So yeah, looks like Mr Commo owner tried something new - took out 3x cars and ended up into the pole. I'm a little upset my lawn is ruined, and he's cracked the gutter.. :(

On another more serious note.. this happened around 7pm, it took the local cops 2.5 hours to come to the scene. Then they breath tested the dude and he barely scraped through as being legal to drive. If they have gotten him 2.5 hours earlier when everyone called they might have had him for DUI.

So yeah... not sure what to think of coppers to when they come and talk to you like you're some criminal too. And to add more salt to the wound, they kept saying "your greenslip will cover for all the damage to your vehicles, trust me I've been doing this for years"...

Anyhow, what a night!

Sydney.

What more can you say?

2.5 hours for police attendance is ridiculous in this instance

Lawn in the photo doesn't look too bad

hopefully he gets a stiff penalty.

Will certainly be paying it off for many years

What I find ironic is that the coppers refused to do a police report because no one was hurt.

But seriously, he was doing so top speed shit to even cause that much damage. If he was doing 50km/h I am sure there would have been less damage than that.

And by the time they got there, he had sobered up.

Yeah when they moved the VT commodore it took a chunk of my lawn out :(

wouldnt be greenslip, thats for personal injury. he'd wanna hope he had TPO or full comp cover

if I were you I'd certainly be sdending him a letter of demand to fix your lawn!

That sucks man, how did he even manage that? Not like you live at an intersection or curved road...

"Serve and protect" guess that doesn't apply here. Should've told them you're selling drugs to the driver, they would have turned up quicker.

Let this be a warning to everyone!...

If you try to ram-raid Johnny's place, you'll only get as far as his lawn!

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
