my car, destroyed by an evil saab, has gone to the great nismo garage in the sky... sorry no pics yet but will endeavour to have 'em up asap.

i was coming down commercial rd on tuesday at about 6 and went to turn right into porter st. i moved into the intersection and the light went amber. one car raced through and another (the saab) behind it slowed to stop... or so i thought.

i began to turn and *crunch*. the saab basically t-boned me at 50kmh. scared the sh*t out of the gf who was in the passenger seat.

insurance info swapped, companies called, car inspected, determined a write-off and i'm now waiting for a cheque for about $8k (less my excess of course).

off to check out the classifieds...

"i din't get sh*t"

i said i wanted to make a claim and they aksed if i was ok. i said i was callin' from the morgue...

they told me f**k all. i had to ask 'em everything, if i didn't ask they didn't tell. took 3 days from reporting to the car getting towed (was at my place). i had to prompt the guy to ask for the other drivers details.

better not take so long to get my cheque!!!

it arrived with an aftermarket exhaust and the owner put on 15" roh wheels. i didn't do anything to it.

i have seen a few advertised at around 6k though... depressing for all silvia owners huh? sooo glad i had it insured at agreed value or i'd be getting royally screwed now...

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
