JESUS CHRIST MAN

Honestly, you are one lucky son of a bitch. I swear to god, if we wernt both driving volvos, we probably both wouldnt be here.

Has the car got full comp insurance? or is this just a lot of money down the drain?

Now comes the serious questions, and this is the way it always work. Have you bought the wreck back from the insurance company? Are you parting it out? What do you want to sell the entire wreck for?

Parts of particular interest to me

- AIR DEFLECTORS!!! (I've got dibs!)

- Your rear diff (complete diff inc housing, going to weld it/drop front shaft for some RWD fun)

- Handbrake pads (If in decent condition, I need new handbrake pads)

Thats about all for now, but yeh, the rear diff is the most important to me.

So Rob..... what now, are you gonna get back on the bike (horse) (Unicorn)?

I'm sure that you feel very stupid, but take it (for what it really is) like everything else in life..... a lesson. After all that's what we're here for..... to learn.

So let us know your plans.... we are all interested.

I know that right now your are in pain over your accident, and maybe feeling a little guilty. But just remember the only time that we learn is when we are in pain. being in "the comfort zone" teaches us NOTHING.

Here is an old Japanese proverb,.... "Man who destroy Stagea, must have better things coming"

:P

dont hold back with your comments now john jesus i think hes more than likely feeling pretty shitty and i doubt he feels very stupid and i wouldnt expect other forum users to say shit like that, not very nice imho :happy:

im after a few bits and pieces as well rob if u dont mind parting things out. what colour is the interior trim? if its grey i need the drivers side rear strut top plastic trim cover and drivers side little clip that the cargo cover clips onto near the back liftup door area, ill take photos tommorow to show u exactly. also the cargo slide cover thing as we discussed a week or so ago.

sorry to hear about the accident mate its not a pretty sight :( glad u came out without injury thankfully.

cheers

Brad

next stagea will be an autech 260, prob S1, cheapest one i can find. Will be off the road for a couple of years probably, getting a 34 front end conversion and engine rebuild, probably a big single turbo. Would like to widen the rear guards to fit some deepish wheels.

Colour - silvery light blue, like the new toyota colour. Seen it on echos and camrys.

Wheels - Matt black 18s.

Would like windows like newbies, no tint, if possible.

Nismo side skirts, factory rear bar.

Gotta get back in the saddle.

But gonna do it properly, and get a damn daily driver like a R31 or something to put round in.

YES MY CAR IS TO BE PARTED OUT

Anything from the firewall back is A++ condition. Those who saw my car know that its cleaned and amouralled in and out weekly, so yeah. haha there is seriously not a scratch, dent or chip from the doors back.

Seats, centre console, power windows, door trims, carpet, spare tyre shit, guages with 78tho kms on em, diff setup. ETC. dash and shit.

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      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

      R33 GTST Axles

      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.
