That'd be the accident on Kent Ave, Croydon? I remember that, it was absolutely tragic :( 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.

yes it was.. fortunately the passenger, another mate of mine survived. yes that blind corner is pretty bad. i was at the pole putting flowers up a few days later and while at the pole could just tell by the way cars were taking that bend that it isnt the best stretch to go down.

i now drive like an old grandpa in the wet :bunny:

please take care on the wet roads guys ;)

Thats if it isn't a write off, in a way it would be better to be.

edit: So you n Matt taking me and my gf to midnight cruise or what? :woot:

ahaha nah man, i aint going to the midnight cruise - 5 hours is too long for a drive for me.....

Well i got called up today by just car (they have been really helpful btw) and they told me the car is a write off and the accessor will call me tomorrow to organize payments and stuff i guess.

Written off...geez, If that was an old Valiant or similar you'd get out the black texta, write "ouch" on it and keep driving. Damn mono-coque chassis/shells, they save weight but the can't take a 15kph tap.

Don't forget....quality tyres before anything else, no point in having a nice car that won't turn in wet/greasy conditions.

get a r34 4 door. sorry to hear man. driving in the rain can be scary.the thing i always do is if the road has a overtaking lane go into that because the water runs off them so the right lane will be better with no puddles and a safer drive. thank god i have good tyres i have pirellis (i think thats how you spell it). at least your fine thats the main thing cause cars can be replaced and people cant.

Dude that sucks, hope you get is sorted soon.

My R34 GTR was written off coz some scum people broke into it and damaged it beyond belief

-Brad

Geez! That's exactly what I'm scared of. For a 34 GTR to be a write-off.... they must have done like 60k damage without even starting the engine. What did they do? Burn it?

    • He has an aftermarket hanger, it just sounds like your setup is much better then his.  It doesn't sound crazy at all to me, to install an aftermarket hanger and end up backwards compared to the factory setup.  Have a look at the tiny sock/filter/pickup on his fuel pump, surely the factory item is much much longer and I bet, better positioned as well. 
    • Why are people so insistent on making dirty water?!
    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
