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.

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
