well, if you know surfers at all on the gold coast h'way where Q1 is, was at those lights. when they turned green i took off and was looking over shoulder to merge into right lane then my mate says watch out for the bus. when i saw it, only a bit of the front was out, there is a give way sign there but it didn't exist for him, went straight through it, didnt slow down or swerve, nothing. slammed brakes, which locked up? when i hit it, it took up all 3 lanes of the h'way and i hit at the rear wheel and swerved s'wheel to left so i hit more my side than my mate's, he got a bruised wrist. on impact it there where flames in the e'bay and he got out but my left foot was trapped from the foot parkbrake pedal at the shin which wrapped around my foot. while those flames were getting a little bigger, abt 20 ppl where trying to break the driver door and electric seats to get me out then this guy comes out of nowhere with an extinguisher and puts the fire out. fire crews used jaws and lifts to break the door and bend off the pedal. good thing its a wagon coz ambos pulled me out from the luggage area. also lucky the sunroof was open coz i was pushed up and a bit of my head was pokin out the top.

witht the impact the stagea did well to protect us as you can see from the crumples and that the dash was still intact, as well as the windscreen not shattering. got a few cuts from flying glass on fingers and forehead, deep lacerations on left shin, stitches off in 3 days, left foot broken bone, right hip, leg and groin sprained badly and still sore to walk on, right ankle torn ligaments, right shoulder torn muscle and no more stagea!!!!

unbelievable, why did this happen to me, you know it's one of those things that happens to other people that you hear about and think "shit man, hope that never happens to me", but it does. morale is expect that unexpected moment of stupidity that those fare prostitutes have when they're in front or beside you, stay away from buses on the road in the gold coast and you'll be safe.

thank you for the good wishes, it's greatly appreciated and helps to know others care and keep safe all you lucky ppl out there who are privalleged enough to still have the ability to bring your pride and joy to life at the flick of a switch, while mine lays dead like a tortured cattle carcass in a corner!

    • 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  
    • 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
