Bugger.. especially when its so easy to ring an insurance company and get a cover note that covers the car instantly.

If it is a written off he will no doubt be selling parts off it. I'm after a few interior bits, drop me a pm and I'll forward my number or vice versa.

Wow that sucks but sorry to say, stupidity paid a big part here, he just has to learn a lesson from it; albeit an expensive one!

Hope he's alright however, I know what it feels like to lose a car, happened to my first R33 when someone cleaned me up on the way to work :D

Yes it was. Friend is a member of R31 club... and he mentioned it on there.....

Wonder if he's liable for the phone box? Police involved at all?

nar think he drove the car off so cops didnt get there fast enough, but yeh went around and had a look at the dmg its not written off but hes bought the parts to fix it and in total costs about $2500-3000 so he must be peaking, ah well, yeh he had the car for about 5 hours i think. :domokun:

Man whenever I buy a car I take it really easy until you know the limits. I don't think I took it for a proper thrash in the hills for about a month after I bought it.

Guess he will learn big time from that mistake.

The thing is these cars have a higher limit than almost all the drivers on here have ability.

Not good At all. This is the reason why I wont drive my car till its insured.

even though this is slighty off topic. anyone know of some nice big roads without many cops, for newbies to take out something with some power, to not end up like this driver?

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By RB25inside · Posted

      Are these the Dmax ones you are in reference too? https://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35#description Not a bad idea to get the uni flange ones. I have sent just jap an email too. Will see what they say lmao. Only thing is the Dmax ones are on a big back order. Low key anything will be better then my OEM ones I got as they are sounding like popcorn when I go under load lmao 😂☠️🪦.

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Thanks for the replies guys, it's really appreciated.  It seems the kit was supposed to come with those injector bosses but hasn't. Unsure if they'll help as even with the adaptors to make them a 3/4 height injector they still sit too far out so mount the fuel rail?
