My Car Is Wrecked! (warning - 5mb)


Recommended Posts

Tonight my car was hit leaving Milton Macca's at the corner of Castlemain and Milton Rd. Thanks to everyone who came up to me and helped out. (also r33skyliner & MRR34) Unfortunately I won't be able to attend the Massive Skyline Cruise...for obvious reasons ;)

The good news is that the accident wasn't my fault, no-one was injured, and we are both covered by full-comp insurance.

I hope everyone that drove by enjoyed the show :D

Here are some pictures I took of the nights events at Milton

Regards,

Liam

Must have been the night for accidents. Saw a newish Blue 200sx totally mauled on the corner of Webster and Gympie Rd near Chermside around 10pm. Looks like it ended up taking out what looked like 4-5 cars.

The most important thing is you guys are all ok. Hope insurance does the right thing by you.

Sorry to hear about it Liam. Good to hear no injuries and your in the clear. Make sure they repair it properly, I've seen so many dodgey repairs by reputable panel shops but face facts it will never be like it was. Good luck.

damn thats terrible...

i heard rumers of biffo? did that transpire? lol

glad your all okay.

i wouldnt think it be repaied i would imagine both cars are a write off with the level of damage. The commo obviously. and the amount of damage to your line is considerable. I imagine there is a crease in teh roof and the rails arent very straight under the car. lol

glad your okay.

That's right, like everyone has said, glad your ok.

Just from previous experience with accidents, I'd write down EVERYTHING you remember from this accident now in step by step format and what the other driver said, you said.. cause if push comes to shove and he tries to blame you, you've got an written account of what happened. It helped me EMMENSLY when the guy who ran into me tried to claim that it was my fault.

Cars are replacable, lives aren't, just glad your okay :D

I'm sure someone will have a spare seat for you to attend the msc liam ;)

If you end up gettin it repaired i can reccomend B and I panel and paint in geebung, was down there last week and they had EVOCam's old S3 GTR in there pretty banged up, after they were done with it like new. They have all the equipment needed to straighten the rails etc. Bad luck about the crash bud, good to see u have full comp but.

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
