Hey guys

Next door neighbour just crashed his 34 into a gutter.

The whole front left wheel has been pushed back.

I took a few photos and was wondering what you guys would suggest could be broken from the picture.

From what I can tell the only part f**ked is the bottom bar thing (control arm maybe?)

Not to good with the names of the parts

If anyone could help that would be great just so we can start sourcing some parts tonight.

Caster arms are pretty strong, especially in tension. Have a close look at the bolt hole through the front end mounting point of that arm. If it is not a snug fit to the bolt (ie, been stretched) then you'll have trouble. Look also for stretching and distortion of the mount itself. Look for evidence of movement of things that shouldn't like the crossmember against the chassis rail. Compare from side to side, etc etc.

No, just that it may be bent enough that just replacing bolt on bits won't fix it. I did a similar thing to mine many years ago. Slight understeer moment into a kerb, pushed the crossmember backwards. We straightened all that out but there has always been something slightly different side to side on the front of my cars since then. It wheel aligns OK, but it's not the same.

You might need to get the car look at by a competent chassis guy if you put it back together and either can't make stuff line up properly, can't get it to wheel align properly, or can't get it to drive properly. If you were in Adelaide I could point you to a guy.

The car might need to be put on a chassis jig and bent back the other way to get things right it it's had a severe tweak.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
