ill keep this as basic as i can so not too much info is leaked out but ive heard different stories from different people and thought i needed to set things straight.

the first car went past and hit 'it'. i was the 2nd car and i saw it pretty clearly and steered clear and pulled over to help out the people in the first car. everyone knows what happened to the 3rd car.

everyone is fine.

cheers guys, and thanks to everyone that helped.

p.s. we went to check it out today and people had been there before and stripped a few parts off it. the deck and equalizer, e-way tag, steering wheel and battery.

A bad night for all involved.

Let me say this once, anyone talking specifics will have their posts deleted. Skylines have a bad enough image in the general publics eye, and eventhough the best efforts were made to avoid what happened, it did happen, and after shows like TodayTonight etc running almost weekly "hoon" stories this can easily be misunderstood and cast a bad shadow on us as a community. The only thing to come out of this whole event is that it doesnt matter how safe you think you are, you are not safe and anything can happen out there. Be careful. We dont want anymore "hoon" stories on the TV targeting imports.

No one was charged with ANYTHING on the night by police as the police agreed none of the drivers were at fault and we were lucky no one was hurt any worse than they were (all parties are now fine).

The only image this will bring is bad, which of course is some publicity we all dont need (notice all comments that are too direct have been deleted from the public areas).

Cheers

-Steve :nuke:

Edit: Imports dont need any more crap from the police/uneducated public than we already have so please keep in mind what ive said above.

Good thing that everyone was sticking to the speed limit.

i hardly think that censoring the issue is a good idea for future reference?

it there any particlar reason

no one did anything wrong as stated..

Easy - because the public wont believe what happened, and will think "bloody hoons" etc

We arent censoring the whole issue, hence this thread. The group made a decision and we are sticking by it - no details on a public forum. Surely you can understand that?

yeah i thought the same thing. To me censoring makes it look really suss...but thats just me, if you censor it you get like joe said, people spread stories that may not be true instead of knowing the facts.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
