Hey everyone!!

i am so happy to talk to u guys again..if u guys still wanna me here...after all i lost the whole car:(

It was just a car....

The important thing is that everyone's OK.

People see the photos and go OH MY GOD! Because everyone knows how quickly these things can happen.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

We're all here for you. :)

g'day everyone i found this thread from a link on overclockers, i just thought i'd say to vicki and the other guys that i hope they get better soon.

If this is the accident that happened on alexandra avenue about 2:55pm on monday then i was the one to find it driving outbound, upon finding it myself and i believe a guy named 'rob' who had been driving inbound, quickly called the ambulance, police etc. and made sure the car was switched off, it seemed bad at the time but it's good to see that noone was seriously injured. I waited around until the guy in the front was taken away but when i asked the police yesterday how you were they just said it was nothing too major, just cuts bruises etc.

It seemed like a completely freak accident considering it had just started raining and having been in that position myself before i can sympathise fully and it seemed like a fantastic car that was tragic to have been involved in such a nasty accident.

I was meant to give a statement to police on tuesday but as i live quite a distance away they said they already had enough witnesses, and I only saw the car come to a stop in the middle of the road as I was driving towards melb high school.

So vicki and company i hope you are all ok and the accident doesn't stay with you for too long and you get another skyline as it looked as though it was a much loved beast!

cheers,

rod.w :)

i would like to thank you very much for your help and assistance on the other day...i was the guy in the front passenger seat...we are all generally ok...a fractured wrist and cuts to face which needed stitches seems to be the worst of the injuries.

i was actually wondering how i could find out who you guys were to thank you in person...maybe we could meet up some time, il buy you a drink!

once again, thanks. and everyone...pls drive safe in these wintery days

thnx alot rob

i wont get a skyline back tho:)

i lost my FTO not long ago too...i think i kill cars too much:(

but really thankyou for ur help:D

Milky:

I went past on my way home on Monday - and grabbed your bumper-bar and one of the foglamps - if you would like them as a memento they are in my garage :)

Glad you OK (and Sniffy too) - you are very lucky. The car must have been airborne to hit the tree so high up!

Sorry for poor quality of image - have bumped up the levels so you can see through the dark. Compare the height of my headlights to the height of the mark on the tree!

I have all these at higher resolution if anyone is interested.

Shows how easy something 'bad' can happen. Take lots of care out there.

Aw - Milky.

Don't let it get you down too much. Yes it was a lovely car, but it was just a car.

You are OK (and so are the others) - this is the important thing.

Some days 'life' just happens - you cannot predict what lies in store. You live to experience another day - whatever it brings. That's all part of the adventure. Hang in there :)

Boy - don't I sound philosophical :)

1st... glad to hear every1 is ok, you all did very well given the state of the car!

2nd... stick with the RAV4, as powerful cars don't seem to be 'your thing'

3rd... maybe sell the RAV4, and buy an early 80's falcodore?

It just goes to show that even skylines don't handle particularly well in the wet... 'specially after a couple of dry days, the road is JUST TOO GREASY!

P.S> the only reason i'm even being remotely stupid with points 2 and 3 is that sniffy is a ledgend the way he has approached the whole thing, everyone is ok and YOU HAVE TO GET OVER IT SOMETIME... ASAP!

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
