Hey all, hope you all had a better weekend than I did. Went to buy a car for the missus on the weekend from Melbourne, we set off at 4:00AM on Saturday morning, she lives in Kersbrook so we left there to go to mine so that Steve could be a lovely chap and pick us up. Unfortunately, on the way, some f**kstick thought it would be funny to lie a rubbish bin a few meters after a blind corner, so there I was, 4 in the morning, minding my own business then BANG! Copped a direct hit on the car, shit loads of damage, front bar/lip, front drivers quater, drivers door, rear drivers quater AND headlight, probably $4-5000 worth of damage and I'm pissed!

Went back today to talk to the owners, apparently it's a frequent occurance with assclowns driving through to place the bins (which are kept a few meters from the road) onto the road itself so that oncoming traffic hits them. Funny what people pass off as fun these days, I or my missus could have easily been killed had the bin gone through our windscreen...

Anyway onto the damage pics :)

Yeah been to the police, they didn't really give two shits. Cop lady said "you'll learn one day not to drive these cars" Not sure what she meant by that but thought it was a rude statement to make...

Carl, yeah it sucked ass, insurance will come to the party (spoke to them already) but I have to pay excess and I have to be without my car YET again, it's just really disheartened me!

BTW Steve, many thanks again buddy! Really appreciate it, both Lana and I :)

Maybe it's because I've destroyed the rear quarter on my car, but the damage on yours doesn't look too bad. Looks like another front bar would do it, or repair your one if it's fibreglass. Still, thats bullshit man, stupid people that do this shit need to have some fking sense belted into them.

This would piss me off more than that actual damage itself. Who the f**k does the bitch think she is, pretty much blaming the car you drive for you hitting a bin lying on the road. I am a very well mannered young lad when speaking to police officers, but that shit deserves a fking serving and a half whether shes a copper or not.

Did you politely remind her it is our choice what car we drive and instead of criticising it do her f**king job and stop idiots leaving bins across the road on blind corners?

that really sucks :blush: am glad youse are ok :)

stupid cop lady, obviously doesn't realise it has nothing

to do with what type of car you drive, has to do with wankers doing that and causing

accidents that shouldn't have happened :)

maybe she'll learn that when it happens to her

Andrew, the damage you can't really see in the pics but the headlight is scratched to all shit and cracked... there's $1500 already (Nissan and their Xenon lights!) Then there's the aluminium front quater, then the bin scraped all down the side of the car so once all is said and done, the damage will rack up to a fair bit I'd say. Will find out for sure on Tueday when I get to organise some quotes.

Ah ok yeah that'd do it, I didn't notice the guard + side scrapage. GODDAM on that headlight, thats crazy :blush:. I spose you'd want it all perfect but jesus for $1500 I'd leave the headlight til later :)

Most people that know me, I'm f**king ANAL about my cars, one little blemish and I have to get it fixed so I'd rather just fix everything and be done with it. Yeah it cost more but I get in the mindset if I don't do it now, I never will. I'm actually thinking of taking the car off the road for the next few monts, fixing the damage, doing turbos, clutch, dumps, computer/tune, etc so when it gets back on the road it will be a totally new car :)

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
