That's not so bad. I heard about one that was wrapped around a pole, and only the running gear is good(here in Alaska) . Try to fix and forget it.......as may be you were going just a little too fast around that corner. Less brakes is better than too much, or better stated: a little slower coming in and drop a gear and power out of the corner. Anyways, do you care to tell us what happened? Do your plastic parts match the (metal)body parts. If it did it won't know... Good luck in the repairs department......Shawn

That 2nd picture you have on there is old. It happened last summer or so and was posted on honda-tech; one of the members went out to the salvage yard to check on it and it was stripped practically down to the chassis w/in a week!

yea but what gets me is the air bags did not diploy??? and surely with an impact as hard as it seems they would have diployed....

Dumbass wrapped himself around a telephone pole from the side

That poor R34

Skylines don't have side-impact airbags and there's no reason for the front airbags to deploy in a collision of that nature so they didn't.

yea but i would think the impact/vibration alone would set them off atleast??? i guess not...

ive lived a side impact similar, they don't deploy, unless the front gets hit a bit, its a piece of shit

what's the point of the bags to deploy from the front the impact is sending u to the side not towards the steering wheel.
