Recommended Posts

Guest Joeyz

Hi all.

I know it has been a while :P Got a call today to say that my car will be ready this Saturday. I am so hanging to drive again. It will be like a new car :mellow::mellow:

Hope to see you around some time soon!

Joe

Sorry to say i wont be on the road for a while ;)

Hear is the story i'd like to share.

Was driving to work through blacktown heading toward prospect and turned onto the Great Western HWY down the ramp and was raining hard, toward te end of the off ramp i was nearing and a car already on the HWY was doing about 50kph, older lady to be expected, no worries. So i moved across and over took her, easy for me to see out the front window thank god to rain-x, so i was gaining in speed toward 80kph in 4th gear when the back of the car stepped out, due to aqua plaining and the rear end come around to the right, now heading toward the left hand side of the road and a gard rail was nearing. The back end of my car contacted the rail mainly damaged the drivers rear end. So no rear lights at all, dad came down to drive behind me for safety reasons and got it home. The car is insured, just got to get a few quotes and then hopefully get it fixed like new again.

Here are some pic's

No SNS for me :D I will still come and see all at the SNS.

Oh, has anyone heard of any really good smash repairs in Blacktown or smithfield area. Past experience?

Reguards Joe.

Hey dude bad luck there, a mate in my street had a decent hit in his R33 not long ago, he is a member here and he had it repaired through insurance at HUME SMASH REPAIRS at lansvale. I couldnt believe the job they did considering the damage,look them up worth a try... Good luck

Louie is a 2 East St Granville, he has done a couple of jobs for us too, good quality workand no bullshit.

Sorry to hear about the crash....these cars can be a bit tricky in the wet can't they. Was your rear tyre tread depth good?

OMG Joey :laugh::D

Thats such bad news....so glad you are ok tho

It is hard to drive these cars in the wet at times, I know I have been taking it very easy for that same reason..

Hope you get her fixed up soon :P

*hugs*

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
