At a good guess, id say tired driver...

Jumped off a plane, maybe a long flight and drifted (in a slow manner not a side ways manner) off the road at 100kph...

The marks in the grass look like it was a pretty straight hit, must woke up at the last sec and tried to brake and turn...

Must be bad luck day for Skylines. I had an accident this morning at about 06h50 in my white R33. Don't know exactly how it happened, but i know it happened very quickly.

Went into a left turn, i remember sun in my eyes, hitting the curb, missing a lamp pole and burying my car in the ditch on the side of the road. Nice and neatly out of the way of traffic. I crapped myself, now car at insurers yard for asessment.

I saw that last night, was thinkin, as if you'd park there...probably stolen, then driving past it, saw the front guard in a bad way. Bummer.

HI everyone. Does anyone know the percentage value for when insurance decide to write off your car? I am a bit concerned that i might not get my baby back at all. Shes a bit smashed up, insurance agreed value was low so i think they might write it off.

Thanks Dan

Yeah i'm with JustCars. Waiting for the call Monday. It's really agonizing, i know they are doing the best, i just want to know.

I always thought that if the (quote of) the cost of repair is more expensive than the estimated value of the car then it is written off... I didn't know there were percentages involved...

does anyone know for certain?

    • I am going to chime in here and say that is very bad advice for a built motor, making decent power of 400kW+ Especially if the rings have been gapped on the looser side. The more power you make the heavier you need your oil to be to be able to maintain that suspension between the moving parts, if not you'll have journals and bearings making love and grenade a motor. Remember that all moving parts inside the motor aren't ball bearing and are journal bearings and require oil to separate the surfaces from contacting.
    • Yeah I noticed this just now. No doubt she will be running smoother next start😂🤣😂
    • ENR34 manual transmission transfer cases are 33100-23U00 which is shared with all of the R32/R33 GT-Rs and GTS-4s. And the C34 Stagea. Do not bother with automatics, that is a huge effort to swap and the car will be worse for it. And an automatic transfer case does not have the right housing for the shifter which comes out the back of the transmission and goes through the transfer case. I already posted my response on reddit but if you didn't see it there here it is: You have almost certainly damaged the transfer case, the only question is how badly. Nobody can tell you how bad without more information. If you have a giant hole in the transfer case pissing out all the transfer case fluid then you need a new one. If it's not that bad then the only question is whether you burned up the clutches. Drain the transfer case oil and inspect for metal on the drain plug magnet. Small black filings are normal. Big chunks of metal or a ton of black fuzzies not so much. Fluid should be nice and red. Any other color isn't great. If the color is reasonably red and there's not a bunch of clutch material discoloring it or anything like that you probably got away with insubstantial excess wear not worth trying to fix. If you have to rebuild or replace the transfer case keep in mind you have to pull the transmission to get it off.
    • As promised………… the first start. Rough and a few bugs to work out. Still she lives att.1cnTUvrWxiOZUFbg0S43m1VFUdDhxGBq3UU53bvtkww.mp4
    • Can I suggest a 15W50 oil is too heavy. Its a brand new engine - you should be able to run something like a 10W30. Shove some steel wool into your catch can  - more technically "oil/air separator" - so that the oil vapour has something to condense on.
