Who Bought The Damaged R33 Gtr At Pickles Auction On Wednesday?


Recommended Posts

that really pisses me off. Now I get fking screwed on premiums because of other wankers dodgey claims. nasty.

Seems as though the insurers didn't do much of an investigation, with so much evidence available, it sure does piss you off.

Thats all i can remember.

I killed approx $20k at WSID in my mess and even had the tow truck driver spinning a story for my insurance claim, why bother though just take it on the chin and get on with life.

at last years powercruise there was an NSX that got really badly smashed up on the track and a week later we got a quote from a panel shop that is one of my customer for the same car (i sell honda spare parts) my assistant manager was doing the job and i got him to call the panel shop and ask if it was all through insurance and they said yes.. I went onto the powercruise website and found pics of the car against the wall and on the towtruck

Correct. However - I know that NSX owner (Angus) and his insurance company stated they WOULD cover him for the power cruise event, so it was a legal claim :ninja:

at least it was a legit claim. Was it him or his mate that was driving because i heard that it was his mate that was driving

His mate. The car has now been prepared and due to having to replace the guards etc, it's now widebody (bodykit was cheaper than factory panels)

yeah good man. like I said I've backed my car into the wall before at EC. not bad, but bad enough that it cost me money to fix! probably a few grand in the end. didn't even think twice about defrauding my insurance company. They have been there for me when one of my cars was stolen so why would I want to rip them off?

Thats what i heard was happening to it. Got any pics of it?

so say he's been driving 10years.

pays $1500k each year, he's paid the insurance company 15k never made a claim......

then, has an accident and cops in on the chin? screw the insurance company!

they are the bad guys (unless he makes a claim like every 2years)

If your a shit driver drive on the track or the road, your still gonna have an accident.

dont cry to this guy about insurance, cry to your insurance company they are the one reaping the profits while premiums still rise

This thing made a grown man shit his pants (with a huge grin of course), and made a young boy plead with me to 'Slow down, for the love of God, Please!"

Without the Cat, the sound the car made was like sex to a car enthusiasts ears, and with the Hi Flow Cat, it still was nice, just not as emotionally intense haha...

Anyways, its good to hear the Car will live to see another day...

    • I chose a bad time to buy, at the time there was no gtst's for sale in NSW and my options were qld, vic, or sa and not the greatest examples or too far out of my budget. Ended up picking this one from adelaide sight unseen and got a bit stitched up as you could expect but i dont fully regret it, its just a shame people cant be more transparent in this day and age.
    • IMO just buy a whole R33 transmission and swap the whole thing. Use a palm nailer/air hammer with a roll pin punch to drive the shifter rod end roll pins out. The rod end is discontinued so don't break it. Use gasket dressing on the OEM paper gasket instead of RTV. I personally would not pry on the shifter cover tabs, I broke one trying that instead of just smacking the side with a dead blow rubber mallet to shock it loose from the RTV the last mechanic applied. If you can't get the flanges totally clean and free of any residual RTV and/or you might have a gap that is bigger than it should due to flange damage use RTV on that surface instead of the OEM specced anaerobic sealer. Anaerobic sealer is most likely the right sealant for the job, it's just too easy to mess it up with too large a gap or bad surface prep/roughness seemingly. If you do rebuild what you have it's for a whole gearset that can take high torque. Don't bother with OEM at that point.
    • Little hose. Big hose. They're all waiting to kill the engine.
    • Nice ride, hard to find these days!
    • Full e85 barrell stuff real world for reference if it helps as Ive pushed 2 x sets injectors to limit Above mentioned Bosch 1480cc run on 4 bar base to the apparent 1650cc on rb2.7 yielded 912hp / 684  kw  at 92% duty on hub dyno ID1700's - RB 2.8 ...1015hp / 760 kw at 87% duty - hubber dyno + shown off data on track my opinion IF you change injectors just go bigger than you think you need the modern/ good larger ones run just fine if tuned properly even if way bigger than required even on streeters
