Wait.... weren't going too fast, but downhill on a rainy road... and crashed when you turned. Hmmm

How much does your GF weigh?

Just J/K :P

lol, thats prob the first laugh I have done since, thanks :D

I still can't believe the amount of damage for such a slow hit, I guess it being the corner of the car it pushed things out a fair bit?

Dont know about the dog shit part being smarter that me thats a debatable factor.

But the rest you could possibly be onto something..

but im still interested into your knowledge on crashes... anything possibly tested in the backyard with a billy cart or something?

lets see.....tell me about your crash test?????The only think your missing is the yellow and black targets print on your body....you wouldnt know about making billycarts anyway.....you would have been playing with star wars action figures while i was making stuff for my pw50 race bike :P

Sorry to hear that mate. Really sucks. Been in an accident with my car before, never nice.

Ive actually been in a situation with my old Mazda 323 too. I was cornering and suddenly the rear kicked out. Now this is a 1986 1.6l automatic front wheel drive. I had no idea what to do and the car slid for a bit (probably not a bad drift) but because I overcorrected, ended up spinning it around the other way when it got traction and spinning out. Facing the opposite direction to traffic in the middle of stud road.

Now while I wasn't going slowly, I definately wasnt driving at excessive speeds and definately not taking the turn any faster than I had in the past. The rear just suddenly slid. It left like it slipped on something. Im almost certain there was some oil on the road or something, as for my old car to react that way, it wasn't normal. It gives you one hell of a shock, thats for sure. We just always need to remember that the roads themselves arent always a smooth surface and especially at night on road, it can be impossible to see dangers.

Hopefully it is fixed promptly for you. I had the body work done on my R33 by Imperial Finish Body Works on centre rioad in springvale and they were great. My best mate has used them several times. See Murray there. I let just cars choose the mechanic for repairs, and they chose Carrera Motors in Nunawading. Interesting story there, but thats for another time.

Sorri to hear that mate... Glad that you weren't hurt. One of my best mate died last year when his silvia crashed in to a power pole at low speed (not speeding, or drunk) around a corner in the wet. Just goes to show that you really don't have to be doing anything stupid and stuff like this happens.

damn....now im scared to drive my car in the wet :thumbsup:

Quality > width

Giddyup!

Theres a huge difference between good and bad when it comes to wet weather traction.

Never run cheap fronts...you'll always end up hitting a tree or something similar.

My bro's got cheapo chinese tyres on his commodore and I reckon you could push the car sideways in the wet and it would slide it's rediculous how bad the wet weather traction is.

sorry to hear about the car though that sucks ass, trees should be required to bend more :teehee:

That'd be the accident on Kent Ave, Croydon? I remember that, it was absolutely tragic :teehee: Terrible piece of road in the wet, it was only a matter of time before it happened.

To the thread starter - sorry to hear about your accident but good to hear you're comprehensively insured. It does look like a fair amount of damage.

Sorry to hear that but good to be comp insured i guess because thats a fair bit of a hit you had.

i was driving the other day in the wet! let me say my tyres cost more than my rims =\ and i sliped out at the back doin about 10km/h

i was turning right at a T-intersection and it sliped up hill as i was making the turn doin 10km/h

i own a gts4 so im AWD and i sliped so comes to show anyting will in the wet.

after i was bored spo i walked to where i lost the back (it was about 600meters away from home) and saw on the slope of the road in the rain the roads are so sh!t that its making a mini waterfall of water, think the goverment should have built better roads.

i guess anyone on a sloped road keep this in mind because it was way in the back of my head before i checked it out

cheers, Andrew

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
