Sitting at traffic lights today, behind some hick in a jacked up '85ish Patrol with mud up to the windows...... for NO reason at all the f**ker reverses about 6-8 feet fast enough to chirp his rears, I had time to think" f**k!! " and chuck the R in reverse and try & get outa the road...... and he tags me good and proper..... :yes:

Damage..... Bonnet stuffed, grille cracked, passenger guard dented, Vspec lip stuffed......

looks like im getting that carbon bonnet a little sooner than planned! :D:D

Still cant figure out why he wanted to go backwards in such a hurry, my first thought was deliberate, but he was keen to get it settled & sorted out once we got to the side street...... i mean i barely had time to react.....

hey this happened to one guy in my team last week. some retart just decided to reverse at the lights??

anyway they exchanged details and then he changed his story and said my mate ran into him...which to tell u the truth sounded more legit...anyway lucky for some witnesses and the cops got involved...

hehe

as it happens I work in a position where its possible to see certain things...turns out he owned some money and hadn't passed on his new address...hehe we made sure the debt collectors knew where to find him!

classic...

Hey Rod, sure it wasn't Emre :thumbsup: He's into SUV's now isn't he?

There's nothing worse than some scumbag changing their story so get them to draw a diagram on the spot and sign and date.

Chris, has that guy got a tax debt my wife should know about? :ermm:

Hey Geoff, nah it wasnt the big fella..... he's got more class than a hick old school Patrol! Land Cruiser all the way! LOL!

Taking it to the panel shop today for quotes, not looking forward to driving it with a mushed in nose......

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
