anyone we know???

Yepp, unfortunately it was me. :D

Everyone is OK, nobody was hurt etc, but it was a pretty hard hit. I've had a smash repair place around to have a look at my car today and it looks like a very close right off, but without pulling it to bits it's a bit hard to tell.

Basically guys, I checked for traffic twice, but I should've checked three times. Not good, not good at all. I still feel sick in the stomach for all the hassles that I've put the other person through. If you talk to any of my friends they will tell you that I am the safest driver out of all my friends, but it just goes to show that accidents can happen to anyone.

I'm finding it a bit hard to find a panel shop to fix the car (if it's not written off), does anyone have any ideas? The fella's that were around this morning were from Custom Kolours who do all the work for Fast and the Furious, as well as a heap of work for the Summer Nats cars.

So far I've phoned Tony Farrugia, Grace, and Edwards.

I'm so pi$$ed off with myself....

It happens to all of us mate, my condolences go out to you. Ive had almost a similar thing happen to me, so yeah as said it happens to all of us.

Barret Bros in Fyshwick are reasonably good panel beaters, along with David Smash Repairs out in Queanbeyan (have had experiance with both in previous/families cars).

Thanks Amaru.

Looks like the insurance company is arranging for an asessor to come out to my house where the car is to see if it's written off or worth repairing. Not sure when they are due out (the smash repair place passed this info on) so I'll just wait for a call.

I'd say there's around $15k worth of damage there :)

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
