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.

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!!

    • 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?
