hope everything goes well at the doctors mate.

so long as you are physically sorted, the insurance will take care of the rest. she was easily the best 33gtst I have seen in Perth and she will be missed.

hop you get to buy back the wreck, would be a shame to lose your new motor.

make sure you keep us posted on the future plans... bring on the GTArrh!?!?!?!?!

just been up at the emergency ward for another 3 hours, had a CT scan done as the x-rays showed a possible fracture/flake off one of the vertebrae in my neck.

scan came up fine, either an artifact on the x-ray, or slight calcification, and the doctors were surprised all i had was a muscle discomfort in the right side of my neck, considering what i had been through.

now that im fine, time to sort out the twisted metal!

gt51r - possible whiplash, but its hard to see with the scans, so its kind of a wait and see game, however i seem to be doing alot better than most in my situation, which i think is great.

ive had that many cars run through my head last night.. but i still have no idea what i will buy... i was going to buy a bike a while back, just lucky i didnt have this crash on a bike, instead of a car... but it will definately be a 4 wheeled vehicle, with a turbo or two. :P

ryan - once i get everything sorted with hospital, insurance, police, etc.. then i may have a few parts for sale..

yes it does suck.. but what can you do? just deal with it and move on!

Hey Ryan...you have my plates :happy: I wanted HYPER33 (hence my handle) when I got my plates, but I wanted the small plates and were limited to 5 characters :(

Mitchy, glad your scans came out ok :)

Dude glad your ok, yeah losing the car will hurt for a while but there are far more valuable things in life, you'll be right when you get stuck into the next motoring adventure.

Hmmmm maybe we should make that wreck of yours an auto :nyaanyaa:

Mate please dont buy a bike.......

Although the speed of them is incredible and such a rush I was reminded lastnight as to how dangerous they are, waneroo road, 8pm just after tuart hill mac donalds 6 cop cars 3 ambulances, bike was on wanneroo turning right into side road and unfortunately got cleaned up by a white falcon wagon...... Ummm I have seen some bad things in my life I really was not prepared to see what I have done. Also whilst managing Zest in Bibra Lake our member was 15 metres away from our front door and unfortunately got cleaned up by a truck, really nice guy too.

The damage really is that much more when on a bike, from what I have seen you can still be in the right but motorist just dont see you.

Im still a little bit funny from what i saw lastnight and motrobikes, have always thought it would be great to have one but thank goodness you got rammed up the bum in a nice skyline than on a nice gsxr, i dont think you would be in the same condition you are now needless to say :-(

about 73% of all serious accidents involving motorcycles last year were the fault of car drivers. Being in the right doesn't help you when you are laying on the road in a crumpled heap man.

I was raised on bikes from the age of 9 and I can say that in the last 10 years it has got too stupidly dangerous out there for any sane person to ride a bike in this city on a regular basis. My last bike sat in a shed untouched for 6 months before I sold it because I became convinced the last words I was ever going to here was "I didn't see him...."

*cough* GTR *cough*.....

      To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear

      I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.

      No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.

      I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
