Who Bought The Damaged R33 Gtr At Pickles Auction On Wednesday?


Recommended Posts

that really pisses me off. Now I get fking screwed on premiums because of other wankers dodgey claims. nasty.

Seems as though the insurers didn't do much of an investigation, with so much evidence available, it sure does piss you off.

I killed approx $20k at WSID in my mess and even had the tow truck driver spinning a story for my insurance claim, why bother though just take it on the chin and get on with life.

at last years powercruise there was an NSX that got really badly smashed up on the track and a week later we got a quote from a panel shop that is one of my customer for the same car (i sell honda spare parts) my assistant manager was doing the job and i got him to call the panel shop and ask if it was all through insurance and they said yes.. I went onto the powercruise website and found pics of the car against the wall and on the towtruck

Correct. However - I know that NSX owner (Angus) and his insurance company stated they WOULD cover him for the power cruise event, so it was a legal claim :ninja:

at least it was a legit claim. Was it him or his mate that was driving because i heard that it was his mate that was driving

His mate. The car has now been prepared and due to having to replace the guards etc, it's now widebody (bodykit was cheaper than factory panels)

yeah good man. like I said I've backed my car into the wall before at EC. not bad, but bad enough that it cost me money to fix! probably a few grand in the end. didn't even think twice about defrauding my insurance company. They have been there for me when one of my cars was stolen so why would I want to rip them off?

Thats what i heard was happening to it. Got any pics of it?

so say he's been driving 10years.

pays $1500k each year, he's paid the insurance company 15k never made a claim......

then, has an accident and cops in on the chin? screw the insurance company!

they are the bad guys (unless he makes a claim like every 2years)

If your a shit driver drive on the track or the road, your still gonna have an accident.

dont cry to this guy about insurance, cry to your insurance company they are the one reaping the profits while premiums still rise

Without the Cat, the sound the car made was like sex to a car enthusiasts ears, and with the Hi Flow Cat, it still was nice, just not as emotionally intense haha...

Anyways, its good to hear the Car will live to see another day...

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
