As the title says, my 1996 ECR33 has been laid to rest.

2 Weeks ago last night i was driving down Kilkenny road when i was cut off by a car speeding out of a side street, i beeped the horn and swerved around the car and as i did so noticed it was packed to the roof with indigenous looking men.

Thinking nothing of it i went and returned DVD's to the video shop further up the road. As i walked out and got back into my car and began to drive away, from what i could tell the same car pulled out behind me, and out got 1 guy who pelted a rock straight into my back window. Left a big dent and a massive crack. I stopped the car and began to get out when the entire car jumped out and began running at me and throwing more rocks at the car, so naturally i thought better get the f*** outta there!

So i took off down the street and had the car behind me chase me up the road for a couple of hundred metres untill they turned off. I then pulled over and checked my rear window, cracked and dented, nothing serious.

Got back in the car and drove up the road, doing 60-65km/h when from what i could tell the same car pulled out infront of me and stopped dead n the middle of a intersection. Instead of hitting the car straight on, i swerved just missing it, most definately saving the passengers life. I then collided with a massive wall, signs, rocks and mounted the car up on a gutter.

The car then sped off and was not seen again.

The damage from what i could see at the time was;

FMIC - buggered along with the front bar, front right fender, front right door, both sideskirts, complete exhaust, rear bar, all 4 rims buggered etc.

Anyway, after 2 weeks of police reports, insurance claims etc...today the car was finally declared a write off. with the damage bill EXCEEDING $18,000 with extensive damage under the car, to the entire suspension assembly & chassis. Over a week off work and a trip to melbourne with my friends & gf did me good.

Unfortunately though, because the other car sped off, the insurance company is hungry for their Excess of $2000, im left to pay that aswell. The police have been in contact with me explaining that they have quite possibly apprehended the occupants of the other car late last Saturday. Co-insidently being at the end of my street where a high speed chase had ended. They are also under investigation at the moment for robbing & bashing a lady on kilkenny road shortly before my accident, and damage to numerous, cars, houses and businesses.

I collected my belonging from her today and replaced the good alpine stereo with a cheap & nasty crim converters special. It has been sad to see her go the way id did, but hey thats life, took me for an awesome ride, and i never once regret buying her!

As for my next car, im most definatley and 100% heading towards either a Series 3 R33 GTR in silver or white or a Stagea!!!

Check the For Sale Thread if you need any stock parts from an R33 GTS-T, which i am selling.

easy on the racism dude.

That does suck man, guess the best thing to come out of it was that you werent seriously hurt. Any chance of hitting up the victims of crime to help pay the excess on insurance or something like that?

Thanks guys,

i can sue them for all their worth, which im sure isn't much. But before i can do that i need proof that it was actually them in the area. The police asked that if they can prove that it was the same guys who went on their rampage in woodville to be the same guys as they arrested, then if i was willing to press charges!

naturally i said hell yes.

Oh...and to top it off. This is the thing that gets me.

Because when i told the police officer that when i took off from these thugs, i did 70-80kmph to get away just untill they had pulled off the street, he though that i hadnt been punished enough loosing my pride & joy, so coinsidently handed me out a expiation notice for admitting to speeding, which apparently is just as good as being caught in the act.

ofcourse that is bullshit, and since my mum is a lawyer ill be getting her assistance in appealing the fine.

man thats pretty messed up

hopefully you can get the victims of crime stuff but i think that dosnt cover lost property only theoropy kind of stuff. but hey the theoropist could be hot so still worth checking out :down: or trying to claim you use the car as theoropy to get through your problems :D

and yeah take it easy on the racist stuff, wankers come in all different nationality's they should run an olympics for em or something events like the car theft and random attack on strangers

That makes me so f*kn mad, was the 'gang of 49' mentioned at all? Would have been a fairly hectic couple of minutes thats for sure. I would be devastated, sad to see such a nice car get innocently damaged. At least you weren't hurt tho. Best of luck with your next car.

Thats a bugger.. I was speaking to a bloke down at Z-imports before they closed.

He was telling me how ~1year ago or so he had a couple of ethnic dark looking blokes decide they were going to start ramming him for no reason. He managed to get to the police station where they took off and left him but without one last hard ram that bent rear control arms etc..

:(

Apparently the same bloke had a mate that it occurred to up north except the bloke was beat up and car fairly damaged as well.

No doubt stolen cars that they think hey lets ram this prick.

Instead of hitting the car straight on, i swerved just missing it, most definately saving the passengers life. I then collided with a massive wall, signs, rocks and mounted the car up on a gutter.

Should've hit them and that would've been justice.....now they'll just do it again.

Everytime these buggers do this stuff they get braver & braver & think they're invincible.

Good to hear you're OK though.....cars can always be replaced.

You'll get off bud.......you feared for your life and weren't thinking rationally or responsibly

That is quite unbelievable. And I bet even if it is those that were caught, they will be let off with little more than a slap on the wrist and do it again.

Seriously, it is going to get to the stage of vigilanteism sooner or later. It does not bode well for the future, anyhow.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
