Hey all,

was dropping a friend home after work last night about 11:30 near corner of Highbury and Springvale Rd. and saw a black skyline up the gutter from a distance. I dropped my mate home and went back to Springvale Rd and saw it was my mates car. Apparently someone cut in front of him and he swerved to miss them losing control and hitting the only pole in 100 metres. Oh and a bus stop. Him and his cousin were fine but the car's a write off. So is the pole.

It was a black '95 R33 gtst with yellow leather interior and blitz wheels.

If anyone knows this car he's spent almost an extra 25k on that car, such a shame. He finished rebuilding the engine only a couple of weeks ago too.

He was just up at easter nats not long ago, blew his turbo I think.

Poor guy

thats tuff man.  i dont think id swerve to avoid someone cutting infront of me.  id break hard and if i had to, hit em and let insurance do their job.  hope everything works out for him.

hmmm I don't think insurance is applicable in this case. He had a 350kw + engine and nothing else was really standard either.

Hehe, i was driving home from my girlfriends place coming down sprinvale road (from the glen direction) and (i was flying) i saw the flashing lights etc and slowed down to get a good look, bit of a shame unfortunately, i drove past around 12:30.

Just for a lil more info for the others, it really was basically the only major pole for like 100m, i thought 'how unlucky', the poll was absolutely totalled.

Is that the car with a big stereo in the boot (subs behind tail lights facing towards the front)? Where the wheels a really dark gold colour? If so awesome car (or was). Wasnt a fan of the yellow leather when i saw it, but still looked better than std.

The area in question is a 60 zone.

Its actually a 70 zone, then after you cross highbury rd at the top of the hill or something its back to an 80 zone and stays that way pretty much to mitcham road

Just drove past this section of road last night, and was thinking about it, if he was acceleration pretty hard after stopping at the lights, coming off highbury road there is a fly lane (or w/e) someone coulda come pretty fast out of that, and cut in front of him, about 50m up past the lights is the bus stop, swerved, hit the thingy :|

Thats just a guess how that happened :|

    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
    • I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
