Had an accident in the 4 door today, so I doubt Ill be at Autosalon.

Driving up towards Inglewood, came around a corner to see a car on the wrong side of the road heading for me.

I jumped on the brakes and swerved but lost control and hit a large rock.

(still it could have easily been much worse, and I got out without a scratch)

Biggest gripe was that lots of cars drove past and looked, (including members on this forum) but didnt stop to help or check everyone was OK. Thankfull a family in a Holden stopped and lent me a phone to call the police and my wife.

Thanks for the kind words. Its taking me time to come to terms with whats happened, and seems more personal than material (but it is only a car - and can be repaired)

The other driver didnt stop, so I dont have his details (it will cost me my excess, rather than a free repair) but Shannons were helpful.

ouch - looks very nasty!

Thanks God you're OK Guy - it can always be FAR worse!

It is my worst fear that some arseclown will be on the wrong side of the road heading up TTG hill - looks like a wide spot where the car came to rest. I thought they changed all of the centre lines to double up there, so there is no passing allowed whatsoever?!

Ohh thats heaps bad.....sorry to hear that, its really sad tho that the person who was the cause of it all gets away clean and you have to pay for everything....:(

yeah i agree, sorry to hear of you misfortune Guy, as you said it could be worse pity u didnt get his rego or a witness stop to give his rego and back your story up

Oh man that sucks! I was up there today going for a drive but I can't say that I saw you, if I did I would have stopped buddy, hope I wasn't one of the members that drove past! :(:thumbsup: Same thing happened to me up there buddy; that's how I wrote of my first Skyline. Dude on the wrong side of the road, I swerved to miss, car wiped out and the bastard just kept going when he clearly knew what had happened.

I hope you are ok buddy, know what it feels like to have to pay for an accident when it wasn't your fault, take care, keep safe and hope all gets sorted with the repairs really quickly!

As a result I am in the market for a nice set of rims (insurance will only replace 2) and a new front bar. Not sure if I will get the same again (I liked having something a little different as everyone has a 400R, Veilside etc. - not that they are bad, just that they are too common)

Looking for ideas for the front bar, and for a set of 2nd hand rims that r the same price as 2 new Avanti rims (cash is tight so I can’t afford to splurge on a brand new set of 4, but insurance should pay for 2 new ones)

im hearing you with the common front bars i found one in another country that looks very hot but they dont deliver to australia

so i have to save up for bar and extra shipping :( cause where i work have faCTORIES oops in the germany and england and the sphincter of the universe and usa :thumbsup: basically got the globe covered

EDIT

just thinking if it was the midnight purple R33 'VSPEC' or what ever his plate is then hes not on these boards

No it wasnt V-spec, though i have seen him driving at 5km/hr up our road, but i have never had the skyline with me (always Di's 4x4)

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
