i am so happy to talk to u guys again..if u guys still wanna me here...after all i lost the whole car:(

It was just a car....

The important thing is that everyone's OK.

People see the photos and go OH MY GOD! Because everyone knows how quickly these things can happen.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

We're all here for you. :)

g'day everyone i found this thread from a link on overclockers, i just thought i'd say to vicki and the other guys that i hope they get better soon.

If this is the accident that happened on alexandra avenue about 2:55pm on monday then i was the one to find it driving outbound, upon finding it myself and i believe a guy named 'rob' who had been driving inbound, quickly called the ambulance, police etc. and made sure the car was switched off, it seemed bad at the time but it's good to see that noone was seriously injured. I waited around until the guy in the front was taken away but when i asked the police yesterday how you were they just said it was nothing too major, just cuts bruises etc.

It seemed like a completely freak accident considering it had just started raining and having been in that position myself before i can sympathise fully and it seemed like a fantastic car that was tragic to have been involved in such a nasty accident.

I was meant to give a statement to police on tuesday but as i live quite a distance away they said they already had enough witnesses, and I only saw the car come to a stop in the middle of the road as I was driving towards melb high school.

So vicki and company i hope you are all ok and the accident doesn't stay with you for too long and you get another skyline as it looked as though it was a much loved beast!

cheers,

rod.w :)

i would like to thank you very much for your help and assistance on the other day...i was the guy in the front passenger seat...we are all generally ok...a fractured wrist and cuts to face which needed stitches seems to be the worst of the injuries.

i was actually wondering how i could find out who you guys were to thank you in person...maybe we could meet up some time, il buy you a drink!

once again, thanks. and everyone...pls drive safe in these wintery days

thnx alot rob

Milky:

I went past on my way home on Monday - and grabbed your bumper-bar and one of the foglamps - if you would like them as a memento they are in my garage :)

Glad you OK (and Sniffy too) - you are very lucky. The car must have been airborne to hit the tree so high up!

Sorry for poor quality of image - have bumped up the levels so you can see through the dark. Compare the height of my headlights to the height of the mark on the tree!

I have all these at higher resolution if anyone is interested.

Shows how easy something 'bad' can happen. Take lots of care out there.

Aw - Milky.

Don't let it get you down too much. Yes it was a lovely car, but it was just a car.

You are OK (and so are the others) - this is the important thing.

Some days 'life' just happens - you cannot predict what lies in store. You live to experience another day - whatever it brings. That's all part of the adventure. Hang in there :)

Boy - don't I sound philosophical :)

1st... glad to hear every1 is ok, you all did very well given the state of the car!

2nd... stick with the RAV4, as powerful cars don't seem to be 'your thing'

3rd... maybe sell the RAV4, and buy an early 80's falcodore?

It just goes to show that even skylines don't handle particularly well in the wet... 'specially after a couple of dry days, the road is JUST TOO GREASY!

P.S> the only reason i'm even being remotely stupid with points 2 and 3 is that sniffy is a ledgend the way he has approached the whole thing, everyone is ok and YOU HAVE TO GET OVER IT SOMETIME... ASAP!

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
