Last night A ford falcon ute with an aluminum tray back and some form of signwriting down the tray reversed into my r32 gtr in Gymea Bay (Sutherland Shire, Sydney, NSW), they nearly killed my best mate in the passenger seat and have written off and destroyed my car. While the general assumption is skyline= stupid behaviour, this was not the case and I, as well as the police officers who attended the scene maintain that i was driving safely.

They reversed and t-boned me as i was passing by and then drove off before i could get their rego details, as the resulting slide and my mate bleeding profusely from the head was keeping me busy.

If anyone knows or has seen a white AU or BA Ford Falcon ute with an aluminum tray back, with smashed tail lights and a few dents in the back, in or around the Sutherland Shire, could you please take note of their number plate and pass it on to me. It would be much appreciated and would be a massive help.

Thankyou.

Nick.

that's terrible man, but in all honesty in these situations the best help is a police officer - i'd also perhaps contact a few panel n paint shops around the area?

tradies look after tradies usually but you never know - but with any luck the police will be able to find this prick, i hope your friend is ok...

if you are joking it is in pretty poor taste, and your from Melbourne so it seems unlikely you would know who it is. If it is not a joke and you actually do know the person responsible, please tell them that if they come to me before the cops find them i have no intention of pressing the hit and run and associated charges, i don't care if he was drunk, im not going to beat him up or anything, i just want my car to be fixed.

EDIT: After a PM user luckieee has said he was lying. Thanks heaps chief. Anyone out there seen this guys ute?

I'm in the shire so I'll keep an eye out. BTW, have you looked into the location of where the ute backed out from ? If it was from a house or shop maybe the cops can go in and ask some questions there. Unfortunately, what you've described is one of many possibilities on the road at the moment. Hope your mate's OK.

it was a public park unfortunately, i have been walking around the area as much as i can and might stake the park out next week. My mate is doing a lot better, im just happy he wasn't an inch taller or he would have a pretty jagged piece metal in his melon.

Local panel beaters, car spares shops (repco and supercheap) and wreckers have been asked to take the rego of anyone requesting a tail light for a falcon trayback, im hopeful but my chances aren't great.

I guess i will start looking at either parting out the car or selling it as a whole, its only body damage, the wheels weren't impacted and the engine is fine, just a nasty gouge in the passenger fender, completely smashed door and a good chunk of roof and the sides.

Thanks for keeping your eyes open and the positive comments guys, i hope luckieee wises up but he probably won't.

Hit me with a pm if you see any bent tray back utes and get their regos.

Nick.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
