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.

      R34 GTR running rich and noisy turbo coincidence

      Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      R34 GTR running rich and noisy turbo coincidence

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
