On the way home I passed a white R32 with its front caved in on south rd, the 2 Lanes of traffic by the smoke mart on South Road, where blocked with traffic being diverted.

It looked nasty so I hope this was no one from here, if it was I hope you escape with no or minor injuries.

my back dont look like its been hit at all, when i open my boot tho..... thats when u can see it lol. yeh he has insurance and all, its just a head f***. when it happened i just wanted to kill the guy, when he got out the car the first thing he said was "happy new years", this small asian man, that had the worst engrush id ever heard...

he has been helpful in getting this all sorted tho so i have no beef with him.

i hope the driver of the white 32 is ok tho.

Hey everyone,

that was my 32 GTR last night, but luckly nobody was injured in the accident.

My car is probably written off, and ive only hade it for 3 months, plus I have heaps of parts in my room to mod it, so im loving life right now, but everybody walked out of it so im glad.

I guess the search for a new GTR begins soon.

Are you able to comment on what happened?

I couldn't see any other damaged vehicles

Yeah mate,

basically, i came out of my mates street, about 2 streets up and was in the right lane, and a land cruiser facing the opposite way was waiting to turn right, he started to go, hesitated and stopped, then cut in front of me, didnt have enought time to brake, and went into his passanger rear door.

His car was still drivable, but mine was stuffed.

Good news is that I spoke to the insurance company, and as it isnt my fault, I dont have to pay excess.

Saw my car today to get my personal stuff, i nearly shed a tear, its a complete writen off. Here are some pics of it:

Yeah I was thinking about buying it back, its currently getting towed straight to pickles auctions, where the insurance company is going to assess it, I still have the first option to buy it back, but I dont know how much I have to pay to get it back yet.

The motor still looks good, but I think the gearbox actually got pushed back. It also has garrett gt2860's on it, and the enkei rims are still ok.

Depending on your own mechanical knowledge it might be worth trying to get someone to have a look over it for you who would know what is undamaged and reusable before buying it back.

Really glad that no one was hurt but damn! I feel for you mate. Good luck!

Even if YOU dont buy it back, you may find someone on here willing to pay the to buy it as is. They would need to get the cash to you quickly, but when the insurance company offer you the wreck you dont have to give them an answer that day.

(My guess is the wreck will cost you $7000)

can i ask what speed you was doing just curious cause you got alot of damage and you still have the front reo bar,i've seen a few skylines around with NO reo bar(big fmic)

wonder if the reo bar helped save your engine.

EDIT:just trying to guage how fast in a skyline causes X amount of damage.

    • Hi. This is just my curiosity because iam sure the tuner figure something out...but either way i want to ask. The "problem" is that the Nistune ECU (Stagea FW and RB25DET NEO from Stagea) sees many times the speed than the speedo does(he says the speedo show 120 km/h - correct speed and the ECU shows like 510km/h ) I told him that this car/tranny getting speed from rear diff. If iam not mistaken the RB25DET NEO "need" to see tranny speed sensor? (my tranny has the plug for it). So couple of "question" If he connects/wire the speed sensor to the tranny...are the signals gonna intervene and if...what if he disconnects the rear diff one and the speedo stops working? Or the "new" sensor from the tranny "take over" and will not going need the one from diff? As i said i know he figure/get that done...iam just curious to know what are the solutions 🙂 
    • Your IACV is set to idle too low. You need to adjust it via the screw Duncan mentioned. From memory it should be 650rpm with the valve electrics unplugged. What is it trying to idle at with the IACV plugged in?
    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
