Last night A ford falcon ute with an aluminum tray back and some form of signwriting down the tray reversed into my r32 gtr in Gymea Bay (Sutherland Shire, Sydney, NSW), they nearly killed my best mate in the passenger seat and have written off and destroyed my car. While the general assumption is skyline= stupid behaviour, this was not the case and I, as well as the police officers who attended the scene maintain that i was driving safely.

They reversed and t-boned me as i was passing by and then drove off before i could get their rego details, as the resulting slide and my mate bleeding profusely from the head was keeping me busy.

If anyone knows or has seen a white AU or BA Ford Falcon ute with an aluminum tray back, with smashed tail lights and a few dents in the back, in or around the Sutherland Shire, could you please take note of their number plate and pass it on to me. It would be much appreciated and would be a massive help.

Thankyou.

Nick.

that's terrible man, but in all honesty in these situations the best help is a police officer - i'd also perhaps contact a few panel n paint shops around the area?

tradies look after tradies usually but you never know - but with any luck the police will be able to find this prick, i hope your friend is ok...

if you are joking it is in pretty poor taste, and your from Melbourne so it seems unlikely you would know who it is. If it is not a joke and you actually do know the person responsible, please tell them that if they come to me before the cops find them i have no intention of pressing the hit and run and associated charges, i don't care if he was drunk, im not going to beat him up or anything, i just want my car to be fixed.

EDIT: After a PM user luckieee has said he was lying. Thanks heaps chief. Anyone out there seen this guys ute?

I'm in the shire so I'll keep an eye out. BTW, have you looked into the location of where the ute backed out from ? If it was from a house or shop maybe the cops can go in and ask some questions there. Unfortunately, what you've described is one of many possibilities on the road at the moment. Hope your mate's OK.

it was a public park unfortunately, i have been walking around the area as much as i can and might stake the park out next week. My mate is doing a lot better, im just happy he wasn't an inch taller or he would have a pretty jagged piece metal in his melon.

Local panel beaters, car spares shops (repco and supercheap) and wreckers have been asked to take the rego of anyone requesting a tail light for a falcon trayback, im hopeful but my chances aren't great.

I guess i will start looking at either parting out the car or selling it as a whole, its only body damage, the wheels weren't impacted and the engine is fine, just a nasty gouge in the passenger fender, completely smashed door and a good chunk of roof and the sides.

Thanks for keeping your eyes open and the positive comments guys, i hope luckieee wises up but he probably won't.

Hit me with a pm if you see any bent tray back utes and get their regos.

Nick.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
