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

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
