Thanks for all the support fellas you guys are legends - there's no way that I could replace the car with anything but another Skyline. I was thinking about it all last night - I really should be angrier at the other driver, after all he did almost kill me "not noticing" the lights were Red. But, he'll pay for his mistakes in one way or the other - he had about 6 cops talking to him and only one talking to me. Doesn't that kind of behaviour get in to careless driving charges? Anyway, we're all OK and thats the main thing. Accidents happen. Time to move on...

that was such a mint car... has the insurance company told you yet if its a writeoff or if they'll give you the $$ to fix it? I dunno if it'll be quite the same if you fix it.

I want it to be a write-off, I don't believe it can be repaired to same standard (which was immaculate). I've added a couple more photos - what do you guys think? The roof has buckled in parts.

Also, on the current policy it's insured for 23k, on the renewal next month it's only 18k so it's just the right time. :D

Wow, just looked at the rest of the pics! Yeah 100%. If they don't write it of I'm monkey's uncle :D Just out of curiosity, who are you insured with? Is it agreed or market value? I got $28k market for mine after a lot of fighting. If u need any help let me know.

Justcar, Market Value I think. I should find out today.

Sorry to hear Greg.

I drove from Chadstone to Deer Park last night and saw no less than 8 accidents along the way - heaps of bad driving during the rain, some people should not have a licence if they can't drive in the wet, perhaps the basic licence test should include a SkidPan day?

Good luck with getting T2500 [or similar] on the road :D

Edit, actually the first crash was 2 streets away from my house - chadstone rd, chad shop cntr entrance intersection, a Mirage pointing in the wrong direction with the front half of the car mangled similar to yours...

What is it with people and accidents lately!

Eveyone is getting into prangs!

skylines are cursed melbourne wide I reckon! My mate who bought a 33GTR recently ran up the back of a taxi (nothing to do with speed, etc).. he'd only had it for a month!

p.s. while i'm here, time to hurl abuse from afar: good to see summer is kicking on well for you guys :D

    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
