Don't think I'd manage an R34GTR for the agreed value, and I don't think I'd want an R32 or G33 GTR (no offense to those who have them).

As for parts, yeah - the nismo lmgt4 rims, my stereo gear/carpc, GTR MFD, shift-i shift light, cooling plate, are the main things I want to rip. Just put RDA brake rotors on too, can't really pull those out though...

Probably not with the agreed value but add some cash from your hopefully sucessful compo claim and you'll be ridin dirty in no time...

Evo 8 MR!

That sucks though Jenna, I'd hate to have my car written off. So many man hours and dramas in getting it sorted (still not done yet) and putting the hard yards in at work to buy parts only for that to go down the drain because of someones elses error would suck. Oh well like Martin said, start the process again!

yeah +1, consolation prize is another lancer off the roads.

= culprit

LOL Damo.........Sam maybe looking for a new fella in her life when you go missing off a prawn trawler at Coffin Bay :nyaanyaa:

Jenna, that's a fairly big rear ender.

A hit like that usually always ends up with some form of injury.......I've looked at people on CTP claims with a fraction of the damage that you've incurred.

If the other driver is insured and you can deal with him in a civil manner, I'd only be reporting it to your Ins company.......DON'T put in a claim yet as you'll affect your future premiums and get lumbered with an excess bill while they handle it for you.

Different story if he plays hardball but even if he does, I'm happy to offer you a letter with my company's letterhead that may carry a bit of weight with the "Lancer-Boy"

Time to buy a nice new EVO X.....I know where there's a cheap one :whistling:

They're a weapon straight out of the box with heated leather Recaros for added flavour :yes:

I wonder if the other guy was on drugs/drink... Were police called and was he breathalyzed/swabbed?

If he tests positive to anything he has no legal grounding to stand on

-D

yeh amazing how many ppl drive without paying attention.

a crash at 60kmph can kill, driving is dangerous and needs to be treated with maximum care/effort

spotted a yellow stagea yesterday, looks like a work car for ash hobson (classic performance, hackham)

sad to hear about the accident.

im always around there. your actually safer to do 60 as generally noone slows down.

they are all sick of the road works and its only gunna get worse.

that many ppl pull out infront of me while im drivin the semi.

even had someone nearly drive into the side of me and try to force me off the road in a yaris

hello dickhead im in a semi im not goin to move and then abused me cause i was sitting beside his door following other traffic

deffinatly written off. sorry to say.

just next time build it bigger and better.

also seen RBT 032 earlier.

looks like u may need to adjust your sus as you were so close to being sideways comin onto pt waikfield rd off of cavan tonight when u changed lanes.

and for others he was not speeding as he was following general flow of traffic

the car almost looks like you have welded your struts so they dont move at all whilst driving in a straight line going over lil bumps.

Spotted black R34 plates RB26 at supercheap auto Darlington b4 at 1230pm

Oh yeah spotted , gettin my car ready for the cruise to sydney and victoria . Show these girls a thing or two !!!!!!!

Yep people that dont work with or around trucks just dont understand alot, today I was pulling out of Athol st, Athol Park onto Hanson RD turning left in a semi and as I came up to Hanson rd spotted a b-double wanting to turn onto my rd, of course gave him plenty of room to turn but alas an old man in a hyundai or some shit in front of me sat right at the end of the rd and old mate in the b-double had to stop half way round the corner (coz he woulda taken out old man if he didnt) then the old guy didnt even seem to notice it took me to beep the horn about 15-20 seconds later for him to look IN FRONT OF HIMSELF and realise the truck wasnt gonna make it round the corner unless he reversed, luckily Id left about 3-4 car lengths between myself and him so he had plenty of room to back it up, THEN I proceeded to the end of said road and 2 trucks to my left (im turning right) stop and wave me out (maybe stationary for 5 secs max) as I take off a PEDESTRIAN that has walked CLOSELY IN FRONT of my truck (MAJOR BLIND SPOT) pops out on my right and I had not seen him at all, lucky for him and me as I probably wouldnt have even noticed unless he screamed load enough and then the conclusion, I used some of the turning lane on the opposite side of the road to clear my trailer from the curb, power pole etc and then I SPOTTED A YELLOW R33 GTR in the turning lane, who by the way left me plenty of room good work if your on the forum mate, appreciate it.

Rickr333 I know exactly what you mean, driving a heavy vehicle requires a person to have great patience, planning, and observational skills. Every input is timed and precise, yet other road users who are driving much smaller, lighter and more maneuverable vehicles are completely oblivious to you or display erratic, dangerous driving behavior in order to avoid or get infront of the big scary truck/crane etc.

More importantly Jenna it is certainly a great shame concerning your mishap but the most important thing is you are alive. If I had to make the choice I would trade any car for my well being. Obviously we all hope you find yourself a nice new means of transport and don't have too many issues regarding the nastys of a collision :D

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
