Hope your mate pays you back, good luck with it.

If I ever crashed one of my mates cars I'd sell my own and scrape up every cent to pay them back. It's what's right - even if it wasn't completely his fault he was still behind the wheel.

Exactly, it's the right thing to do. Too many dishonourable people around these days. :)

Thats too bad mate, sorry to see that. But no insurance? I had a mate that had a silvia 1.8NA and he didn't buy insurance either because he never thought he needed it, wrote it off 1 week later :D sad but true. At least none of you were hurt thats the important thing. Can't really insure life even though there is life insurnace :yes:

That can be fixed.. its just a small hit, why is everyone saying RIP etc etc?

Maybe cost you ~2,000. R32 front end parts fit then just buy GTR bonnet and GTR gaurds ;)

Edit : didnt see the rear quarter.. that one is hard to fix LOL. maybe 5K just there

whys everyone blaming the mate? hes not the one who got too smashed to drive..

there isnt a chance in hell i would drive a mates car if it wasnt insured..

Its a case of badluck.. but no insurance these days is just asking for trouble

sorry to say but no insurance no sympathy.

if ya cant afford insurance it means ya cant afford the car

Mate. Im sick of reading this and similare posts to this, Jus cause you dont have insurance does not mean you cant afford insurance. In alot (most) cases it is not financially viable to pay the stupidly high premiums for god know's how long and then the ridiculously high excess fee's if one day something like this does happen. And then have to fight with the insurance company who can constantly change the rules and move the goal posts to suit the argument and weasel thier way out of paying the originally agreed amount.

But im guessing buy your profile stating "you dont have to be young to enjoy a GTR" Your an older bloke so insurance only costs you a bout 12 bucks a year so in your case yes you would be an idiot not to have it.

---------------------------

Sorry to hear bout the car crash mate this is the reason i dont drive mates quick cars and dont let them drive mine to many complications when things go wrong.

But i do feel for you i crashed mine a little while ago at oran park massive pain in the arse time and cost wise.

But i thought that was a rite off and it was not so ask around see what you come up with.

Have you and your mate acually talked about your options in regards to retribution and compensation.

sorry to say but no insurance no sympathy.

if ya cant afford insurance it means ya cant afford the car

if god forbid one day u smash your car i hope noone gives you sympathy either.

edit: do some sums on insurance for younger drivers and you will see that its not an irresponsible thing NOT to insure your performance car.

Insurance is a negative, Haven't got any as I never thought "I" would need to claim

you should always get insurance, there's always a 'what if'

i wouldn't called crashing the GTR going out with honor..........going out with a blown something or a spun somthing......thats honor, this is just unlucky.......sorry to hear about it.

yeehaw! (like me)

Nah we weren't really going quick hey, lost it around the turn about 60-70 k's, I said when we got in the car take it easy you crash it you own it.

This wasn't no mountain run fun thing, he says he thought it was a different turn which is why he went into a bit to quick.

PSI_GTSII "guessin you can't do or expect to much from your mate"

your kidding right? so if you jump in someones car and you crashed it you wouldn't expect to pay for the damage you caused?

60-70k's around a corner is too quick for an 'amateur' driver.

my car is insured. so if someone else crashes it, they pay excess.. nice n simple.. asking someone to pay $18k is a bit "lol" to me. I don't think he'll pay it..

i say do what BeerBaron suggested. Strip it down as parts and sell it, then if u don't make $18k out of it, ask your mate to give you the diference.

btw, was ur mate drunk?

60-70k's around a corner is too quick for an 'amateur' driver.

LOL. Your kidding right. I think your jumping the gun mate you dont know the driver and you dont know the road.

Thats nice if someone crashes your car they pay the excess nice and simple. SO what how does that help this bloke in this situation.

if god forbid one day u smash your car i hope noone gives you sympathy either.

blow a tyre coming round a bend and slam into a mercedes dealership.. tell me then its not worth having insurance... theres a reason for insurance.. they call them "Accidents" not "On Purposes"

every one has them eventually.. i havent had one yet.. but i still will never own a car/bike without factoring in insurance

sorry i meant full comprehensive.

i think it is stupid not to have third party property insurance, and that is irresponsible, as you are putting other peoples property at risk.

if god forbid one day u smash your car i hope noone gives you sympathy either.

i dont need sympathy i have my gtr insured for 30 k and it costs me 800 a year (value for money as far as i am concerned )

i dont need sympathy i have my gtr insured for 30 k and it costs me 800 a year (value for money as far as i am concerned )

that is good value for money, but that kind of value is not available to a lot of people, especially living in sydney, which makes it not worthwhile.

dude you are one annoying kunt. stop with your f**king useless comments.

Coming home from a mates party last night out in the mountain, let a mate drive my car home with me in at as I don't drink drive, well anyway the results of a amatuer and a gtr = bang

Now if YOU had read his first post, he specifically called him an 'amateur' driver. this means it's probably his 'mates' very first time or one of his first few times he's driven a fast car.

this careless moron then proceeds to speed.... 60-70k's around a corner = speeding. His "mate" should pay. This guy said he told his mate that if he crashes it, he owns it. Do you have any witnesses to this verbal agreement? Take him to court.

i cant say or do anything to help this bloke.

it's just one of lifes lessons. dont drive a car you care about anywhere if u're gonna drink. Also, don't let ur mates drive ur car unless u really trust them.

    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
