dang bad luck......gotta be careful around exam times man....i dont think i ever went in the skyline during exams unless i had good sleep (99% of the time, I was living on coffee)

sux2b the other guy too

but as the others said, main thing is no one was hurt

that audi isn't a write off.

the insurance coy may just give him a new one b/c it is so new...

but that car will end up at pickles or manheim fowles...

chassis doesn't look bent on the TT so it will be repairable.

Sorry to hear and main thing is you are OK. The damage to the Audi doesnt look that costly or like it could have affected it too badly structually. Is it worse than it looks?

At least you had 3rd party insurance too

yeah its worse then it looks in that pic.

anyway

good news

i had a mechanic/panel beater for the HRT v8 supercar team and he said what needs fixing

new radiator

air conditioning

airbags replaced

windscreen

all the front body work

and a bonnet

anyone recommend some good places in melbourne to do this work, preferably one that specialisez in imports and has easy access to parts?

edit: ps. i understand that people may not be able to recomend/slam business on a public forum. so maybey a quiet email/pm

i am looking at the sticky thread about workshops and parts and dealers and just hoping to be able to narrow down the list

ye the last thing id want after buying a brand new Audi is for some1 to hit it then getting it back repaired, id want a new one too if ive forked out that much money.

Mate I know exactly where that is. When I was young and dumb i used to give that corner a little clutch dip every now and then on my way home from work. That was untill the cops and residents figured out what time I did it on certian nights and I got a serious warning. Im sure you wernt doing anything that silly. All the best with the repairs.

Ahhh so that was you... my mate told me about this on Saturday night, he saw the aftermath just after it happened.

You're a De La boy then?

yeah de la boy. there is still some bits of my grill at the scene :'(

thanks for all the tips. im gonna start doing some calling next week.

every time i decide its not worth it to get it fixed i have a look at it outside my house and change my mind

from looking at ur second shot, seams like the reo has been chopped, maybe in japan, if thats the case you'll have a tuff time getting insurance to pay you out. they'll claim that the cut out caused a laxk of structural strength and void ur insurance.

Looks like a standard series 2 reo to me. they are a bit thinner than the series 1's

    • Here is the before and after of the scraping/sanding of the IC pads on the tachometer board. For the fix mentioned in this thread. And yes it worked fine after. Just a note if you change any components on the board the tach calibration can be wrong showing the wrong idle etc...only problem is once it is installed back in the cluster you can't get to it to adjust...ouch! My fix was to cut out the calibration pot (the blue one) from the board and run it with two wires to the fuse panel under the dash where I could adjust the idle calibration once everything was installed.  
    • After an excellent condition, working! oem radio for a 97 r33 And the steering wheel shroud/cover as mines a little bit scratched up Am in Melbourne
    • So my exhaust is loud and sounds awesome (good thing) but also is very loud when coming and going, dont want to piss off the neighours etc Are the varex adjustable mufflers any good? I contacted them but they dont make r33 specific exhausts Ive also see the adjustable inlets on this site but apparently they might restrict airflow too much which wouldnt be good for the engine. Would prefer something thats adjustable from in cabin so i can change it on the fly, dont really want to put in one of those permanent exhaust tip things.  Any other recommendations would be appreciated!
    • You don't need to lean as far to pour the oil in, or change the spark plugs either 😛
    • Indeed, it is much easier to get at the filter with the engine on a stand
