That should buff right out :)

But seriously, I passed you as well yesterday coming out of Long Gully road. Would have stopped but it looked as though you were ok and everything was pretty well sorted by then.

If it's any consultation, I just got back from the Hong Kong sevens and the drivers over there and particularly over the border in China have to be seen to be believed. They make even ACT drivers look marginally competent.

Hope it all works out ok for you.

As mentioned, glad to hear you are A-OK! Seems to be that a lot of "incidents" are not so much being caused by the "hoons" anymore but more-so people with a lack of skill behind the wheel, lack of sleep, or lack of common sense!

I got the price quotes from just jap. All second hand parts. If they want new parts prices then it will surely be a write-off.

Im not too worried. In a way I hope it gets written off for a few reasons.

1) It will be about 2 - 3 weeks getting repaired due to the fact the engine has to come out, engine bay striped and the front of the car unstitched. I will be without a car for about 2 months if they try to fix it. :)

2) Ill be able to buy a 2 door or mabye chip in a bit more cash and get myself a 2 door GTS-4. :)

my GF has been hit by a truck and he drove off. nothing she could do.

apparently theres a law that if a truck driver is "unaware" that he/she has caused or been involved in an "accident" and drives off theyre not liable. WTF BS is that!

at least hes taken responsibilty. good job handling it all :)

I just found out that in Just Car Insurance's policy it says that unless I have full comprehensive insurance they will not chase the other insurance company for me. Fair enough I guess. After im back on the road I will be going to full coverage.

They did send me an example of the letter I have to write so it should not be a problem.

Buggah :)

Uh maybe a silly question, but if you only had third party insurance, then why did you think anyone might chase anyone for u? Only full comps do (at least, far as I know, and even then not all the time!).

Once again, good to see ur calm about it and thinking forwards not backwards!

UNLUCKY mate

i was staionary at the lights and someone hit me up the back of my car doing 80+ km/h car written of and me still with a bad back.

if you have any injuries that where not there before the accident make sure to get them checked out as long term it costs you money when it was there fault.

Buggah :D

Most insurance companies have in their policies that if an accident is not your fault then they will help you recover costs. In the money they charge is also a fee for them doing this. That way they make their customer happy (and make sure they still have a car to insure with them) and also make a little cash.

Im with justcar though so I dont have this in my policy.

Things just went from bad to worse anyhow. I got a call sunday morning from the guy that hit me. He told me that the truck he was driving was actually his personal truck and not his work truck. Oh, and that he has no insurance.

I got a quote from tony ferugia today that says the car is an economical write-off, and ill be getting another one tomorrow. I guess ill have to find a good lawyer.

Anyway guys, ill keep ya posted.

I assume he gave you all his details?? Last name, address, phone number?

People that drive without insurance are pretty freakin loopy, please violate him sideways (financially) so that he learns his lesson.

Ouch!

I would definately be finding a good lawyer as its going to be -very- hard to get your money. Was anything defective on the car at all? If so I would advise to get it off before he/his lawyer can get a look at it. It can be argued otherwise that the car was defectable and you shouldnt have been driving it in the first place.

Good luck... know a friend who had a bad accident and the people that hit him were insured. 4 months later the ball is only just starting to roll and he probably wont see a cent for another 12 months. Hope this guy has the spare cash to pay you or else youre going to find yourself severely out of pocket.

Good luck.

He could also be making up that the car isn't insured. If you've given the insurance company his details I'm sure they can look this stuff up. He could just be trying to get out of it becuase he doesn't want to pay his excess and get his premium raised (or what ever way it goes).

My car is 100% legal, registered and had the compulsary 3rd party insurance. No problems there at least. My main problem at this point is that as soon as I tell people that it is an R32 they are not interested in quoteing. A&A have been the least helpful at this stage.

I called him and asked for a quote. He got all my details (including the cars) and said it would be no problem. I pay to get the car towed their and then he tells me that it is not a write-off, but he cant repair it. Then he says that he cant give me any sort of quote.

Anyways. Im talking to my lawyer tonight so ill see what happens.

Well, looks like things are going to be ok. I spoke the the bloke that hit me and he seems keen on buying whats left of my car and making it a hill climb rally car. I have organised for a replacement car which has been freshly imported from japan and is already complied. Hopefully by next friday it will be mine and ready to be transported to canberra by truck. Here are some pics of it.

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
