Accident with bus - Sunday 3rd October, Surfers Paradise (cnr Gold Coat H'way, Hamilton St.) near Q1.

Car caught fire on impact and my left foot was broken and trapped by the "HANDBRAKE" wrapping around it. Fire crews had to bend it out with rope to release my leg which is broken at the shin and 2 deep 15 and 20 cm lacerations with small bone protruding.

Mad Wagon, Thats some real bad news man

What is the damage like on your car? I hope that its not too bad so we can still go cruising. Just got back from the springbrook mountains where i was eating up 180SX's and S13 Silvias, they were looking at me like 'What the' As my friends hung out of the rear sunroof waving at them..

Crazy evening

That's a shocking story mate. Just goes to show how easy it can happen. I'm driving up to pick my car up today (finally). I'll have your crash in the back of my head. I think I speak on behalf of all the SAU members when I wish you all the best with your recoveryand the repairs to your car. Keep your head up mate.

dont over do it the worst thing that you can do is to cause permanent damage to your leg. I hope that the car isnt too badly damaged.

Very sorry to hear that mad. I am glad you were able to post up the story instead of us reading about you in the paper. Take it easy and get well soon. Condolences for your car - but there are always more.

Peace

Ken

Ouch!

Dude, as long as you're alive and not too badly hurt, that's the main thing! A broken leg (although painful and annoying) is probably a lucky break considering the damage done to the car. Jeez, you can't even recognise what it is from the front!

Cars can be repaired or replaced, so that's the least of your worries for now. A damned shame after the car was taking shape quite nicely too!

Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery. :)

    • Nah, don't bother doing any actual measurements on the car. Just go ask the inter-f**king-net.
    • I currently have 18 x 9 +30 on the front with 18 x 10.5 +38 on the rear. Absolutely regretted it. Ended up putting 15 mm spacers on front and 25 mm spacers on the rear. Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers. Definitely would go more aggressive then what you were originally planning. Keep in mind my guards are rolled and cars fair low so you might possibly need to roll guards depending how aggressive you go and how low the car is. Im not an expert but the 18 x 8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30 Sounds like it would sit much better.
    • Hey guys, sorry i have been researching for a few months and absolutely cannot wrap my head around this. I am about to order some rims to fit my R34 Gtt with coilovers My original plan was to order Rota grid R in 18x8.5 +30 235 40 R18 Fronts 18x9.5 +35 255 35 r18 rears But then the thought in my head said this isnt aggressive enough. I want the most concave spokes i can get without too much of poke and scrubbing   So my thoughts now is  18x8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30   My question is will this be the most aggressive i could get it without any guard rolling and does the type of rim style affect the offset / size.   Thanks everyone.
    • Lower parts are there. On passenger seat, bright yellow bit is the release mount. On drivers, bright yellow bit is the lower buckle for the other side. My bet is lowers are tucked out of the way as much as possible for visuals.
    • I'm guessing its a 4 point harness, 3 of the 4 belts are visible. I'm guessing the hidden belt is tucked down between the seat and door.
