ok so i was driving down beach rd last night to pick up my g/f after work (10:30pm)

as i were passing the bp in elwood some drug f**ked idiot in a wrx was leaning out of the back window trying to grab at my car.

he had his whole upper body and both arms out of the car.

i swerved to the right a little to miss him (driving at about 30kph) and obviously i am looking in his direction.

at the same time some other f**kwit has got in the middle of both lanes about 3 cars in front of me and slammed on his breaks to stop both lanes of traffic so everyone can watch him drop a burnout.

the x5 in front of me hit the anchors and i went under him! :P

with all the sand on the road my car just slid, there is not evena skidmark although the brakes were locked...

damage to x5 - scrach on bumper and ding in panel under bumper

damage to the skyline - busted frontbar (f/g 400r), headlight, bonnet, front right quater, radiator, rad support, washer bottle, reo bar and that's all i could see as i cant open the bonnet at this stage.

as far as i can tell anything structural or suspension was untouched.

the motor is fine aswell as the car was so high (and mine so low) that it just slid underneath untouched

the car got towed to spencer panels and shannons are looking after it now...

just gotta prey its not a writeoff :P

cross your fingers for me

Damn that's bad luck right there - I would've been furious and started tearing heads off those fckwits! I was there lest night, i think i left at 10:30 from the car park where waterfront restaurant is. Too many idiots there for my liking.

Gutted for ya.

Did you get much trouble from the police or anything (did they even turn up)? I remember when my mate stacked his 33 due to negligence and nothing more the cops gave him the hardest time about it. Breath test, drug test, a million and one questions, etc. In the end he was charged with careless driving, which I suppose is true but if it had been a mum in a Honda Odyssey or something they would've just let her go.

Anyway, sorry to hear about your car.

Sorry to hear.

Did you get photos of the sand on the road as this may help if they try to get you for neg driving, i dropped my bike once at a round about because of a diesel spill, the bike slid and hit a car, cops were called, i got booked for neg driving, cop said it was speed and dangerous driving even though he wasn't there when it happened, the guy i hit was cool and took lots of photos at the scene and also wrote a statement stating what he saw, went to court and got fine dropped because you could clearly see the dieso on the road. Might even help keep your no claim bonus as the fault was not really yours as others instigated the accident.

I now always have a camera in my car.

Sorry to hear that mate. Such an awesome looking car too.

It really blows in these situations where idiots on the road can cause you to be in an accident but it ends up being your fault as you hit the other driver from behind. I was caught in a similar situation with my das old car when I first started driving. Really sucks.

cops weren't anywhere to be seen... so no charges...

i'm just so f**king gutted atm... it took 2 years and a lot of money to get that car to where it was... :D

the worst part is waiting for the assessor to get back to me on whether they are going to repair the car or not...

Man that is horrible,such bad timing for those events to occur, very sorry to hear.

hope she can atleast be repaired. But the main thing is you and your gf are ok.

i mean its bad enough having a username as long as yours and now this!

gl with it mate.

Nexus man sorry to hear bout this one!! I really wanted to go for a cruise with ya soon too. Maybe you can ride shotgun in the R with me?

Did you chase that drugger down and rip him out the car by his nutsack? I woud have been red eyed running down the road at TOP speed after that C-Bomb!

Side note, I think my old neighbour is the manager of Spencer Panels, I will ring and find out if you like. Might come in handy, might not but if he is it can't hurt as he was a top bloke.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
