poor silvia.

[SilviaNOW]

so i got into a accident today, here is the story. I just brought her out from getting worked on for 3 weeks. Now she is going back into the shop to get fixed.

http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e257/graff-attak/accidentdrawing.jpg
So i was driving south on blackfoot, and im merging onto southland drive. The light was green at the intersection, so no traffic was coming to yield too. There were 3 cars ahead of me, and the first two went so i thought the 3rd one (the van which i hit) was going to go as well, so i was looking left to make sure no cars were coming. Nope she decided to stop and i rear-ended her.
Here are pictures:

So i need a new rad, new fan new FMIC, New intake, new front end.
And before all you jdm haters come in saying shit, this was not caused by me having my steering wheel on the wrong side.
which front end should i go w/? keep s13? go s14? go s15?
any suggestions on intercooler, and such. im thinking greddy for FMIC, and Koyo for rad

[SnakeKack]

Sucks, but at least it looks fixable. I'd keep the S13 front it looks good on coupes.

[SlideWell]

accident? it sounds and looks like you were intentionally following too close and not paying attention. good job. do you need traffic school again?
too bad for the car.

[murda-c]

What did you learn?

lol, jk

But my dad definitely drilled that into me until i told him to shut up when i started driving. Always look in front of you until the car is gone, then check to the left. If you end up having to wait for the next whole in traffic, oh well.

But I guess you already know that now...

yah definately going to do that, once i get her back. just today i guess i wasnt driving carefully enough. Im never in a hurry really, and if i am i can eaither leave earlier or the people can wait for me.

[Mi Beardo es Loco]

sucks. accidents happen. I've had my share of them since I'm driving around 200 miles for work a day. If I had crashed my 13 then I'd be faaaaaalippin out!!!! Did the cop give you any crap or sympathy? Seems like most of the time I get nothing but positives from cops.

[JVD]

She probably saw your hoody in the rear view mirror and was like "oh fuck no!" and locked up her brakes.

That's my theory anyways...

Edit: Oh and I love the diagram. Pretty much everyone on here lives in Cali. Good thing for those street names so everyone can figure out what's going on. Haha.

Good luck with fixing it anyways. I've almost rear ended a couple people like that. I now watch the person in front of me until they're gone.

[Mi Beardo es Loco]

My philosophy is that everyone around me are crap drivers and are going to slam on their brakes or illegally switch lanes at any times. Most of the time I'm right..:2f2f:

Yah im pretty annoyed, but i was going to do a front end conversion anyways, and i have full coverage. This is my first "At fault" accident. Cop was giving me sympathy, and the fireman got into the passenger seat accidently twice.

[DrFtKiNg240sxy]

thats what happens when you wear a FAKE bape hoody..:love:


sorry about the accident. atleast your okay.

[origin_s135]

damn bro that really sucks! i say either get the s13 front back or go s14 kouki, s15 wouldn't look right on a coupe that year.

[SilviaNOW]

its not fake but nice try.

[onehundredoctane]

What did you learn?
If you end up having to wait for the next hole in traffic, oh well.

^fixed that for you


Man, I hate that! If my RHD gets wrecked after I finish it, idk what I'd do. Bump for what looked like a nice stock S13 man! Def. keep us posted on what you end up doing with it!

[ericcastro]

Thats what happens when you're retarded.

YES, the RHD made it harder to look out the side, because the piller was in the way. If you had a LHD car, it would have been a fast glance!! ask anyone on here. when looking out the left to make lane changes its a glance, when looking out the right, it takes a second because of the pillers.
Maybe if you had bought some suspention, brakes, rims, instead of the SR20 first, you would have been able to stop, or at least not have such a big to do list.

You probably like to street race, and do light to light races huh??

maybe Im way off, but I don't think so.

Oh well, get it fixed.

