My Car Is Wrecked! (warning - 5mb)


Recommended Posts

Tonight my car was hit leaving Milton Macca's at the corner of Castlemain and Milton Rd. Thanks to everyone who came up to me and helped out. (also r33skyliner & MRR34) Unfortunately I won't be able to attend the Massive Skyline Cruise...for obvious reasons ;)

The good news is that the accident wasn't my fault, no-one was injured, and we are both covered by full-comp insurance.

I hope everyone that drove by enjoyed the show :D

Here are some pictures I took of the nights events at Milton

Regards,

Liam

Must have been the night for accidents. Saw a newish Blue 200sx totally mauled on the corner of Webster and Gympie Rd near Chermside around 10pm. Looks like it ended up taking out what looked like 4-5 cars.

The most important thing is you guys are all ok. Hope insurance does the right thing by you.

Sorry to hear about it Liam. Good to hear no injuries and your in the clear. Make sure they repair it properly, I've seen so many dodgey repairs by reputable panel shops but face facts it will never be like it was. Good luck.

damn thats terrible...

i heard rumers of biffo? did that transpire? lol

glad your all okay.

i wouldnt think it be repaied i would imagine both cars are a write off with the level of damage. The commo obviously. and the amount of damage to your line is considerable. I imagine there is a crease in teh roof and the rails arent very straight under the car. lol

glad your okay.

That's right, like everyone has said, glad your ok.

Just from previous experience with accidents, I'd write down EVERYTHING you remember from this accident now in step by step format and what the other driver said, you said.. cause if push comes to shove and he tries to blame you, you've got an written account of what happened. It helped me EMMENSLY when the guy who ran into me tried to claim that it was my fault.

Cars are replacable, lives aren't, just glad your okay :D

I'm sure someone will have a spare seat for you to attend the msc liam ;)

If you end up gettin it repaired i can reccomend B and I panel and paint in geebung, was down there last week and they had EVOCam's old S3 GTR in there pretty banged up, after they were done with it like new. They have all the equipment needed to straighten the rails etc. Bad luck about the crash bud, good to see u have full comp but.

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
