FYI my brother-in-law David (Red back on SAU) is running his R33GTR (with R34GTR Nur engine in it) at the Bathurst Motorsport Festival this weekend. FB group below if anyone want to check out pics/join.

The 33 with the impact damage? :( God that looks like it was a massive hit...

-D

Yeah he hit some oil and fishtailed it into the wall :( They are on their way home now - car is not a write-off (we assume), but there is a substantial amount of damage :(

Yeah sadly it was looking the best it has ever looked - I had never seen it so clean and it had never run the Enkei rims on it before either (as the inner plastic guards needed to be modified so they didn't rub).

The front looks bad, but thats only because the guards are alloy and fold up like tissue paper. I had pretty much the same wheel angle after I hit something, I bent my rear subframe, but they arent overly expensive things. The bodywork will be the killer, and if he wants to get the airbags working properly again...

I spoke with David this arvo - looks like a reshell needed - so we are on the lookout for an R33GTR rolling shell. Ripples under the passenger floor, engine/gearbox mounts damaged .... looks moderately major. Sure it will be fixable, but it is a matter of figuring out whether it is more economical to re-shell it or fix it. Plus David is a bit of a perfectionist, so I am sure he would not be happy with fixing the old car if a new one can be had for a reasonable price.

    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
