Hey guys, was involved in an accident last Monday, some tool went into my lane driving in the hills, I swirved and lost control (roads were wet + VERY tight space) and hence just found out today my car is being totalled ;):D We can't find the other driver, either he didn't see me crash (likely due to the amount of trees obsuring his view) or he just plain didn't bother to stop, so the excess is left to be paid by me; how nice!

Anyway, now I'm looking for a new car, definately gonna be a Skyline again, probably a S2 R33 but I gotta find the right one, prefferably with a sun roof. Anyone looking to sell me their baby nice and cheap? :wave:

Yeah I'm fine, save for a little bit of a sore back. Definately thank god for insurance, if I didn't have it... well lets say I wouldn't be too happy! Those Skylines are built like brick shithouses though, coming out of an accident like I did with basically no injuries definately says something for Japanese engineering

Was looking at something like this, I know it's in Sydney but I could always fly down (or up - symantics :)), what you guys think?

Sorry to hear about what had happened to your car.

The white R33 seems very neat to me. The price is also quite reasonable, looking at the amount of mods it comes with the car. The only thing that you would have to consider is that you might have to spend some money to remove all the illegal mods when it gets to SA. Transporting the car down/up from Sydney to Adelaide would probably another additional cost of 500-700 bucks, not unless you want to drive it back.

Have you tried looking around locally? But if a couple of $k's different doesn't trip you off the cliff, I guess the white R33 looks like a fantastic choice.

Bad luck man... don't be too worried about purchasing from interstate... I have done it twice in the last 12 months. Just bought my GTR from brisbane a couple of months ago and provided it is currently registered then it does not have to go thru regency. You just have to go for an identity check which can be done at sturt depot not regency... just to check engine/vin no.s ....its no big hassle.

I bought mine from Melbourne last year. Yes you are right... It's only an identity check thing. But if you are unlucky, they will still ask you to take off all the illegal mods before getting your rego in SA. It happened to me. They asked me to take off my tint because the legal tint in SA is 70% instead of 30%. Asked me to increase the height of my car... this and that..... :thumbsup: Cost me a couple of hundreds to get them fixed.

Oh guys that's great news, I was worried about the whole regency thing, but it is registered so hopefully I'll be alright. I'm still looking around here in Adelaide for one but if I can't find one then I'll seriously consider interstate

I got my Stagea (registered) from Qld last year, took the obvious stuff off (like boost guage, boost bleed control, turbo timer, etc) on the side of the road prior to going thru Sturt Rd for the engine # inspection, and it wasnt a problem. Pulled over down the road and put it all back on again!

If the interstate vehicle is in a high state of tune then there could be problems, if mildly mod'd then just take off what you can prior to having the identity inspection. Dont get reamed into going to Regency tho......

Yep what the other guys said is true regarding blatantly obvious mods, but put it this way... I got passed at the id inspection in my 32GTR with an R34 motor, N1 turbos, pods, big injectors, cams, coilovers, bov's etc

So... its not real hard!!

Thanks for the support guys! vange, I'll take a look at that dealer, see if they have anything of interest, do you happen to know the price?. I've considered upgrading to a 34 but I'll probably stick with an S2 33. I've always said to myself the only 34 I'd get would be a GTR :)

As for how the accident happened, LONG complicated story to explain on the forum in text but basically, some ass came into my lane in the hills, sent me out of control and kept going...

My car was exactly like yours but a series 1 and had a sunroof, was a great little car, miss it VERY much. For insurance I went with Just Car and they insured me for $18500 so I get a bit of money back but I'd rather have my car and no hassle of buying another.

All these stories of passing through from interstate inspections is sounding better and better. I'd say the only things I'd have to remove are the PFC hand controller and boost controller, the rest should be cool

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
