Hi guys,

A few months ago I was involved in a crash, my GTR Black Edition was written off due to a moron running a red light. Quite a bit of damage and airbags everywhere.

Kept it under wraps during the insurance process plus I was a bit angry.

I've finally sorted it all out with insurance and am now looking for a replacement vehicle.

This is a big inconvenience, but hey, series 7 updates anyone?

Cheers.

Yeah was hit at about 60km/h I think. There was some debate for a while as to repair vs write off. High salvage value= write off. Thankfully. Last thing you want is a near new car that's been repai

best thing about a good insurance policy, they pay you, they take care of the rest. it blows me away that people even drive at all without insurance. why would you ever want to handle the aftermath ei

Yikes.

Thankfully you're ok!

Thankfully there was insurance!

Now thats out of the way; that sucks! Can understand you being angry about it.

Yep that's the main thing. Walked out with minor bruises.

Get this, the other driver:

Unlicensed (his L's had been cancelled).

No insurance.

Driving like an idiot running red lights.

The only legit thing he had was that the car was actually registered at the time (his mum's car).

Yeah that would make me angry. Really angry! So your insurance covered and will sue him I assume?

The bloke that almost killed me on my bike was unlicensed, unregistered and uninsured.

Cops didn't charge him for driving unlicensed because they couldn't confirm he had received the letter stating it. :angry:

Yep insurance are going after him.

It'll teach him a life lesson I reckon.

A complete and utter lack of self responsibility.

unfortunate what happened.

but the people who do this stuff, majority of them have lost their license, have no insurance or car is stolen. it isnt exactly uncommon, probably been happening for a very long time.

it blows me away that people even drive at all without insurance. why would you ever want to handle the aftermath either being at fault or not.

i wouldnt put $50 of fuel in my car before paying for insurance.

ah well people are dickheads. luckely it wasnt worse, noones hurt, you get a shiney new car :)

Thats a fair sideways shunt , were you pushed into on coming traffic

not a very nice feeling at all .

Basically, I had a green arrow and was turning right, hence he hit me more towards the rear of the car.

There was no oncoming traffic at the time (was about 7pm in a suburban street), but I did end up on the wrong side of the road facing the other direction (180 degree turn).

In terms of insurance, as others have said, I can't believe people drive around without it. As the car is less than 2 years old, there is a new for new policy in place. I'm not sure how that works, but I imagine he'll have to pay off close to 200k.

      How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
