Low tyre Pressure + 2nd Gear around corner = Not good.

Was on my way to Pump tyres up and get fuel as my tyres normally sit around 32-34psi, they were about 26-28 and yea................hit a kerb.

want to try and fix it all in a week as i just went on annual leave....poo :)

on closer inspection, Power steering rod is bent, Zorst dented, skirts have minor cracks wont know fully till i get her on a hoist. :)

Dammnit i was so close to caltex aswell lol.

on the bright side, maybe i can get new skirts...hmmm

Got to find a place to get another rim like that.

shit thats pretty bad. know how you feel man. i hit a kerb like 3 months ago(wet roads and worn out inside edges dont mix) understeered and hit it. put it on the hoist; bend my lower control arm, tyre was rubbing on inner guard and rim is heavily scratched got my lower control arm replaced, got new front tyres and wheel alignment done by brad afterthat. just gotta watch the tyre pressures and depth frequently

Yea lesson learnt, can only hope i didnt bend the chassis :) but it dont look to bad just LHF wheel area is FkD.

It caught me off guard im still not sure if it was because of my tyres or there was something on the road (oil, sand) but either way, take the corners carfully guys.

    • Thanks for that.... If only I could do something once and be happy with that, like some people do....
    • I had no transmission at all so I managed to find a big box manual gearbox from an R34 GTT for an insanely good price in EU. I converted it to push type which cost more than the transmission almost, with parts from Amayama! These engines are very strong and can put out decent power with a properly sized turbo. You can save on money from parts like pistons and rods, and invest those in the transmission and other parts. I suggest you join the RB20 Enthusiasts facebook group, plenty of info and almost daily posts there about 20DE/DET/Neo+T builds. (I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules by mentioning third party platforms, just trying to help the buddy out)
    • Yeah, having tried all of those methods including BBQ+recipro/hacksaw, I ended up buying a bush press kit under $150 that works well, like this: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355967727167?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=sfmmuhxgqhm&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=dJvnaZ11TB-&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY It basically has a range of pushers and cups with threaded rods between to press out a range of large bushes. The problem with any sawing solution is minimising damage to the subframe side, although it probably needs a quick sand afterwards no matter what solution you try due to damage
    • Hi. Thanks for the answer. I do not have instagram 😄 I too considering turbo the RB20DE NEO 🙂 But i think i upgrade the gearbox first or at least buy new.  
    • Just pulled the passenger apart so got a good idea, also the side bracket that pivots the top half is completely cooked.. how I don’t know.. haha and paid $400 also included a photo of the passenger seat! She is mint
