Hi guys...Well last night it finally happend. Went out for a cruise with my mate in the skyline...Did something stupid, lost control and slammed into a gutter. (No panel or body damage).

From a first glance the front left mag wheel & tyre (standard 5 spoke mag) were in bad shape. Hole in tyre and chunk taken out of the mag. I tried to jack it up and change the tyre but it was pushed back into the wheel arch. So i had to get the car towed.

I found out this morning that the control arm has been bent and also there is something wrong with the suspension.

What I need is a parts dealer in QLD preferrably or anywhere who can help me out sourcing some spare parts. Im not personally doing the repairs, the panel beater is but i dont want to pay $$$ for brand new parts.

If anyone knows of a business that can supply such parts, please send me an email with the details...any help is appreciated.

Thank-you.

Bryce

Funny enough i have managed to do the same thing to my baby tonight :D

Was going a little 2 fast, cruised over a hill, to see that it ended in red lights and a hard corner. Needles to say i had to slam the brakes and do my best, ended up going up the gutter and doing the same sort of damage :mad:

AFAIK, the lower arm has snapped off, and something near the suspension looks rather loose. How much did the repairs cost for you? Any1 know respectable places in syd? I also want my car on the road asap, how long did ures take?

Mine cost $700 in parts....got them brand-new direct from japan...didnt want to stuff around with second hand parts. My lower control arm and something else was bent, mag wheel and tyre rooted as well. Only took 1 week to get the parts and that included fitting. All up i think it cost about $900-$1000. Just got it back last week.

Hey all,

I'm DFLASH's friend who had a wannabe drift accident. It always seems to be the front left for everyone. You'll need the lower control arm, castor rod, maybe a castor rod bracket if skylines use one and maybe a new steering arm.

It's not too hard to fix up, I have pics if anyone wants to see them.

    • Hey, yeah I really like the color. Only paint I'd rather have is KN6, but those are expensive. Right now I'm trying to get the car to the point where I can get it tuned to 370hp so the whole setup can be driven legally, and pass the next inspection that is already due anyway. Beyond that lots of rust fixing I'm afraid, winter project is most likely going to be a front end teardown and fixing the strut tower rust. I know these can be driven daily but I don't think I will do so anytime soon. Will post a build thread soon with a list of issues and futute plans.   Cheers
    • Wanted to reply to this topic. I'm in the somewhat same boat with our Stagea. I'm trying to install a different rear diff. The Stagea/Skyline uses mounts on top of the rear diff for the ATTESA pump. Any way you can relocate the pump? I did find this kit https://theskylineshed.com/products/nissan-oem-attesa-mounting-kit-to-suit-r32-r33-r34
    • So here's the deal, my wife picked up an S2 AWD Stagea. Super cool, clean car. Looks like the owner in Japan went track spec as it's got some heavy modifications including Exedy twin disk, tension rods, coilovers, GTR brakes, oil cooler & a Nismo 2 way rear diff. Now, cool mods for sure. But, she is just using this as a casual daily driver. The 2 way rear is AGGRESSIVE. It also has solid subframe bushings & poly diff bushings. So that doesn't help either. So far I've tried changing the diff fluid to the correct fluid. Even tried a little friction modifier. No help. This thing clunks, skips the tires & has some slight whine/NVH when driving. Might sound like I'm being picky, but just trying to find a better solution. Here in the states, it's impossible to find a Stagea rear diff. No luck. I do have a 300zx non-turbo diff. Same ratio, 5 bolt axles. On the Stagea, you need both front & rear diff ratios to match. This car is a 4.083. I'd like to just swap a normal rear diff into this thing. Nothing fancy. Even open diff is fine. She's not tracking the car LOL The difference is that the ATTESA pump mounts to the top of the rear diff. There are 3 total mounting points for the pump on top of the diff. With all this being said, what would be the best way to go about this? I could remove the Stagea diff & see if I could get somebody to possibly weld the 3 tabs/mounting points onto the 300zx diff so we could mount the pump on the 300zx diff. I could swap the internals from the 300zx into the Stagea diff but this is not in my comfort zone. Is it possible to mount the ATTESA pump to the underside of the car? Sorry for the paragraph. Just trying to figure out how to go about this. Any help is much appreciated!
