Hey Guys ;

Thought I should tell you about this one.

On friday at about lunch time I was waiting to turn left at a set of lights at Wetherill Park when the van in front of me decides to do an illigel u turn through the end of the yellow. When a Porsch carrera comming the other way, which is also running the light, locks em up trying to miss the van slides accoss the intersection, missing the van, slams into the front of my line.

But wait theres more ; The porsch was going at such a speed, and after hitting the medium strip and getting partly airbourne, spins to again slam into the back of my car ABOVE the back right wheel shunting my car about fifteen feet sideways. And heres the best bit , Im whiplashed and going into shock fast , as im trying to get out of my car ( unbelievably the drivers door is untouched ) the Porche driver jumps out of his car and runs acrross the road and starts to abuse the van driver who has stopped. Im staggering around with people grabbing me to get me out of the traffic ambulance arrives, neck brace, back brace, and off to Westmead hospital to me, four hours of head and spiinal X-rays in intensive care for me, thank you very much.

No damage to me except neck muscles and tendons

NICE ! NICE ! NICE !

Dont know what happened to any of them cause I was haulled off in the ambulance. Late that arvo after getting out of hospital, I got in touch with the tow company and went to the storage yard to get my stuff out of the car. Basically the front of the car smashed half way up and the rear right rear above the wheel is smashed and the roof is totally bent !

As everyone has said, the good thing is that you are safe and OK even if a little bit bruised~

Not the ticket to ride to a GTR that would wish on anyone. And Im not with NRMA ! They need a seeing eye dog to find their own arses when it comes to insuring import cars ! I know I tried them $3400 bucks for someone thats 42 and has had all their insurances with them for 25 years !!!!! I dont think so ! Shannons $872 is ledgendary !

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
