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*.....

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
