Angry, Upset, Bite The Dust Hard !!!!


Recommended Posts

Thats farked up man.

Try salvage as much as you can, and with the help of a few people you might be able to get it back on the road. If not sell the parts atleast and you will get a few $$ back. Did the cops get called after the accident since ur friend had to be cut out of the car?

what ive learnt in life is that you and your family come first, then its friend. sometimes its good to be selfish within reason. if ur friends are truly your friends then they would respect you all the more for that. your car is like ur sister/gf....you dont want any of your friends touching them:D:D but yeah id seriously question the loyalty of ur friend as to why he didnt tell u he lost his license, why he wanted to drive your car even though he knew he lost his license, and is he gonna take some responsibility for compensating you for car??

glad to hear everyones alright though. u should seriously get checked out cause my high-school mate was in an accident and he seemed fine but a day or so later died from a clot in the brain or something like that. better to be safe than sorry!!

At least you are OK!

However, like many other people have said, i would talk to your friend about reimburstment for the damage. Even if it was a small amount each week/month for a period of time.

His neglect to tell you about not having a current license strikes me with shock! Moreso, why/how did he loose his license in the first place?

The lack of responsibility and senseibility on your friends part is to blame here, and i for one would make sure that they were taught a lesson. Who knows *what* could of happened - your friend and or yourself could of wound up dead as a result of this.

If he does not offer to pay it looks like he is taking advantage of your friendship. Damn man u seem like a VERY VERY good friend if you'r not gonna try to sqeeze anything from him, and if you dont, dont be suprised if it happens again. Sometimes you gotta be harsh to prevent bad things happening.

That sucks major ass... glad you are okay, nothing else you could have done so don't beat yourself up over it...

(...BTW I am starting a skyline club for people with smashed body work and blown engines, we will have a cruise soon... Just have to get everyone to tow their cars to my house, then we can sit in them, get obscenely drunk and abuse people with cars that run...)

West - sorry to hear about your bad luck.

All the best.

I hope your friend sells his car/house/lung to help you out.

To everyone else crying about his mate not having a license - what difference does it make it had no insurance! The issue is his mate WROTE IT OFF not that he was unlicensed.

You are alive and not in a wheelchair, thank god for that.

Did you buy the car outright or are you making payments against a loan?

If you still have payments to make I dont need to tell you whose address I would get the bill redirected to.

As someone else said, did your friend even offer to pay you back?

I only have a couple of friends with powerful cars that let me get behind the wheel, one is over 400rwkw and with all of us we all know if we "bend it, we spend it".

Now, how fast was the car going approximately? If he got cut out of it I assume it had some velocity.

I say, if it is actually a write off, to sell what you can and deduct that amount from the purchase and ask your friend to pay the balance in monthly installments.

Can I ask how long he has been your friend for?

Im really sorry to hear about what happened.. :D

Firstly.. Glad that you guys are ok.. (cos now you can kick he's asss)

Secondly.. Your mate has made a mistake in taking your friendship for granted.. I hope your mate has realized this and gives you he's car or works hes asss off to repay you.

Too many people are taken for granted these days and it sux!!

Hopefully you are able to repair it.. if not.. salvage everything you can..

I hope you get all this sorted out without too much trouble..

Good Luck!!

Hey mate sorry to hear your loss :(

Dunno if you remember, but I met you several months ago when you were still selling your car...

Glad to hear that you're okay. Make sure you get yourself checked out tho... what appears to be relatively minor injuries now may develop into impairing or debilitating injuries several years from now...

I just hope your friend has the decency to make up for what he's just done... I make it perfectly clear to anyone who drives my car (close friends included) that if they bend it I want a new one equal to the value of the car that I bought it for...

Also I think it's very bad form that your friend asked to have a drive and he did not alert you to the fact hat he lost his license. Insurance and reimbursement aside, I think that constitutes as a serious breach of trust... :D

That sucks.

If the guy was cut out of the car, it is 99% there were police there. He will be reamed for no license. As he should. Even if the car was insured, it would be null and void b/c the driver was unlicensed.

You are too nice.

Think about it this way - how are you going to get around now, seeing that your car is on a flat-bed? Pure and simple, your car has been taken away from you. YOUR MATE, if he is a good mate, should be doing ALL the work to either - 1. return your car to the condition it was in, or, 2. replace it with one of identical condition, in as little time as possible.

He will enjoy his time in court.

I'm sorry, I know he is your mate, but by all accounts sounds like a tool

Ok the engine survised, maybe one or two engine mounts broken thats why it sat on a bit of an angle.

What you think guys?

Also looks like i've got a few bit and peices for sale beside from the Engine, box and loom that Sam want. Main one is the ABS control unit that sat under the console and most of the stuff from the rear quater back .......like GTR strutt brace, hicas.....Stealth wing in silver pm me.

Yeah Roy, belive it or not my whole body hurted again when i saw it this morning after towing it back. I bought the car stock ass about 3 years ago then slowly build it up now it's all just a peice of metal.

I reckon i could get all the brakes and wheel hubs sold for the silvia boys, door on my side still survise, rear windows...Sam will do a compression test on the engine to check it out

Fark'en hell man!

Any word from your "mate". Take him to the ppls court and if he doesent offer to pay for such a serious smash sell tickets for "WEST DANCE PARTY" venue... WEST'S FRIENDS HEAD... I'll buy one for a $1

exactly why i have never accepted any rides in mates cars!! ... good friend has a gtr and he offerred me a drive in the car ... tempting but no way!!! not worth the risk!!! shit happens!!! .. lesson to everyone!!! sorry about the loss ... i have a small idea of how u feel ...

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
