so i purchased new licence plates and went to fit them on. but the olders were all bent outta place and i cant even fit it on. VIC roads said i can get it repaired for around 150 bucks.

the reason they are bent is because some bitch forgot her handbreak and rolled into me. i jumped out and asked for her details but she drove off telling me to stop acting like a girl no damage was done but i managed to get her licence plate.

when i looked at the dmg it didnt look like anything serious. so i left it

but after buying licence plates and fitting them on.....as i explained above.....things need to be fixed

my question is can i still put this on the driver that hit me....even after 2 months? because thats when it happened....i never thought it would do some damage like this

what u guys think?

Should have reported her straight away if you had licence plate.

might be a bit too late now lodging a claim.

and would it be worth lodging / chasing up for $150?

Im sure you can afford it.

sucks that it had to happen though.

2 months later? no sale.

You can try, but the cops are going to ask you why it wasnt reported within 48 hours... and to that you havent got a leg to stand on as the good old "i didnt look at the time" doesnt hold up.

So its the numberplate holder thats bent?

Im sure some DIY would be able to fix it for free.

Pft - if some lady hit me and drove off I would have reported it straight away to the police regardless of the amount of damage.

The fact that she left the scene of an accident (any accident) without stopping is ridiculous. People like that deserve to have the law come down on them.

Hey Andru, yeah tough break...you know what they say about hindsight :P it's always 20/20 vision :sick: Hopefully a bit of work yourself can just straighten out the plates and you are good for nothing to pay but a little of your time :mad:

Cheers,

JB

Do you have any pics?

If it is as I am picturing it, why not get 2 blocks of wood and sandwich the plate between them. Then hammer the top block until it is flat. That way you dont get impressions in the plate from doing it on a surface like tarmac etc.

But also, 2 months is a bit long.

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
