I've already explained what happened sooooo many times today, but here goes again:

A bunch of us were cruising along Warringah Rd in Forestville when some absolute champion that none of us knew in a heavily modified S13 joined the group.

I was in the right hand lane merging into the centre lane as he flew from the left hand lane, wastegate open & screaming into the centre lane, he realised he was about to rear-end me, he swerved left, hit the gutter & came straight back into my car (which I had already moved back into the right hand lane) pushing me up onto the median strip where i came to a halt.

The Silvia driver suggested we exchange details & not involve the police in the matter.....I was like 'WTF?'

We called the cops as he called a towie & loaded his car up in an unsuccessful attempt to leave before the police arrived.

I guess there's more to tell, but I'm pretty damn sick of thinking about it right now as this whole week has been absolute shit and then my car gets totaled to top it off......

Anyone else who was at the scene can add any other details i may have omitted in my now semi-conscious state (I didn't get much sleep last night).

WTF ??? Dave , sorry to hear man - I travel that way all the time - that blows big time. Do you know if the S13 was a local ?? If you don't mind, PM me the plates of the S13.

Hope it works out OK 4 u !

Cheers,

I couldnt not believe the driving of the "champion" in the silvia, being in the unfortunate position of watching the entire thing from the back was extremely bloody scary. We should all be thankful that Dave is ok and more to the point that nobody was hurt and no other cars damaged in the incident.

There is no excuse for the driving of that idiot.

AKTUNG indeed

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
