Wrote her off today.....

[Andy F]

Well

The biscuit tin has died. Wrote the car off today, but could have been a lot worse, I might not have been here! Totally ripped the nearside front and side upto the door of the car off. Nearly ended up in a 12ft ditch, but thanks to the 2 posts (one concrete and one steel) that stopped me at 50MPH I didnt!

I will post some pics up of the damage.

Engine is sound (I think) so if anyone know who wants to buy the engine/transmission off me then let me know.

Modified GT30 (1 day old - about 50 miles)
HKS ManifoldHKS Wastegate
Zeni-Tani downpipe and Twin exit exhaust
REV3 Block 94 - Uknown internals
TRD Diff
Lightened Flywheel
OS Twin plate clutch
R32 GT-R Intercooler + piping.
HKS F-CON V-Spec Gold
More details in my profile

I might sell the engine/transmission/rear axle as one unit, and sell the turbo as a kit - Turbo, Manifold, IC, Exhaust etc etc

If anyone is interested let me know. Rogue/JJ/Chris

A Sad day for Zeni-Tani biscuit tin

F**k me Fella
Glad your ok..........
You should have just told Neil you didn't want to go to the RR day

[JJ]

oh no ! are you okay dan ? if the damage is how you've described it, sounds like you were going some... you'll be aching today bless you.

At the end of the day dan, its only your pride thats hurt not your goodself.

Bad luck fellar.

If your considering repair - I have a white passenger door, no wing though, but i have a white bumper ( stock though ) !

Quick mobile jig will straighten it up, bit of bashing, few replacement parts and it'll be as good as new again.

I'm not going to be vulture boy, I would consider a repair estimate firstly without going through insurance unless your wiped out something of value - imo, the cars worth a fortune.

Again, glad your safe fellar.

I heard on a grapevine one of the moderators on the skyline owners clubs was recently killed in his car.

Be careful everyone, high powered cars cannot be handled in bad weather - fact - irrespective if you think you can handle your car - I've had plenty of moments powering 4th and its stepped out toward the camber of the road and oncoming traffic ..... just not worth it. Safety first !

Head in my hands for ya dan.

Holy xxxx mate! Sorry to hear that, such a sweet car!

Glad your ok mate!
