Holy shit where was this

Corner of the Northern Rd and the turnoff from the M4 at Penrith. I passed it this morning on the way to work and went 'Ow'.

What time were the pics taken?

Spotted R33 series 2... not looking too healthy at all.

Note the front bumper in the grass at the back...

I feel sorry for you mate.

I'm hoping the driver is OK. If you're on the forum, my commiserations, mate.

Re. Unhappy 33

i passed the car at about 11am. i have a feeling that the driver rear-ended the car in front while trying to merge, didn't even stay long enough to see if the airbags went off, took a couple of shots and left.

i just hope he moved the car yesterday and it didn't get raped overnight.

The general rule is any damage on the front of the vehicle is your fault, side and rear damage is someone else fault. tell me if i am wrong. Thats why i feel sorry for him/her, at fault accidents suck...

i had a taxi T-bone me and it took just under 2 years to get it resolved. Good outcome though.

Yes, all other things being equal, that what the insurance companies normally assume. But not always.

My old family car was totalled some years ago on the Great Western Highway in the Lower Blue Mountains. I was heading east in the AM rain and a silly old bugger (not ageism: he really was!) lost patience, and simply tried to get across the highway from the Give Way sign on the left by closing his eyes and accelerating. Right across the front of me. Of course I hit him amidships with my nose. (Though only at about 10-20ks after some serious braking).

About four people stopped immediately to offer me their phone numbers or wait for the cops, though. So there was never any doubt about what really happened. And the annoying old bugger went on a neg driving charge (still blaming me all the way!).

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
