well I picked up my R33 yesterday and loving every minute of it today on my way to work driving up high street from stud road and came to the red lights at corner of catheys lane and high street. I was in the far right lane heading up towards glen Waverley and the lane next to me was for turning right onto catheys lane. Now road work was going on as usual so there were traffic cones on my right side with enough gap for a small car to fit through. Looked in my mirror and noticed a green EL falcon coming down. Next thing I see is she indicates to turn right and not slowing down at all tries to squeeze in but instead side swipes my car. Drive of after her exchanged details. she on the other hand was proud and said "gee that’s pretty good huh only some scrapage not fender bender"

all I could do to that was give her a blank look while picturing me strangling her lol

well called up insurance company and they will sort things out. She wasn’t insured so got a written statement from her along with all her license details.

Damage to my car is right rear quarter panel has scrapage from where the bar starts to the start of the driver’s door.

Accidents do happen but it shows how careless some people are on the roads.

Thanks for listening/reading

Ash

How hard was it not to crack her in the nose?

lol was pretty hard. surprisingly i didnt even lose my temper. think seeing the kid in her car calmed me down and didnt wanna yell at her in front of the kid

and chanz in due time my friend.

Yeah i seen similar things happen while i was in melb. Was working up ther n was on way home. Was slowing down for the lights at this intersection and wanted to go straight. The right turning lane was empty and the guy behind me just slowed down behind me blocking access for any car to get into that right lane untill we moved on. This dumb B!tch came racing up behind this guy behind me, wanting to get into that right turning lane and thinking that he was going to keep moving but when he stopped she ran outta road and hit him.

Just another dumb ass trying to push in and impatient.

Oh and just this last wkend i when everyone was coming back from school holidays etc i saw some pretty average driving. I nearly had a couple of accidents due to other tossers on the road.

- Was cut off when some ass wanted to overtake me right at the end of a overtaking lane where it merged back in. Had to brake hard to avoid accident and while watchin & trying to avoid hitting this person i failed to see a dead wallaby on the road (was nite time) and ran over the bastard.

- Came round this corner @100km/h only to be greeted by another dick coming towards me on my side of the road. Lucky for me they had a good sealed sholder and i was able to dodge that one.

- When stuck in a pack of 20+ cars on a normal road i was amazed that people still risked there lives and the lives of others on the road just to gain that much needed one or two places up the line of cars. Note: cars already doing ~100km/h.

i still made it to the same place at the same time as these people staying in the pack.

I could see oncoming traffic having to brake and move off the road to aavoid accidents.

I live in the country and this is quite a regular occurance.

what is it with some (in these cases) women who will tailgate and weave in and out of lanes to get that little bit ahead?....my guess is because they are always running late...you know chicks who are never on time etc...

i see this b1tch in a dark blue excel with dark tints seemingly every other day driving to work, super tailgating & weaving only to have me repass her because the dumb cow is in the slow lane at the next set of lights...lights go green and she starts all over again, a few k's down the road and what do you know? she's made a whole 2 cars ahead of me after seriously risky driving especially in the wet like today :whistling:

not bad looking tho :ph34r:

(not stereotyping women but it just seems that they are the ones i always see)

lol Ash, I was jokingly saying that I hope you don't dmg that car soon....ah well bad luck man, im shocked lol, dont you dare post pics up, ill be upset. lol.

lol dude i was thinking to myself how would you feel knowing that i just got it of your hands yesterday and now this. but hey atleast it wasnt my fault lol

but ye i hope she does pay out.

what will happen though? like i got her drivers licence details and did re-check em to make sure its all correct, got rego and a statement written by her admiting her fault and got her to sign it. i told my insurance company (justcars) about it and they told me that they will sort it out. basically they bill her for my excess. so does my car get fixed while they are sorting it out or they will have to wait till my excess is paid first by her and then my car gets fixed?

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
