Followed too close to the back of another car and or had a bad reaction time to braking...

For warning: I have a hunch that this topic may go nasty, so let this be a for-warning that if this topic slides towards personal attacks and or the event that this damage occured on then this thread will be closed...

Call me psychic but id prefer to pre-warn... :mellow:

ok, there was sufficiant spacing, however the line infront of me had to end up slamming his brakes on, as he said to me the car infront of him had to, and by the time i reacted (as i was checkin my mirrors) i was pretty close and was down to about 10 odd km when i impacted.

Ian, rung insurance they seem pretty kool, but due to the excess ($1900) i'm gonna see if i can do it all for cheaper and avoid having a claim against my name. Got a mate who is lookin at seeling his GTR bar so thats good, and i'll see if it's cheaper to get a new bonnet or reapir that one and go from there, and i'm gonna try and sweet talk the welders at work to see if they can weld the top of the fmic on for me

so you had left sufficient space, but it wasn't enough to stop in time?

It was everyone else i was thinking about Mort... :mellow:

Let me state it for everyone else. He understands he was too close and that this was the fault of the accident. But it was just that an accident and he is taking care of the car that was damaged. So eveyone should be happy about it, he has taken the right attitude towards the accident and he will learn from the situation.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
