having never been involved in a car crash until today (not my fault) prahaps i could get you all to share your first crash/incident with the rest of us.

now that i am almost garanteed not to have my car back for a month, i need something to keep me entertained.

my previosly undamaged, near perfect 32 now sports a new areo package courtesy of the charade imprint left after being smooshed by said charade travelling at about 70 ks while i was stopped. passenger rear 1/4 now rear 1/8 with a nice rippled pattern where it buckled around the tyre arch. very decorative. :P :cuss:

very glad he had insurance, his charade written off ha ha ha

anyone know of a good panelbeater western suburbs of brisbane. i have no idea where to start.

I had a low speed head on with a old corolla with my previous car (94 wrx). She was too cheap to pay the freeway toll and decided to drive back out the wrong direction. I was coming around the blind corner and BAM!

I just sat there looking at her in my car. Shook my head and she started crying.

I came up to a T-Intersection fairly quickly but braking hard. There was a car stopped there but as I approached she started moving off so I eased my braking a little in order to stop at the stop line. She changes her mind and rolls back 2 metres as it was on a hill. I go back to maximum braking effort and stop without touching however, due to the front suspension being soft, the car bounced up when I stopped and it had gone just underneath the towball on her car.

So the top of my bumper connected with the bottom of her towball. Total damage; I lost some crome, she gained some on the bolt under the towball.

I didn't report it to the cops because there was no damage but she did... 4 days later. Must have had another accident backing into something cos she said she was going to sue me for it. Once she realised I wasn't going to cough up easily she reported it to her insurance company who threatened me with all sorts of stuff.

I wrote them a nasty letter and I never heard from them again.

Phew.

First day i bought my skyline.....pissing down rain, locker diff, totally bald tyres....cruising down the middle lane of a 3 lane road in clifton hill.....doing 70km/h.....my best mate in the car with me.... 'eyy watch this bro', dropped it back into 2nd, floored it. Before i knew what was what i was the back kicked out hard and ended up doing about 6 or 7 360's. Back of the car clipped a bus stop.

had a head on with a tree at about 40-50ks when i was about 10-11 (i wasnt driving obviously) first accident i had when i was actually driving was when i was on my l's, driving down a 50k street. stupid woman in a tarago parked on the side of the road decides she wants to pull a u-turn from the side of the road without looking or indicating, so of course we t-bone her in the middle of the road at about 55 ks, i ride her across the road, bends her tarago in half, leaves my mums old mazda with a bent chassis, both cars written off, tarago woman goes to hospital, mum busted up her shoulder. You would not believe the joy i had after the accident of jumping out of the wreckage and giving this ignorant woman the serving of her lifetime.

Sorry to hear dude. Try doing a search in the QLD section or posting up a thread in there.

Cheers,

Nothing to serious, my mate in his old magna reversed into the back of a Ford Fairlane. Minimal damage done. Still, the guy had parked it pretty far off the gutter, and was practically waiting for us at the door like he had expected someone to hit it.

Another one of my mates killed his car the other day, unlicenced driver, unregistered car and a 'watch this bro' moment. Tried to spin the wheels on his auto falcon but insteal broke the gearbox. :cheers: massive clunk and that was the end of that.

drunk driver crashed into the side(sort of side on) of my car doing approx 120km/h i was doing 80 he bounced off me and crashed straight into the concrete barrier, the drivers side of my car was crushed.. and this was in my old swft gti!

i was ok, he was arrested :cheers:;) for blowing 0.18. the the car he was driving and wrote off was not even his to make things worse for him.

also no insurance as he was pissed so he had to pay for my car out of pocket.

heres a pic of before mentioned damage. unfortuently i don't have broadband and can't stay up all night waiting to download more pics. damage doesn't seem so bad after shock worn off, but still bad enough about 3 grands damage.

wish i had pics of his car, it was a mangled wreak.

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
