Nice rant Bratva... We all agree with you.

But...

Unfortunately things will never change, the government will just keep installing speed cameras with the claim that they "save lives" and the sh!thouse license testing system will stay the same, breeding more bad drivers.

I hope you pin the b!tch to the wall and she has to pay every penny! :angry:

I had near the same accident once... I was going straight from gungalin towards belco, a car pulled out from the left on the highway and hits the side of my car. Their insurance covered all the work on my car. However I had comprehensive and the insurance company followed it all up for me. You may need legal representation....

I took about 7 photos not very clear because of no Flash but it shows us on the medium strip at the end of the roundabout. Not really possible to speed on that roundabout as the limit is 80km/h and don't think my car can turn that fast.

I don't mean to start nuffing, but what sort of R34 with coilovers cant maintain 80 going straight at that roundabout? From memory its a pretty smooth open roundabout?

Might just lack confidence in the car/himself. I know I underestimate what my car can handle

or maybe poor/worn tyres or slick surface or a heap of other things that just want to ruin your day....

From the left lane you have to turn heaps sharply as you enter the roundabout so unless you cut lanes maybe.

Could have something to do with it

Or not

Wow, you guys must have had some bad experiences in the past. I have been more fortunate.

I was driving along and some old guy tried to change lanes and hit my front quarter and his back quarter. So he tries to blame me, I tell him to get f&*^%. Get home call his insurance company (I said I have no insurance) and gave them his details, they said we'll chase it up. They call me back and they say its my fault, I ask them to put me on a three way conversation with the doosh, so they did, by asking him to explain what happened and me careful choosing my tricky tricky questions I nailed him with the insurance rep listening. Boom baby. Haha.

But seriously, good luck man, hope it all works out for you. And at least you have pictures. They will save youre ass.

Update : Called insurance company, lady that put the claim against me stated that my mate was turning right (to Yass?) and lost grip and drifted out into her! But then insurance company read the police report and it stated that she did not know where the car came from and she didnt see what actually happened so the insurance lady instantly goes yep she was at fault! She had already payed the excess too.

Now i need pick a nice smash repair place that will look after my skyline well but needs to have connection with Suncorp. Gotta get assessement done by Suncorp first but they will pay for a taxi and all which is nice of them :)

When i took it to one of the guys to get assessement done they noticed that both headlights had cracked at the joins and the bracket snapped off so means i can get some brand new ones which arent all yellow and stressed :) And lastly call up the lady and ask why she was bsing

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
