Low tyre Pressure + 2nd Gear around corner = Not good.

Was on my way to Pump tyres up and get fuel as my tyres normally sit around 32-34psi, they were about 26-28 and yea................hit a kerb.

want to try and fix it all in a week as i just went on annual leave....poo :)

on closer inspection, Power steering rod is bent, Zorst dented, skirts have minor cracks wont know fully till i get her on a hoist. :)

Dammnit i was so close to caltex aswell lol.

on the bright side, maybe i can get new skirts...hmmm

Got to find a place to get another rim like that.

shit thats pretty bad. know how you feel man. i hit a kerb like 3 months ago(wet roads and worn out inside edges dont mix) understeered and hit it. put it on the hoist; bend my lower control arm, tyre was rubbing on inner guard and rim is heavily scratched got my lower control arm replaced, got new front tyres and wheel alignment done by brad afterthat. just gotta watch the tyre pressures and depth frequently

Yea lesson learnt, can only hope i didnt bend the chassis :) but it dont look to bad just LHF wheel area is FkD.

It caught me off guard im still not sure if it was because of my tyres or there was something on the road (oil, sand) but either way, take the corners carfully guys.

    • They are, a good friend of mine bought one to replace his blow factory turbo, running a Toshi Tune reflash. Just use their supplied water/oil lines and you're good to go. At the time, they were like $900 delivered.
    • This is an option for 100% bolt on, the GCG high flow -  https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html Also, I'm pretty sure hypergear does a high flow that is 100% bolt on, it just doesn't make as much power as their bigger high flows.  Even if you get a hypergear turbo that requires you to chance the intake piping, it is a really simple modification. It can be as simple as a piece of silicon hose and you pop a filter on the end. It doesn't have to be some crazy pie cut titanium work of art intake pipe.  If you have the ability to swap the turbo yourself, you would be able to sort the intake piping out. 
    • Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.
    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?
