Great to see that you are up and about again Drew... Its probably a good thing that you dont remember the accident, coz it was pretty huge from a couple of cars behind!! Dont rush into it but would be great to catch all of you at a BBQ or something relaxed!

Thanks fellas. I like the sound of the BBQ idea. I will have a think about what I can organise over the next couple of days. Maybe a BBQ in the Belair national park might work. That way people can bring their cars along and into the park. There are some great picnic/bbq areas with plenty of room to kick the footy.

Cheers, Drew

good to see you back up and about, If there's a positive to come out of this atleast now u get to go through the process of looking for a new and possibly even better car, i know i always get excited even looking for cars for mates!

awesome to hear you are out and about Drew! Take it easy mate and don't overdo it .... it's hard, as you want to get back to your life, but for the long term slow and steady wins the race.

yeah great to see your home drew you take it easy and Sue and Grant say your over doing it SLOW down :(

yeah a BBQ @ belair sounds great u will have to bring you family so we can (those that havnt met) all say hello and wot not

Glad to heer you are back home and looking to the future. A BBQ sounds like a great idea (my place is available if needed)

Take it easy, these trhings do take time. The physical bits will heal long defore you are truly over it all. Hope we can catch up again soon.

Drew its great to hear your well and slowly returning to your normal life. Will definitely be at the BBQ as last time we met in the hospital wasn't under the best circumstances.

Cheers, Nick

sorry about bringing up this thread, but the female in that crash has recently made an appearance on ns.com requesting the name of the club involved and explaining her side of the story.

i have supplied her with a link to this thread.

here's a link to her post: http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...t&p=2386541

you want a bad month? i was in a crash on the mt. barker road on the 21st of may 2006, my bf was driving my festiva. 4 skylines came up the hill 2 abreast, we swerved the 1st one and the second one hit us head on, my car was the spun around up the hill, and hit by thecar we were overtaking. m bf was killed on first impact. and now his family are being the biggest c*nts ever to me - they're saying that i killed him - umm no! how do they wrk that out. does anyone know the drivers of the skylines? they belong to a club - not sure which one. PM me if you know, thanks.

and to top off all my injuries my year 12 is f*cked now, i need to go back next year. and his family took his s13 silvia Q that i loved frm my place the day after i got home from hospital - assholes. hearing his car revv over for the last time killed me.

That's very sad how his family are reacting, their greif must be enormous, but I'm sure no less than Yasmin's.

She is very young and taking the lost of her boyfriend quite badly. From the few words she wrote, she does not appear to be very forgiving and I get the impression that she thinks the Skylines are the ones at fault. She is also having a hard time with her now deceasesd BF's family. They seem to be blaming her for the accident and loss of their son.

I am sad that there was a death involved in the accident, but its great to know that the other driver, Drew I think is his name is well and fully recovered. IThe accident could have been much worst if the other Skylines were driving close to each other. Good reason not to tailgate.

yeh, she seems to be in a really angry state right now. also how the family is treating her is disgraceful, they need to see through their grief of the loss of their son and support her.

Whilst I agree in principal with your comments about the bf's family, the death of a son/daughter would be the WORST thing any parent could endure. I honestly believe that they would give their own lives today if it would reverse the past.

It wasnt until I had kids that I truly understood this.

We have the priverlage of looking at this from outside, they have the grief and loss of a child and may/will not be able to see past that for some time. Unfortunatly i work with people in this situation all to frequently and someone/something to blame may/will help them cope in the short term.

Only just saw this thread for the first time today and have just finished reading all 13 pages. Makes you feel lucky to be hear doesn't it?

All the best to everyone involved. Keep getting well soon.

Adrian

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
