last night at Marden SA some moron in an old lancer decided he would turn right in front of me.

Resulting in this:

I have small cuts up my arm and lungs full of airbag smoke, but otherwise Okay.

let us all pray to the Crash Assessor gods that its not a write off...

Sorry to hear about that mate, as long as you are okay thats the main thing.

if its mainly front end damage hopefully the reobar and radiator/cooler took most of the brunt.... front enders always look pretty nasty

engine was still running after the airbags went off....

radiator is sitting against the oil pump, and the passenger door wont open, only cos of the guard. pretty sure the rear passenger door still opens too. I'm going to try and get access to it to take some more photos today

Its insured for $30k, so we'll see what happens

Was travelling towards the city on Payneham road, in the middle lane, when the Lancer heading East turned right from Payneham road onto Portrush road, right in front of my car. I was already braking, doing about 50km/h. He hesitated then for some reason tried to make it. I hit the brakes ASAP, but even Brembo's cant pull up a 1800kilo wagon in <10 metres.

BANG.

Its was definitely not my fault.

I've had my crash repair mates look at it, sounds like its gonna be a write off.

Does anyone know where I can get a front cut from an RS4 or 260RS?

I don't want offers on parts either at this stage, so please refrain.

Got monday off to deal with everything:

Ouch, looks bad mate. As Steve said, it's pretty similar to my crash. Motor was still running afterwards as well. You might get lucky and they will repair it, however I'm not sure I'd want it back after such a big hit. The good news however is you are all ok, cars can be replaced, people can't :)

Aw shit ... that bites the big one! :( Not a 260!!! :D

I hope its repairable dude. If its an economic write off, buy it back (cheap) and repair it yourself (via your crash repair mates).

If they do write it off, please PM me. Would like to discuss with you.

      gauge needle removal

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task

      Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
