Hey all,

was dropping a friend home after work last night about 11:30 near corner of Highbury and Springvale Rd. and saw a black skyline up the gutter from a distance. I dropped my mate home and went back to Springvale Rd and saw it was my mates car. Apparently someone cut in front of him and he swerved to miss them losing control and hitting the only pole in 100 metres. Oh and a bus stop. Him and his cousin were fine but the car's a write off. So is the pole.

It was a black '95 R33 gtst with yellow leather interior and blitz wheels.

If anyone knows this car he's spent almost an extra 25k on that car, such a shame. He finished rebuilding the engine only a couple of weeks ago too.

He was just up at easter nats not long ago, blew his turbo I think.

Poor guy

thats tuff man.  i dont think id swerve to avoid someone cutting infront of me.  id break hard and if i had to, hit em and let insurance do their job.  hope everything works out for him.

hmmm I don't think insurance is applicable in this case. He had a 350kw + engine and nothing else was really standard either.

Hehe, i was driving home from my girlfriends place coming down sprinvale road (from the glen direction) and (i was flying) i saw the flashing lights etc and slowed down to get a good look, bit of a shame unfortunately, i drove past around 12:30.

Just for a lil more info for the others, it really was basically the only major pole for like 100m, i thought 'how unlucky', the poll was absolutely totalled.

Is that the car with a big stereo in the boot (subs behind tail lights facing towards the front)? Where the wheels a really dark gold colour? If so awesome car (or was). Wasnt a fan of the yellow leather when i saw it, but still looked better than std.

The area in question is a 60 zone.

Its actually a 70 zone, then after you cross highbury rd at the top of the hill or something its back to an 80 zone and stays that way pretty much to mitcham road

Just drove past this section of road last night, and was thinking about it, if he was acceleration pretty hard after stopping at the lights, coming off highbury road there is a fly lane (or w/e) someone coulda come pretty fast out of that, and cut in front of him, about 50m up past the lights is the bus stop, swerved, hit the thingy :|

Thats just a guess how that happened :|

    • Could someone post some pictures of the factory Jack , tools, spare tire and how they were in a 1998 ER34 2 door skyline originally?
    • UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!  
    • I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end
    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
