Ouch... I hate that kinda Sh*t!  

I was going to ask why you didnt give chase but having read the damage list I understand! Do you remember anything of mention about the ute? Something we can look out for?

Yeah its undriveable, the front drivers side wheel basically wont turn and was dragged on to the tow truck. Otherwise I wouldve chased.

Was a white hilux ute with a flat tray, thats about all I can remember, wasnt really taking much notice of it until i saw something come off the back and go kablamo under my car.

A thankyou goes out to the people who stopped (who will never read this probably), especially to the guy in the white r33 gtst whod just filled up at calwell servo :(

EDIT: Oh and a big thankyou to ewen too for coming and keeping me company while waiting for the tow truck, help me remove the front bar and driving me home :D

At least I have an excuse to get some new wheels now...

That's tough luck, i feel for ya mate! Hope it gets back on the road soon, but at least you know it's in good hands.

Anyways, had a guy talk to me in bunnings car park while i was waiting for the turbo timer to flick off, asking some questions about Skylines and buying one. I pointed him towards the forums so he might come on some time.

haha yeah you hated those 3spokes. would've looked pretty good on mine... just think, you could've destroyed r33 gtr wheels had we ever done the swap! go some te37s i tell you!!!!! 18x9.5 in that new gunmetal limited ed. colour. and your front bar was a bit munted anyway so thats no great loss... your exhaust wasn't really "exhaust" as much as "pipe". you never really washed your car so a bit of a panel gap won't matter and i've heard that gtr brembro's aren't as good as AP 6spots....

(lol sorry just trying to inject some humor into the fux0red situation...)

seriously, giz a bell if you need a hand with anything. i work around the corner from you if you need a ride anywhere and if i can help with the beastie, just sing out dude.

Haha thanks for the offers. Cars at Ed's and I should have a total of the damage and what needs replacing today, front calliper has taken a fair hit so yeah, looking at upgrading :rofl:

Also should have wheels and front bar this weekend if everything goes to plan... no they dont say "rays" on them anywhere, but they should look good in my opinion... front bar is also subtly different, looks alot better in my opinion too :P

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
