Hi all,

As some of you may know, my R33 GTR met the unfortunate end at DECA yesterday, I essentially drove into armco...

I'm wiritng this thread to express my thanks to whoever helped me yesterday.

Paul (paulr33), you're bloody legend! He went greater length to look after me and my brother who rode with me when I 'introduce' the R into armco, he kindly went out of his way to cart us to hospital for check up and dropping us home.

Jack of Citywide Towing, many thanks for coming out on Saturday to tow my R from the crash site to my place, top bloke, willing to go out of his way to help us.

Dave and Hamish, thanks for sticking around at hospital along with Paul when Dermott and I were inside being checked on (and sitting around when they're basically talking to each other).

Thanks to Ryan and Bec, for organising tow truck and checking if we're alright (we walked away from the smash, it wasn't pretty but we're not trapped in the wreck which is a good thing).

Also thanks to whoever came to see if we're ok, also sorry to remaining drivers who didn't get to drive on long wang 2nd run (that is when I crashed), I felt gutted when they had to suspend the run (I believe 10 of them didn't get to do 2nd timing run).

Whoever else that may have help or offer their sympathies etc that I forgot (or can't remember) to mention, I say thanks to you all.

Lastly, I'd like to say thanks to my brother, Dermott who came with me today and unfortunately happened to be my passeneger when I 'demonstrate' my driving skills, and being understanding.

Cheers

Grant

Write off for sure but couple of guys reckon it's fixable...

I won't be fixing it, and I've already recieved a deposit for the wreck.

Yeah I think this GTR is a omen.

:ermm::D:D:O:O:O:O

did this happen towards the beginning of long wang?

dude, so sorry to hear :( glad you guys are alright though, that is definitely something to be thankful for after a motorsport 'incident'

yeah, just make sure everything is ok in the next little bit, you can get delayed reactions to these sort of things

jebus grant glad you both are ok

Thanks.

hey no worries and all part of the service

as long as you guys are OK and no pain etc

how are you feeling this morning? any neck pain etc?

damn those airbags do some damage when they go off

Dermott has bit of cramp on his tummy, his eyes are good now. I felt cramp on my calf but I must have over stretching while I was on my nap last nite. No major pains to report.

Thanks again.

We're all so happy to hear you're both alright. We heard the bang from Mini Wang, stood on the top of the hill and knew it wasn't good.

Thanks, I'm also glad we walked away from the wreck considering how bad it was.

:D:D:O:O:O:O:(

Yep happened after the beginning of long wang clockwise, rear end somewhow stepped out and played 'have you met the armco' game into me!

Thanks, once again, cars are replaceable and lives aren't, that is important thing.

Oh I thought the rb26 may end up in the 32 sedan :ermm:

Great to hear youre both ok.

Haha, 26 won't be in the sedan, I've just sold the wreck (my fastest sale ever) 20 mins ago.

Thanks, I'm also glad both of us are ok.

Take it easy.

Cheers

and i was eyeing off that plenum too.... :D

Why do you want the plenum?

And thanks again for driving me to hospital, pity I don't get to feel what 280rwkw feels like, sorry for taking some of your time from skidpan runs.

So the runs were starting next to the basketball court? Or finishing there?

You're not the first person to meet the scenery down there, such a shame the result is never pretty :ermm:

Clockwise - finish next to basketball court.

Yes, it wasn't pretty but we got out with some bruises - which is a good result considering the outcome.

glad everyone is ok.......good old SAU support =)

Yes, SAU is wonderful club to be part in, helped me twice, gotta give something back...

well it was about the only part of the motor that didn't meet the armco and i have been thinking about chucking one on the 33

sorry to hear/read about that Grant :ermm:

Thanks mate.

So sorry to hear mate :D Glad that you're both doing well after this. I wish you both a speedy recovery.

Thanks and we're recovering well.

well it was about the only part of the motor that didn't meet the armco and i have been thinking about chucking one on the 33

Yeah? And doing ITBs while you're at it?

Glad you are both ok and made it home safely.

Was a shock when I was told ( I was on the skidpan so oblivious to anything out the back)

Thanks Anna.

Sorry to hear about your newly acquire car :D But you guys are ok and that's the most important thing!

Wasn't newly acquired (bought it 12 months ago), yes we're fine which is good thing and my parents who are in UK at the monent, got message saying I'm banned from DECA in future... Parents!

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
