Jay, I think all of us would say that you have a pretty good attitude. Certainly when I met you briefly at Caltex before that coast cruise you struck me as a very level-headed chap. I'd say that would extend to driving too.

Accidents happen to everyone (that's why there are erasers on the end of pencils) and it completely sucks but as long as no one is hurt, everything else can be fixed. Don't add salt to the wound by beating yourself up about it.

Re repairs, I can second Slyder's comments about Terry Pulford - I've heard good things about them.

Condolences, mate - I hope you get her back on the road soon.

SilverSlyder & Sigsputnik - thanks guys.

That's true, accidents happen, and upto now I've had a pretty much spotless driving history. I think it was around 14 years ago that I had my last speeding ticket !!

Now all I can do is go with the flow, if it get's written off then I'll start the hunt for another, if it doesn't then it looks like the push bike is gunna get a good work out until it's fixed :)

J

P.S. - I'll look into Pulford's and Barret Bros - thanks again.

OMG Jay - thank goodness you and everyone involved is okay....

As has been said its happened - its done - don't beat yourself up too much.

I shouldn't really say this on a Skyline forum but the reality is its only a car and they can be fixed or replaced. Lives and horrible injuries can't...

Take care......Keep us all in the loop

:(

Hmmm, i saw a black R32 skyline today in tuggeranong at the traffic lights across from the wollies servo. Female driver as well. I was the dickhead on the side of the road with two other mates who screamed 'NICE SKYLINE' at you before you drove off.

um...unsure of the KMs? Was that cause it read 28,000 on the speedo but was really around 60,000? I was told it was cause it had the Nismo dash installed. But yeah, looked at it twice so far and on the second visit decided to buy. I was just surprised with the condition of it, there was barely any wear on the cars interior at all which i was very impressed with. Plus it drove very nicely :D

Owners a nice guy too, and it wasn't the first Skyline he's imported either.

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
