black R33 crash last night

[jetgts]

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.

Yea that sux... glad ya mate is alright guess thats most important... sad about the car hope he can work something out...

MD himself? I'm not sure what you mean.

He hit a bus stop pole and a large metal pole, they were next to each other

Looks he'll look for a front cut and keep it for the track. Got any tips on replacing the the front end YLWGTR?

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

Why would you drive around in a car you've spent 25k on and not have proper insurance? What did the driver that caused the accident do?

[foznice]

MD stands for mines_datsun.. aka redfc and all the rest bla bla.. the kid who rips people off on here.. you know the one?... well he apparently crashed his line into a bus stop.

It's instinct. I think I'd swerve too.

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.

[Al]

Was the driver speeding at the time? I only ask, as i am thinkink wtf he didn't use his brakes? It is only an 80km zone, some areas 60km.

[jetgts]

Apparently he was stopped at the lights 100-150m before it, so maybe he was accelarating pretty hard...

[SKY031]

The area in question is a 60 zone.

[riggaP]

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.

[tmb86]

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 :|
