Accident with bus - Sunday 3rd October, Surfers Paradise (cnr Gold Coat H'way, Hamilton St.) near Q1.

Car caught fire on impact and my left foot was broken and trapped by the "HANDBRAKE" wrapping around it. Fire crews had to bend it out with rope to release my leg which is broken at the shin and 2 deep 15 and 20 cm lacerations with small bone protruding.

Mad Wagon, Thats some real bad news man

What is the damage like on your car? I hope that its not too bad so we can still go cruising. Just got back from the springbrook mountains where i was eating up 180SX's and S13 Silvias, they were looking at me like 'What the' As my friends hung out of the rear sunroof waving at them..

Crazy evening

That's a shocking story mate. Just goes to show how easy it can happen. I'm driving up to pick my car up today (finally). I'll have your crash in the back of my head. I think I speak on behalf of all the SAU members when I wish you all the best with your recoveryand the repairs to your car. Keep your head up mate.

dont over do it the worst thing that you can do is to cause permanent damage to your leg. I hope that the car isnt too badly damaged.

we all wish you the best for a speedy recovery hope you first and foremost are ok and that you and your car are back on the road asap.

Very sorry to hear that mad. I am glad you were able to post up the story instead of us reading about you in the paper. Take it easy and get well soon. Condolences for your car - but there are always more.

Peace

Ken

Ouch!

Dude, as long as you're alive and not too badly hurt, that's the main thing! A broken leg (although painful and annoying) is probably a lucky break considering the damage done to the car. Jeez, you can't even recognise what it is from the front!

Cars can be repaired or replaced, so that's the least of your worries for now. A damned shame after the car was taking shape quite nicely too!

Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery. :)

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything

      3 or 4 8-balls in the sump?

      Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
