Lime green R34 with black decals on the side in a big stack on Princes Hwy near Blackburn Rd around 12:30 today, hope no-one was hurt. Looked like it rammed into a ute or something in the service lane (34 was facing oncoming traffic in service lane), not sure what happened there. Police on scene.

Lots of accidents today, think I heard the one Charles89 was talking about earlier, could see the cops racing to that one this morning.

Not many people paying attention or driving to the conditions today, saw another big accident involving two trucks in Dandenong earlier too. Would hate to be a traffic cop on a day like today!

That would be me mate! Yeh i am counting my lucky stars i am still here....been throwing up recently and having dizzy spells and slight black outs...banged up leg too, might head to the hospital soon....All i really remember was driving next to a blue truck and the next thing i know he starts indicating into the middle lane (from right) i beeped him and sped up as i was next to him (door to door) but by that time he probably would have clipped the back of my car so i slammed the brakes and pulled into the left lane and in a panic didn't check the left lane which also had a car in it....so was stuck in the middle lane the whole time flat on the brake (6 piston 355mm rotor Project Mu's which locked up for the first time) so i was practically now aqua planning while slowling slightly, the back corner of the truck pretty much clipped the front right fender which sent me into a 360 degree spin over the gutter got a bit of air going and mid air went straight into the Ute and stopped once it slammed into the X trail in front of it....

With the driving skills i have and being able to drive in wet conditions well and with the 275 brand new khumo's on the back etc i was still not able to keep the car from aqua planning...hand brake did nothing once the car was spinning i pretty much remember closing my eyes and thinking i was going to fkn die thanks to a stupid careless F@#$ who shouldn't be in the right lane to begin with...and the next thing i know i was outside the car with police....not a scratch on me, but as soon as i went for a quick sleep later after being asked 1000 times to get an ambulance i finally realised that i feel like someone has bashed me in my sleep....i feel nauseated and screwed now than i did when i walked out of the car....airbags didn't even deploy either and whacked my head on the wheel and side of door pretty hard....

Just happy to be alive atm and suprised at all the attention it has gotten and people who liked the car :) Thanks for all your concerns and well wishes, it means alot.

shocking story mate, hope you pull up alright, car accidents happen in a blink of an eye. take it easy.

Keep spotting JNRZAN around Reservoir/Northern Subs.

Also spotted a bomby dark coloured S15 on Albert St Preston with such bad alignment the car looks like its "crab walking" - maybe bad drift damage??? But gosh it looks funny.

Yeah i live in ressa and dont leave the area that much hahaha

Glad to hear you're OK. Not much you could of done, I suppose you can look at it this way; it could of been much worse. Once you get insurance sorted, you'll be back on the road in no time :thumbsup: Good luck with everything.

Just relaying what he said on Facebook to people here, because they wanted to know. I don't see a problem with that.

strictly speaking Jeremy, josh's facebook profile is set to private so not just anyone can see it. It really wasn't anybody elses business. And as you can see above, he is able to speak for himself.

One of my family friends hit his head very hard on the playground, got a lump and thought it was fine, 3 days later when he was driving, he didn't know he was swerving side to side and someone reported him to the police, the police arrived to the car immediately, gave him a drug test and a breath test, found nothing. When this happened, he vomited so the police called the ambulance, he was taken to hospital and diagnosed with a brain hemorrhage near the bottom of his brain above the spinal cord. He had brain surgery on him with a high risk of not being about to talk properly after surgery and the chance of dying on the surgery table.

My point:

GET IT CHECKED OUT NOW!!!

Edit:

I think the condition is called a subdural hematoma (i'm a premed student)

^^^ Full on storry. Hope the dopey truckey is tracked down and charged.

Spotted about 10 minutes ago: R33 in the underground Carpark at safeway; moorabbin; south road. Chilling out with a bunch of bogans drinking and carrying on whilst revving the exhausts on their sv6 commodores. as i was heading out they all did standstills and burnouts (the 33 didn't participate but followed) and they filled the Carpark up with smoke and tore off. Man; that area is full of people that are 200 years old. doing burnouts amongst old people getting their grocieries? gah.

Didn't see any SAU stickers. probably not on here.

I wouldn't mind some SAU stickers myself though.

Shocking story :( But at the end of the day you're at alive and a car can be fixed/replaced.

Hope you're on the mend soon :)

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
