I just avoided a huge car accident and in the process smashed in the two left side enkei mags hitting a kurb.

I was driving up the beach road on doddi's beach, following a VL Calais Turbo and looked to my right to look at some putang... and there was a camera on the other side of the road coming towards us and he decide that he wanted to turn right and pulled out infront of the calais. The calais locked it up and i chucked on the skids he fully T boned the camera and I pulled off the breaks and swerved into the other lane between 2 islands and hit the 2nd one smashing my both left enkei's and my front bar a bit. i pulled it back and went straight up the road.

When i went back and made a police statement and stuff both cars were write-offs and the calias went about 10 metres from impact point and the camera went about 30 metres. The old guy in the camera (he was driving very slow) got cut outa the car with the jaws of life and the 2 guys in the vl were ok. I am a bit stirred up and pissed about my enkei's but im ok, im going to go jack up my car now and check all the suspension... i'll post some pics later tonight....

moral of the story look at putang while not following a VL.

im gonna ring the chick i been after for 5 months tonight and tell her everything....

life is too short boys.....dont bitch about the small things.....live making big things....

posting pictures in a min, but the back looks repairable, the front is fully bent in but i dont know what they can do these days, they might be able to pull it back but i doubt it. Just went and looked at suspension and shit and it looks ok.

when i was just taking pictures i just found a slight pin strip of white down the door that is so faint that i reckon it can be buffered out really easy. and the rearvision mirror was folded in. with a whis paint mark on that aswell.. and the calais was white so i must have got so close to is that i just actually hit it i'll post the pics of it in about 20 mins....

well i think i know the guy and he has no money or insurance so i cant be fked with it.... plus the more i get involved the more stress and the more worry and i dont want that... i just want to get away from it and get it back on the road....

at the first stages its looks like the only damage is 2 enkei rims.... and the front bar which was already hammered....(the door will buff out of positive) :)

good news is that all the people involved should be ok, although the old guy had to get cut out with the jaws of life... :)

ummmm....if someone can recognise what the name of my enkei's are when i get the photos up i will be very appreciative as i would like to get a hold of one as i love them....

Fane, that sucks, glad you're ok, those rims are multiple piece mabe you can order the outer rims only, that would have to be cheaper than entire wheels. your paint looks like it will come up nice with a cut & polish. Good luck with the repairs. :cuss:

I think the rim could be fixed fane,as the outer is just steel.

Try someone like Summerfield engineering in Kenwick as he makes steel rims and stuff.

Your stunt driving skills have been tested and you passed.Good work.

Fane nice to hear of your lucky escape

have you told the police how you avaided the accident if so new front bar claim on thier insurances looks good and they should pay for the rim repair its worth finding out

my insurance will sky rocket if i claim it so im fked if i do.... its not the excess of 400bucks but the $2600 a year instead of $996, might try and absorb it...

yer dean i went back down there about 5 mintus after with the old man and made a statement and everything and they seem quite cool about it...

DR30, i was hoping that would be the case... i actually think that they might be able to pull them back aswell... lets hope.... i'll go up this weekend and drop them around the place and see what they can do...

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.

      So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about

      This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but..

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
