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

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?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
