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.

we all wish you the best for a speedy recovery hope you first and foremost are ok and that you and your car are back on the road asap.

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. :)

    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
