Ha, no sarcasm but words straight out of Kobayashi-san the arsehole boss of MCR's mouth. Although being second hand information, it comes without a warranty and is strictly No Claim No Return. But seriously, that many have crashed and apparently it's due to black box overload. When you start hitting ripple strips whilst applying the brakes or do other crazy maneuvers at high g-loads that pro drivers wouldn't do, the ABS, AYC, ALC, ADG, ARI, AVB and all the other anti fun devices overload and leave you to control an out of control 1700kg missile yourself.

So 10c to the guy who can pick what kind of car is squashing this perfectly good R35 GT-R.

I hope not! all going well i'll give one a little punt next month and I sure wouldn't want to be walking back to the pits after binning that!

because of medieval times the ill smelling umbrella it sends.

Not sure if this is true but was told by my friend in Singapore, the vehicle crashed in Malaysia has been repaired and now for sale

http://www.sgcarmart.com/main/info-Ut8WPi1Aa-1059.html

Apparently it has been 'reconditioned' and selling for 260K SGD...

was told that the vehicle was less than a week old when it was totalled in Malaysia

i wonder if anyone will pay this kind of money for a 'reconditioned' car?

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
