oh pulease that skylines in awesome nick

now i'll show u how to write off a gtr :(

Talks cheap! PICS!!!!!! :(

Doesnt even look like there is any suspension damage so the hit has caused what appears to be cosmetic damage only. Start getting some parts together and fix it up :(

Bad luck champ - drove past you just after it happened. Peak hour, rain, and you looking pretty down on yourself next to the car.

Must say it looks much worse in the pics than what I saw on the freeway but then I really only saw one side of it.

And like others have said, looks cosmetic only - fix her up, but if it aint a GTR lose the badge I reckon.

im affraid i am a grandma driver in the wet too. im scared to death of something like this happening to my car.

can you get a friend (a very good friend) who has insurance to put their hand up and say it was their fault and you can pay their insurance bills?

VERY VERY VERY bad advice. Insurance fraud is not on. SAUWA does not endorse it.

I'm sorry to be so hard on you Lucy, unless you were kidding :P

yeh, i got a good mate helpn me out with a quote cos he does business with midland smash so there comn back with a price for me.. and im guna look at getn some GTR guards slaped on perhaps as well..

ill see what happens, lets say iv got more respect for rwd cars in teh wet now :blush: without a doubt if it was in teh dry im pretty certain i could of pulled it back but wet just yeh wayyy to slipery :) could of been worse, could of been overtakn at a higher speed like a truck or somthn..

Did you see it happen taynewguy it would of been a awsome thing to watch.. guy behind me who stoped behind me was like woa.

btw teejay its not stock. has AFC, larger turbo and the usual associated mods. If i had a GTR i doubt i would be in the situation to begin with praise awd.. didnt get a GTR straight away cos i didnt think that would be wise coming from a 170hpatw fwd car to somthn with double the power and is tail happy. rather work my way up.

I don't know how you could lose it like that overtaking at the speed limit, unless you dropped down a gear and planted your foot flat to the floor on wet roads... which is just silly. I never use full throttle on wet roads unless I want to do something silly lol even then it doesn't even take full throttle to step it out, you really need to be careful on wet roads! Glad you're okay though, as that's the most important thing as cars are easily replaced. Hopefully you'll learn from this experience and have more respect for performance vehicles and road conditions. The car doesn't look to be in that bad of a condition considering your description of what happened!

Next time get insurance! If you had hit someone else's car you'd be in so much strife... at least get third party no matter what car you drive.

      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.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
