My Car Is Wrecked! (warning - 5mb)


Recommended Posts

Belagrion to compare you mums pulsar to this situation is like comparing chalk with shit...please put some perspective into the situation, at the end of the day it comes down to experience and maturity...and if I did see you doing the above in ya mums car I would be the first to bag you out :lol:

I think his point is,

It doesn't matter what car you have,

if you think you can drive like Ayrton Senna,

you're gonna end up like Ayrton Senna.

Yes Mud I realise his point, however, it took you to word it better... ;)

I think there are alot of shared views on here, and they seem to be getting OFF TOPIC again.

Liam has the insurance company issued you with any confirmation of payout for the BER vehicle...??

my point bob, was aimed at the person who claimed rwd cars are dangerous in the wet as the ass steps out and they get wheelspin.

ANYTHING is dangerous in the wet and can achieve wheelspin with minimal effort. If you drive sensibly in the wet then your chances of an accident are vastly minimised.

would you like me to go back and make sure the if was in bold and underlined to clarify that i was making a point and not stating what i do?

mud your point is of the same vein, you drive with recklessness or with skills you dont posses then you too will come unstuck.

altho chances of your being hit in the head with a suspension arm are fairly remote unless your hangin round in josh's garage.

no...not yet, the assessor will send his results off to them tomorow, then they determine what happens with the payout.

Liam,

I will give your smashed up car honoury pics in the calendar!

that'd be awesome mud. If you're serious ive got more pictures on my computer at home including one of me on the night smiling with my wreckage :P also just another thankyou to everyone for their support and ill keep you all up to date with what is going on

Do you know which wreckers they'll be selling the car to?

Or what your goin to do with it from here on-wards?

You are the biggest scabber. The guy has just lost his car, give him some peace....at least for a couple of weeks. lol.

LOL!

Some people rather get rid of it as quickly as possible so they can get their next car. I know of one dude who wrote off his silvia and wanted to get rid of it quickly (did it within 8 days) and moved onto buyin a r33.

i fail to see how you find it hard to get traction in the wet. i can drive my s13 which is set up to drift in the wet and i can get traction no problems, i can drive it safely in the wet with no hassle.

my skyline has in the vicinity of 350rwhp and this too i have no problem driving in the wet,

if i wanted to i can make my mums 00 pulsar wheelspin madly in the wet and get the tail out round corners, does this make a pulsar a bad car and a powerful car that is hard to drive in the wet? no it does not.

i think u misunderstood me. what i was saying was that if u cant control ur foot in the wet, problem happens.( its just easier for a S15 or any turbo RWD cars to get wheel spin in the wet) specially for ppl who have only got their license not very long ago.

thats what i was sayin, there is nothin wrong with s15s. i had been driving that car for a year and did not have a single accident b4 i sold it.

y does every young person think a GTR will turn them into an F1 driver?? its starting to get to me....

and y is everyone so abusive nowadays? i only mentioned buying a GTR and now i got paid out. first of all, i did NOT cause the accident; then i did NOT say im a F1 driver. y cant i just happen to like GTRs? so should i just give up and buy a echo or somthing just becoz im not over 30 and u think i cant drive ?

The assessor has gotten into contact with me today and the car is definately being written-off for the total amount that it was insured for. All that needs to happen now is the claim will be finalised and they will post a cheque out to me. Ive also been told that i can keep my rims that are on the car by swapping them over with the original set, which i will be doing tomorow.

So it looks as though everything has worked out for the best and the turn around was extremely fast :D

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
