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.

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

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...

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
