Hey,

Coming home from a mates party last night out in the mountain, let a mate drive my car home with me in at as I don't drink drive, well anyway the results of a amatuer and a gtr = bang

He was braking into and out of the corner that he approached to quickly, so shifted the weight onto the front, back end stepped out as we were turning, he panicked quickly countrsteered and let it snap back then jump on brakes and off the road we went.

2 trees and a fence and we were pulled up.

anyway what do you reckon, is it repairable or would you just strip it and sell it for parts?

cheers

first I would get a damage estimate, then I would go and give that estimate to my "friend" and finally whoop his ass to pluto!

I would think, that maybe you could repair it, but it will cost you heaps - and insurance wont cover you as you werent driving it......

Also should add, a rule that I used to have when I was drinking was that I never take my car out. If at all I was gonna be drinking and if I had to drive to get to the party or place or whatever, I take my old bomb, that way if I had to leave it there, I wouldnt be too worried about something happening to my car....

Insurance?

Could say you were driving.....

Either way that don't look too repairable but then again i've seen some cars totaled or what i thought was totaled and they end up being repairable. I'd get a few opinions from some bodyshops.

PS lesson learnt (don't mean that in a harsh way) to never let friend drive car.

Whoa....that sucks. You seem so blasé about it all, I could imagine myself in hysterics if the shoe was on the other foot.

Yeh I wouldn't say I'm not to fussed more so on the depressive side, the car was to be sold in a week or 2 for 17,500 thats money that could have been in my account ready for another car, but now there is this major inconvience with payment from said driver which will need discussing and time frame when I get it etc,

What can you do? thinking about just f**ks with your head.

Insurance is a negative, Haven't got any as I never thought "I" would need to claim

Ouch.. good to see your ok, as everyone said - write off for sure!..

"Insurance is a negative" - as in you don't have any, or they aren't going to cover you..

Good luck with getting the money out of your mate.. could be alittle difficult trying to get money from them...

well the good news is it's not the end of the world. if your friend is a good one he will offer to either take the car off your hands for $17,500 and wreck/repair it himself, of let you wreck it out and he will pay you for the difference between what you get at the $17,500 you were selling it for.

if he is not going to be a man, and doesn't offer to compensate you for his f**k up then there is not much you can do, but wreck it out and move on.

Well as everyone has said lucky your not hurt.

But im guessin you can't do or expect to much from your mate as by the looks of the damage you guys were fair flying, and guessing again you'd have given him permission to do so.....?

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