Yah of course, i love street racing. Why not do it on the road, and possibly hurt someone.
Actually one of my friends got badly hurt from some idiot racing and hitting him. And i guess the pictures arnt good to show, but i have the 300zx brake upgrade. Oh and p.s s13's from japan came w/ SR20's

[WangonwWarrior]

thats why i dont want a silvia front, i would hate to see all that money smashed. Hope you get it fixed soon

that's why it was his fault... i mean come on, he assumed the car infront of him went. and we all know what assume means, he made an ASS out if U (the guy in the van) and ME (himself)

how many monies per gallon is that in usd?


Damn,isn't that like close to $4.00 a gallon?

[SilviaNOW]

how many monies per gallon is that in usd?
1 gallon is equal to 3.78 litres.
so times that by 1.17/litre since that what is is for premium
= $4.42/gallon

Imperial gallon:
1 gallon = 4.54 litres

total = $5.31/gallon.

Damn he shouldn't have put that sr20 in his silvia...oh wait....

but it seems like you were joking anyway, so maybe you're not really a dick.

Holy shiite,what octane is that?

[SilviaNOW]

91 octane. 94 is 1.19 but it has ethanol and i have seen it do some weird stuff to engines here. So for now im just on 91 and it does good.

[Anto]

send me your old busted silvia headlights with intact projectors!

[240sx_sr20det]

I don't think you did anything wrong man.

I know exactly what you mean with this whole thing. I always follow people and assume they are going to keep going, but then they somehow become retarded and slam on the brakes. It's ridiculous and annoying.

It's not a case of following too close, it's the other persons fault.




EDIT: Sorry if I'm being a dick tonight. G/F problems. Fucking pissed.

So what he has a big to do list, evidently you haven't seen my build thread.

Have a heart man. An S13 is wounded and you bitching about "dude, you still have stock rims"

Grow up Peter Pan, Count Chocula.

[ms!3]

at least your mistake might remind other people to look twice.

haha, g/l with fixing it man. pretty penny tho unless you got the hookup.

dude how is it the fault of the person you rear end? like seriously in a scenario like that you are suppose to wait for the person infront of you to go first. i mean come on you're basically saying it's his fault for being infront of you...

[murda-c]

If the person stopped, it was because there was a reason to stop.

Doesn't matter if it as a good reason to you or not.

But you learned your lesson, doesn't look like anyone got hurt. you'll pay to fix it. you won't make the same mistake again.

[ericcastro]

Grow up Peter Pan, Count Chocula. ??

neg rep sent, Tommorows is on its way:fawkd:

[civilized_drifter]

and it just happened to be a two tone. thank sucks man. get it fixed fast. glad you wernt hurt

Sarcasm right??? i hope so. Its easy to avoid rear ending someone, just pay attention.


and GF problems suck man, play some video games or something. Something to distract your brain :)

[SilviaNOW]

yah im going to do s14 front end, and i know it was my fault no denying that. Hope everyone learns from my mistake to just stop, and have someone rear end you at the least haha.

http://www.versionselect.com/gtaero.htm
im thinking S14 kouki Version 1.

[240sx_sr20det]

Don't listen to me, I have no idea what I'm rambling on about. Bad night for me.



Swerve next time. End of story.

Yeah, I'm playing some COD4 and just destroying everyone.

I am one pissed off mother fucker.

I dare anyone to play COD4 with me right now. :fawk2::loco:

fuk it man it is what it is... shit happens gotta roll with the punches no matter what life throws at you.

[jyon9689]

That exact same thing happened to me, and the person I hit was in a van too haha. I'm careful, but had my mind on other things, so don't worry about it. Shit happens, but it always makes you pay extra attention after something like that happens. Didn't even scratch my pathfinder though.

[tougeracer]

tear* for your silvia. Sorry about your luck man. she'll be fixed up in no time

[JRas]

keep S13 front

sorry to hear

learn from your mistakes

[blasting_speed]

IDK, but i think it was because your steering wheel was on the wrong side. ahahahahhaahha

That sucks about your car, but at least nothing really bad happened, and you're okay.

Ya you guys can stop complaining about YOUR gas prices now. We make the fucking stuff and we pay more. Explain that to me. Haha.

