This morning on my way to work i was side swipped by a semitrailer, he didnt stop but as my car was still i running order i belted after and managed to pull him over.

he claimed he didnt notice anything which may be the case.

i was in the far left lane when the truck came speeding past on the right of me and his trailer veered over the lane and slammed into the drivers side of my car. ive never been so scared in my life.

the damage isnt to bad relatively speaking.

here are some pics:

i think im going to go buy one now lol. nah was on mona vale road. i thought i was going to die, f**k trucks have BIG wheels

Do you think maybe he just didn't like the sticker's on the side of your car ?!?! j/k

Glad you're OK and big bonus that you got him ! My old man got the same sort of treatment done to his Patrol but the trucky had a clean run and just kept going.

Go buy that lotto ticket !

Holy crap!!

You're lucky you werent wiped out completely!

I guess you got his details then? Truckies dont usually care about this sort of stuff.. The trucking company, or the business he works for will sort it all out. I had a truck roll back into me, and the company sorted it all out without a problem.

Glad you are ok :mad: It would of been scary

I always worry about Trucks they can squash you and wouldnt even feel it :):rofl:

I have seen whole side of cars taken apart from a truck not watching the road :huh:

Hope they pay for it and happy that its nothing major and is still driveable. ;)

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
