Hi all, I ran into the unthinkable yesterday, wheels locked up and slid into a speed sign, damaging the right hand quarter panel and suspension. Does anyone know of or can sell a panel and front stock suspension? Unfortunately i was driving a friend's car. Further I was a bit shell-shocked that when i accelerated the rear tyres spun out and I fishtailed. I would have thought the 4WD system would have activated to counteract the situation. Could the 4WD system have been disengaged. The car was just complied and landed from japan. Any inputs would be much appreciated.

Damn. Thats how i finished off 10,000km of driving this summer by losing controll in 2nd at 80km/h accelerating and hit a curb, worst part is it was a week before it was gonna get parked for the winter. Never thought it would happen on dry pavement as i never screwed up in the rain yet with rwd. Well i had a close call downshifting to 3rd in the rain at 130km/h pulling an sti and got right bent.

My damage:

- front left rim and rear right rim (finally i have a reason to change the last guys chromies)

- rear right hub i bent in the part the lower A arm connects to

- snapped front left radius rod

- that little rod that the steering is attached to is bent

- front left A arm bent to hell

- left sideskirt is broken from the front tire hitting it

My plan:

- $2000 to replace absolutly everything except front and rear K members from DriftWorks

- Tein coilovers

- 18x9 18x10 rims with as wide of RE01R tire i can fit with rolled fenders

- stock sideskirt

- a gtr wing painted up so i feel like i did some good to the exteriour

- $300 for a replacement hub with new shoes for both sides

- then i get to do my planned mods

I figured that was the reason GTR's are awd but apparently we both need good tire and suspension upgrades

If the car needs body work and paint a widebody kit would not be a very far fetched idea. Or call up import scrap yards and find someones car that had a date with a tree and has what you need in good condition.
