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 :)

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