[g6civcx]

Read the entire link. Get a lawyer. Stop posting shit. Beg the mods to close and delete this thread. Pray you don't get slammed in court.

I don't care so much about you. It's when you get Zilvia in legal drama that we don't need.

Why would i get slammed in court? i did nothing wrong?

[g6civcx]

Why would i get slammed in court? i did nothing wrong?

That's what you think. If I were opposing counsel I could find at least 5 things wrong with what you posted.

To spare you I won't post my findings. Trust me. If I were you I would not post the details you did. You practically handed the opposing counsel your case.

Take it from me. I've had many years of experience in litigation and the legal system. You're shooting yourself in the foot.

Stop posting right now and get this thread deleted ASAP. If you still want to post online get a premie account and post in the premie forum. At least that's private so most search engines can't find it.

[ericcastro]

Why would i get slammed in court? i did nothing wrong?

didn't you rear end someone?? That means your at fault. I think that's what he means. Not that you "did something wrong", but your responsable/your insurance, for the accident.

Ya you guys can stop complaining about YOUR gas prices now. We make the fucking stuff and we pay more. Explain that to me. Haha.

But you get free health care and can drink at the age of 19 :) lol

[SC_S13]

you'll be fine dude. if you're not being challenged in court, you'll be fine. It's not smart to post an ongoing case online with details that an prosecutor or defendant can use against you to sway a traffic referee or a jury. a lotta haters on the net, but you seem pretty level headed, i doubt if this was an ongoing court battle that you'd post this online.

this sort of happened to me, except with a really distracted tourist driver, another reckless car making a turn, and an old deaf lady with a walker. the woes of not having abs and a proper alignment. sigh.

[Mi Beardo es Loco]

isn't the reason why your gas prices are so high because they tax it for the free medical in Canada? How do you like the medical by the way? I think the US will eventually do that in the next 20 years or so. There's just so many uninsured peole and 40 bucks for a tylenol is out of control.

[aznpoopy]

my first and only accident ever happened the same way. lesson learned. yields are stops unless there is absolutely nobody in front of you. never assume the person in front is going, period.

and yes, the accident is your fault. the guy could've been spooked by a piece of paper floating in the air or for no reason at all. decides not to go. and he's entitled to do that. he stops, you rear end. your fault.

[Phatz]

that sucks, good luck with the rebuild...

and how outa shape was that cop?? hahaha

[96Turbo]

sorry to hear about that man, on an authentic silvia too!!! What did the cop say about the RHD? isn't that illegal? I say keep the bricks!!!

[SilviaNOW]

yah rhd is legal here, so is a SR20 swap, so is tinted windows in the rear.
we dont have smog.

[mikey060]

i was talking with the cop after it happend and he was flaming rhd. i argued with him about it. i think i put in a fair argument for rhd's everywhere lol

[Kouki-Fiend]

I did the same exact thing about 6 years ago with my 95 GSR. Fortunately for me It didn't cause much damage at all and my front end was USDM. Ever since then I have never had anything like that happen again , was my first and only wreck so far. Sorry to hear bro but atleast nobody is hurt a little love and some cash and she will be back good as new. good luck.

[629RWHPstang]

dam man that sucks gl

[ayuaddict]

im going to go ahead an disagree with the general consensus here and say that shit happens, he made a mistake.

all the people who have never made a mistake in their life can go ahead and keep flaming him, but i think he feels bad enough about his car without us telling him the obvious.

i hope everything works out well for you.

thank you! finally someone that isn't a prick about the guys situation.

[SilviaNOW]

thanks guys for all the responses, i know i'm at fault for following to close, i just hope this makes someone else take a double check before assuming the car in front decided to go.

[Ace Callaway]

So sad today!

[exitspeed]

I don't care so much about you. It's when you get Zilvia in legal drama that we don't need.

You are absolutely right. Like the thread Lisa made recently, what you post CAN and WILL be used against you.

I'm locking this one up. But I'm not going to delete it. It serves as a good example of what NOT to do.

DON'T TALK ABOUT YOUR ACCIDENTS ON ZILVIA
