Kimberley's (one of the members of this forum) skyline has been written off after her ex bf crashed it, this is the same guy who drove her car for her on the one cruise she was able to attend and subsequently got lost as well.

The accident happened on the exit of a roundabout, the car is fairly well damaged and insurance assesors have decided its too costly to repair.

the sad part about it is kim's parents have decided that she will not be allowed to replace the car with another skyline, deeming that the cars are too powerful for her, even tho she obviously managed to keep her car in fine order till her ex got his mitts on it.

she is very upset about it and i doubt she will see this, tis a sad thing :D

How old are you kim if you don't mind me asking? Your parents won't let you have another skyline? Who's boss here?

Fair enough if you were the one that crashed it but for someone to say that you have to downgrade your car performance wise when you can drive a skyline responsibly and under control is a joke. Most likely they'll want you to get something like an excel (cheapo shitbox)...and the skyline would run rings around a car like this...handle much much better and therefore be safer.

Sorry to hear about the acco to.

Regards,

Scott.

sorry to hear that, a skyline is worth more than any car I know, like myself I have been driving for 12 years,a nd I drive as a job, so I know how to handle a car, and a 40 tonne forklift, but I hope you can get things soughtd out, and if your looking for a new bf, im avaiable ;P and I have a skyline =D

I'm 21, the acco happened 3 days after my 21st, so that majorly sucked. The car was hit on the drivers front guard, it crumbled just like aluminium does. The rim split in two, wrecking all the suspension on that side. The crappy thing is that just cause it's got gtr guards, bonnet and front spoiler, it's just gonna be too much to fix.

I have the option to buy it back but the chassis is peeled back or some crap, so it's in my (or everyone else's stupid opinion) best interest to just take the money and run. Even though I didn't crash it, it was my policy, bringing my rating down to a 7, increasing my insurance to $5k+ per year.

The car is getting auctioned at some stage, all I have is a number for the accessor if anyone seriously wants it. I'll try and get some pics of it, before and after.

I have to make the decision to either buy a new car, or a crap one and keep saving for another one later down the track. This is partly smarter then getting another 'line as I can increase my "pathetic" rating and one day when I do get another it wont hurt so much financially. It hurts more that they were gonna fix it and four weeks later they tell me its a total loss. SO NOT COOL!! Note to everyone..........................................

PLEASE DON'T LET ANYONE DRIVE YOUR PRIDE AND JOY, it so ain't worth the risk.

PS: At the end of the day, a male couldn't handle the skyline, GO GIRLS!!!!! :Bang:

sorry to hear about this.

that's why my pos 32 is only insured for me and no one else can drive it.

and indeed there are more accidents caused by male drivers than female drivers. My mum drove a lot worse than me but she never crashed her car. go figure. :rolleyes::rofl:

Kim sooo sorry to hear about your loss! Hope u get back on the road ASAP.

The two years i was with my ex i never let him drive my ZX or my Line when i got it. His mates used to poke the piss cos i wouldnt let him drive it and i used to get the ..... well i let u drive my car .... which was always good comeback as "well its a company car and not yours anyway" ..... but after someone has lost their license 9 times, written off 2 cars and pranged countless others ... would u trust them with your baby? I dont trust anyone with my car .... rightfully so .... its the most expensive thing i own and at 20yrs of age its everything to me ..... its what i get for all the hard work I put in.

Kim if he did that too me i tell ya he would be in hospital right now!!

:grouphug: ...... take care come back and visit :)

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
