the above fiat driven by an old guy ... he had parked earlier in the day as shown in the picture, i thought it was dodgy and took a photo incase i found any marks on my car when i finished work, eneded up taking a break early in the arvo to see old man sitting in his car thought perfect i'll watch him, then literally watched him swing his car around and clip the side of my car while reversing, ran after him and got some spiel how he was '80yo and needs to drive carefully and would have felt if he had hit me' and that 'its nothing, will buff out etc..'

already made a claim, all i have to do is take the car to a couple of panel shops for quotes- because i can name the car and witnessed the whole thing i dont pay excess, as it clearly wasnt my fault - was parked well within the space, he was over the line and way too close to my car to begin with. Had i needed to get into my car i couldn't have from that side.

Good thing you spotted it, he probably alzimered it away while talking to him lol

rofl alzheimered it away gold....

(pictures scene from star wars) old man ; "this isn't the fiat you're looking for" *waves hand at self.

nie 1 i never thought of doing that when i park... maybe i should start. not a bad idea.

also audi on top gear ftw!!!!

im not sure it would have worked if i hadn't witnessed it happen, as i couldn't prove it was his car that did the damage, but its better than nothing.

my borther and dad are in love with those cars, they said they saw so many of them in europe (the got back 6 days ago)

if it left paint you probably could, match paint scraping etc. i know it would probably cost money, buts still.

hopefully insurance would cover that.

I hate jerks that drive off without leaving details etc,

i witnessed a guy reverse his camry hard into some other car, he started to drive of, so i yelled and and stopped him, i said leave details etc,

got out and put paper under wiper, and drove off,

i walked ovet to find a blank bit of paper left behind...

stupid me hadnt thought of remembering plates, they are scum

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
