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...

    • Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.
    • As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.
    • get some flares on them, or wider guards haha
    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
