Well where to start, at the start of course. I was working on my car last night and put my keys for my skyline on the roof of one of my cars. I later then went out but as it was getting dark I didn't see the keys still on the roof and got in the car and drove off. Well it was the next day when i went to use the skyline that i realized that had left the keys on the roof the night before. And of course they weren't there must have slid off the car somewhere down the road. F*#king dumb ass i am, should have not put them up there.

So in a mad rush to go look round for them in the morning down the road i backed out of the drive (in my subaru) and bloody collected the gate which ripped off indicator and some of the bumper. A few choice words then back to looking for the keys. Had a look but no good, someone must have picked them up. My only hope that there is still a few decent people out there and they hand it in to police.

Well i was heading away for the wk so i grabbed the spare keys and headed off to my destination in the skyline. But as they say " they come in three's". 1st was keys 2nd was subaru.

Heading down this road near Cockatoo area there was a tree on my side of the road covering like 1 meter from the edge of the road. The car in front darted around tree, crossing onto other side of road. I was going to do the same but a Semi and 4 cars were coming the other way and there was not enough room to squeeze pass the tree and the truck so i jumped on the anchors to not hit the tree or truck. Well the lady behind me musta bee day dreaming cos she just was not watching and ran into the back of me. :)

There is the 3rd one.

Car quite f*#ked now. Had to use a crow bar to lever the rear panel off the rear wheel to drive home. She also pushed me into the tree i tried to dodge and scratched the whole left side as well. No injuries too so thank god. I figured i copped enough bad luck for one day so my luck has to change. So i then went and brought a tatts lotto ticket. I will post again on how this turns out.

Any information on other who have had similar accidents and how there car got repaired etc and turned out would be grate.

Well thats my life story >_<

Look on the bright side. Someone could have picked up the keys and stolen the car. Backing out you could have run over your pet cat/dog, and still smashed your light. And you could have been hit by that semi you mentioned.

See, so life aint that bad after all!

Being serious tho, glad your ok. Just think hit up the bum at least its not your fault, that gets fixed no out of pocket for you.

Yeah all good for me as insurance covers all but i am still down one car for a few months plus the other car is just my daily and thats a POS which is just getting me by. Looks like the rear wheel has been pushed forward a bit too. So structural or suspension damage. Shit thing is i still have to pay the loan for the car and i can't even use it.

ouch!!....look at it this way, lesson learned in not to leave your keys car roofs, not to back out of the driveway in a rush, and the third well thats just plain bad luck. i recon you've pretty much copped all the bad luck comming to you this year so its all gonna be good luck from now on. GO TATTS!!

Also yeah i am glad i took on the tree and not the truck. My little bro was in the car with me too so wouldn't only be me in the accident. The lady had 2 young kids like 2 yrs old but they all ok. I dont know how she didn't bounce into oncoming traffic. She steered to dodge me which was towards the truck and got my right rear quarter. Man i tell ya that shit happens fast. I nearly snagged second to floor it so she would miss me but i not fast enough to react. Trucked moved over at last second so i might have just made it thru with only scratches.

I thought of changing the ingnition. Is there a newer nissan that has a similar key lock that will fit the skyline. I thought of just ripping it all out alltogether and using a codded key pad or something.

Well only 30mins of this crappy day left.

i thought any car is responsible for hiting anyone else....regardless of reason.

the rulebook states u should be a good 2seconds away from the car infront of u...should of been enouhg time to stop i would suppose?

correct me if im wrong...

Yeah i think thats the general way it goes. She is in the wrong. But looks to me that she was off with the fairy's as there was no skid marks before she hit me.

Man it hurts to see my baby so messed up like this. I always looked after it and had it in like show room condition.

I'm glad no one was was hurt. If that's the worse day of your life then you're doing pretty well. I started the year by getting T-boned, pushed across four lanes of traffic, over the curb and through a fence. Spent the night in hospital and have about 2-3 years of rehab to look forward to and that WASN'T the worst day of my life.

Losing keys, backing into a gate and getting rear ended (where no one was hurt) isn't too bad. I hope your car gets repair quickly and properly and you're back on the road enjoying Skylining around.

Thanks all for the feed back. Yeah I am going to check out under the car n see if any structural stuff is bent. Man maybe my day wasn't that bad after all. I am still annoyed about loosing the keys cos it had my immobilizer button pad on it so someone can get into my car and drive away with it if they know what car it goes too that is. I might rip the locks out and change them.

yeah I hope it will turn out like show room when they are done. I think they will cut out the damaged section and weld in new section from donor car. I hope they don't try to pull any "bog it up" shit. The rear wheel has been shifted forward bout 10mm or so. might be suspension arms or something that has copped it. Man it was crap on the side of the road after it. Panels all pushed onto rear wheel. A helpfull farmer nearby lent me a crow bar and i had to lever that shit off the wheel. Was hard to cause more damage to my car. Went past there today and picked up a few pieces left on roadside.

Yeah i found out what has made the rear wheel move forward. One of the suspension brackets the bolt onto the chassis has been bent up. Should be just matter of replace and all good. Hopefully shit lines up again. The boot lid seems to be still in the right spot with even spacings from the rear window. Yeah going to be hard job. Hope i get the right people to do it too.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
