on the basis that you didn't die, AND don't have insurance

you are a dickhead

haven't seen those crashes on the news recently?

maybve u should post this in the melb section.

im assume ur the biggest **** head ever (GTS_DUY).... i do have insurance but 3 rd party and u dont even know the whole story or what the damage is

so am i asking for u for what ou think about me..NO

and yes my friend is paying for it hes a good friend of mine hes doing all the organising to get ma car fix as possible already got the money lined up to pay for repair.. but im trying to help him out buy finding the best place possible to get my car fixed. so id rather some constructive information please.

the main problem is probarly fixing the chasis theres minmal body damage but he gutterd the car and bent the rear wheel.

do you own a 33 or a 32? or a 34?

if its a 33/32, it might be more worthwhile to sell the car as a wreck, and get your mate to pay you the amount of money required for a repair or at least the difference btw the mkt value of the car less scrap value. Reason being- given the high cost of repairs here in aussie, the final amount might be more than what u initially paid for the car.

i.e cost of r32 - 12k

cost of repair - 8k

value of wreck(half cut) - 4k

might as well write it off and get ur mate to pay you. U can then go look for another car then. After all....bent chassis...even when repaired, might not be as good as new, and u'd have problem selling your car in the future cos pple dont like buying bent cars.

Guys, why are you being so harsh for?, he wasnt even the one driving. Just how fast did he take the turn? why wernt you driving?

he was taking the corner at around 40-45 km.. but as we were coming out of the long turn he hit full boost and then laters to rear end kicked out. and laters.

oh yeh it was a r33 gts-t 1994

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
