Haha they will get over it in due time mate. Atleast you know your parents give a shit about you :P

Indeed there is always someone worse off. And for what it's worth, there's a reason insurance companies don't insure cars on the race track...because cars end up in sidewalls all the time. Just one of the expenses of motorsport, and if the late great Peter Brock can crash then anyone can.

Can't replace the things we love and lost but you can save up and get something better to take your mind off it :(

Take care mate!

Adam,

Yes they'll be over it cos Motorsport injuries aren't same as injuries sustained from playing ball sports.

I'm just happy that I walked away from the crash to be honest.

And have you sent the laynards yet?

Cheers

Grant

And fair enough too :D

No need to post them mate, its no body's business.

No doubt we'll see you in something soon :)

I'm sorry but if you had half a brain you'd lie about it and get a payout.. and if u don't lie about it.. you pretty much don't get paid out, and if u do, its hapened before and all they do is STILL REJECT your claim if they find out.. they will not try and dick you for fraud.. thats my 2 cents.. anyway....... O_O and if you've had a good history.. even the better reason to try.

You do realise insurance fraud is a rather serious criminal offence and punishable by the law, leading to you then having a criminal record.

You then would not be insurable on-top of that among quite a number of other issues

It was done @ a Motosport event, with what - 100 or so people on the grounds...

Possibly the dumbest thing I've seen posted this year mate, its that type of stupid attitude and reasoning that is putting all OUR premiums up.

Ash,

Thanks, I hope I'll pop up to events in future, I'm hoping to make it to Go Kart night in couple weeks time but my parents are arriving home that night hmm...

And please no more debate/dribble about insurance. Motorsport events means you're not INSURED, end of the story.

Cheers

badluck grant, atleast yous are ok. like you said, cars a replaceable..a humans life on the other hand isnt. but it is a shame about the car..saw it a few times..on the GOR and at status when u came in..goodluck on your next buy..hopefully its still a skyline.

Hey Grant,

Good to see you and your brother came out unscathed from the incident, i see these situations very frequently and some do not recover aswell as you guys did. You'd be surprised how many people have been in this situation, as I said on the day, you're not the first and definetly not the last. The guy with the GT3RS was devistated, and still is after 3 years!!!! I guess turning a $280k car into a ball does that to you.

Was more than happy to help out on the day, nothing worse than being stuck out there not knowing how to get the car back safely. Remember if you need any other help just let me know....

Stay safe.....

Jack

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
