Well after a short month of happy ownership i am sorry to say that due to an unfortunate incident involving a person who decided to run a red light, i am now no longer the proud owner of my Skyline. at about 9am this morning her life was taken from her in a cruel and brutal way.

As i was waiting in the intersections of Burke and Canterbury Rds to turn right, the light changed and i moved off. lo and behold the 'gentleman' in question broke the oncoming RED light and slammed straight into my passenger side, wiping it out from A to C pillar and going so far as to buckle the entire substructure and the roof.

it was good while it lasted.

R.I.P. 1990 Nissan Skyline R32 GTS-t Type-M.

Were u waiting in the middle of the intersection to turn right when the lights go orange, or were u behind a red light and then started driving when the light went green?

I know of someone who went through when it was orange, they t boned the person turning. The person turning claimed that the person going straight ran a red light. Insurance claim went on for around 2 weeks, Police said that both were to blame and could not find a person at fault.

The person who turned had to pay excess for both repairs, the insurance companies decided that it was the turning persons fault as the turning person must always give way....

I hope the other guy has to payout becuase he clearly ran a red and you have witnesses!! good luck mate.

The police might say they have the right of the way as they are going straight. However, since he ran a red, he broke a traffic offence. Be sure to get witnesses before anything.

Sad to hear another skyline goes to waste.

YES! Taxi drivers always do that!

1) Its very hard to prove that some1 ran a red light

2) If they ran a red then you must have too

3) Turner must always give way no matter what, its in the road laws

to clear it up for you, waiting IN the intersection to turn right, the light went red, thus the road laws state i have to clear the intersection. i don't sit in the middle of the intersection and block oncoming traffic.

and how would i have run a red? if i'm already in the intersection waiting to turn BEFORE the light went red i'm in the clear to progress when there is a gap or the light changes.

fortunately i have a witness who can testify that the guy ran a red light and hit me.

i get what you are trying to say, but in this instance the faults on the other party.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
