OMG Joey :O:(

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*

Jess

Thanks Jess.

I hope it dose not take long to fix it cause i feel lost not driving. I was supposed to drive to canberra this weekend for my uncles birthday but had to go with my parents :) .The boot is pushed in maybe about half a foot or so and the drivers side from the door back is buckled so im praying to god it wont take long. :(

unfortunate luck there Joeys - gotta be real careful in the wet with these cars!! Also decent tyres with good tread depth makes a world of difference. I minimise the amount I drive in the wet because mine are getting down a bit - been trying to find some rims in better nick but failing that will just have to bite the bullet and get new tyres.

that vid is great :)

R31's drift hard in the wet. especially with a locker :)

find myself wondering whether a 1.5 way in my car would be a good compromise between sideways and driveability.

My car got towed to Just Cars Assesment centre at Condell Park today for their final assesment :)

Did anyone see it?

It was a sad moment to see. I only hope it turns out as good as it once looked.

I'm sure it will dude! they can work wonders these days, it's just a waiting game now!!!

My car barely makes it out of the garage these days because I'm a little paranoid about getting hit again!

Hi all!

Just got word from Just Cars and the car will be getting towed today form their assesment centre at Condell Park to Senator Smash Repairs at Rooty Hill/Glendenning to be fixed. Spoke with them and should have the car back in a month or there abouts. Yeah!

Has anyone heard about this smash repair before?

Joe :)

No courtesy car for me, if it was an accident with another car involved and i was not at fault then yes one would be provided. In this case no no.

So i will be looking around for a cheep car. Sorta been looking for one so i don't have to drive mine every where to keep km's down. If anyone knows of one please PM me.

Hi all. Can someone answer me this question?

My car is getting repaired and i would asume that the battery has been disconected during te full tine of the repair. Will the computer loose it's memory in regards to the tune or not :D ? Will i have to get the car tuned again? :(

    • 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!
