Was in Campbelfield going to work, turned into the street across from Maccas. The car just kicked out in the wet, I started to steer right but it just kept going left and into the pole outside the truck rental joint

f**kin extremely pissed!! The guys at Maccas in their Skylines were very helpful, but either way -- FML!!

If any of you guys that were there in your Skylines and saw it happen, could you PLEASE PM me your number? I may need it as a witness thing. Thanks for your help again fellas

ahh so you were the dude Muztek was talking about in members thread, they were there for the mt macedon run.

i know the roads were quite wet this mornin but how did it just spin out....sure you didn't clutch kick or give it a bit?

Yeah unfortunately it was me. Na I didn't do anything out of the usual man. I found there was diesel on the roads from the truck rental place outside. Can you link me to the thread they mentioned it? I'm on my iPhone and not too farmiliar with SAU. I wouldn't mind a witness or two

hey man i was there, we saw a cop car coming as we were leaving n i said to my mate..bet ya there going to that s15. if youd like i can witness for ya, i was the guy with the red hat on

I wanted a witness because the cops said "someone called and said you were doing burnout's" when u clearly wasn't. To the common person, the sound of tires screeching because the car has lost control will sound like a burnout. The guys in their skylines would have seen most of it take place and can verify that too, which would be an awesome help if need be

muztek can you pm your mobile number JUST in case they want a witness? Thanks again

Shame about the car mate but sorry I don't believe your story on how it happened. I'm thinking you saw a whole bunch of skylines and wanted to show off and it went really wrong. I'm sorry but a car just doesn't "kick out" without you making it.

This is what I think. I wasn't there and didn't see anything. Just thought I would make it clear just incase the fuzz get a read

COMP insurance at least?

You're certainly needing someone to witness that you weren't intentionally losing traction but...

as Peter asked above ^^^, do you have comprehensive insurance as well (for your car)?

from what i read in the members thread aint no accident.. :P

I'd say it was a crash.

And I'd also say that anyone willing to lie to the po-po to try and save the OPs bacon is a madman.

Sorry OP, nothing personal but I've been thru the ringer with the coppers many times and know how they operate. Anyone trying to help you will get taken down too.

Shouldn't matter, as long as you have comp and everythings set straight paperwork wise the car should be insured for this kind of thing. If you don't have comp... well it doesn't really matter how it happened, the car's gone.

Sure a car doesn't just jump into a pole from driving normally... but everyones showed off before and slipped, I know I have, fortunately there wasn't a pole in the way.

In stead of deciding if you're a good driver, a liar or not, I am so sorry that you have lost your S15. I f**king wept when my car was scratched on the front bumper in the drive way. I can't imagine how hard it would be and disappointed I would be in myself if I wrote my car off.

I hope everything works out!

Thanks for the support (sarcasm). To the guys that weren't there, please don't comment and give your bullshit insight. To those that were there, thanks for your real support as you would have noticed that I didn't overrev, try drifting, continue with the car while it was swinging out. One of the local workers in the area came to me as I was waiting to get picked up, and advised me that there is diesel on the road outside the truck-rental place and told me to take a photo of it. The police were pretty cool after I explained to them what happened and they said they won't bother with the court thing because of how it happened. I also didn't see the Skylines on the left until after I got out the car and saw a pack of guys running towards me.

On a side note to some of you clowns: When somebody's family member dies, would you say to them "I never liked him/her anyway?"

ps... erm.. I know this might be too early but I checked out your link for the sale and your rims are really nice... just putting it out there if you want to get rid of them (if they're still in good nick of course).

    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
    • Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number. 
    • Hey guys, looking for these side skirts if anyone can help me out. 
    • Wife and I are still looking for a new home. One condition was a large enough garage for a full-size lift in one bay. Now if only we could find something... We've been looking for almost a year now.
    • Thanks everyone for the ideas! Sadly, ramps are a no go for me. With young kids at home, I do most of my work late at night while they're sleeping. Starting the car multiple times wouldn't be a great idea.  I'll go see one of those new long reach low profile jacks and take a couple measurements to see if they will fit.
