Hey Kieran,

Car got towed back to workshop in Melbourne and fixed within a couple of days.

I was really lucky it was only a couple of broken control arms...

Lessons I learnt:

1) Never listen to a local towie who talks you into doing an insurance job

2) Don't plant your foot on a corner exit in the wet on cold tyres...

Car is happy again. Wallet still hates me. Meh - the joys of owning an import!

Sanjay, good to know that the damage aren't that bad.

So the upper and lower control arm that were broken/bent?

Why the hell did the towie tell you to insurance job for?

Yep. The car was towed to Chasers Eastside who sorted it out pretty quick.

They said I only needed three parts which could be easily sorted out from the wreckers.

Happy days and I was really lucky - the worst part was the tow bill.

I'm pretty sure the tow guy wanted to tow the car to Melbourne and charge the insurance company a small fortune...

It was my first crash ever as well - on and off a race track.

Good to hear Sanjay... ...Watching a man hold back tears is uncomfortable for everyone... :thumbsup:

hahahahaa .... lucky I had some good blokes around me to sort me out. :blush:

Cheers Grant. You coming on the Arthurs Seat cruise?

Cheers Bec - thanks for all your help on the day. The SAU towie guy is a really nice bloke. The local towie's in shepp not so much... lulz

i usualy carry around spares with me to any track event that i go to, unlucky though i didn't bring any with me to DECA, coz i probably would have had most parts needed to get you driving home

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
    • Echo the awesome sentiment 👍 Definitely a car worth saving. Looking forward to seeing updates as well.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
