Was driving my sister home from Freo last night coming down South Street past Coats Hire towards Stock road.

A cop car had blocked the far left lane and had a fully laided double B road train in front of it. Moving into the right hand lane to go around I saw why it had happened.

The Road train had mounted the kerb and gone across the verge into a side street taking out a brand new 911. The roof of the car was 5 feet in the air and the a pillar was where the gear stick should have been.

I don't see how the prosche driver could have survived. Really sad as he had no chance.

I've seen a lot of major prangs but this one was unbelievably bad.

I know a guy who's Dad brought him a 200SX. Flying down the road on a wet day and sliding sideways into a tree he killed himself and 2 others and the surviving one has his legs amputated from the knees down. That was really sad.

I saw 2 bad crashes on Armadale rd yesterday (thu) morning on the way to work.... one involved some little red car like an old barina or soemthing. was fully masshed and the roof was cut off...i assume the firebrigade did this to get the person out.

Didnt look like they could have survived it! but i havent heard anything on the news so hopefully they did. Makes you slow down but!

Seen a mates car this morning sideways in some bushes. Seems his g/f was driving, booted it around a round'about it kicked LSD and 180 degree spun up the kirb and plowed into the buhes on the opposite direction they were originally travelling. Mmmm, not good, they are ok and they were lucky how well the car came out of it. Still has some big dents though. Smashed front bumper too.

witnessed my mate put his dads jag xk8 ~$200k car into a lightpole... outside applecross maccas, was only at about 30km/h, spun it round in the wet (traction control off ;)) and poled it. got out a bit shaken, but thats all. oh and damage was $60k worth :( somebody sent these pics into fastfours mag and it was featured in there... no idea who, it wasn't any of my mates.

oooooooohhhhhhhhhh so its just a feature. It just came with the car, wasnt something i was choosing. Besides sensing these 2 features, can it be used in any other way. Well my active lsd light always turns on when I start driving, but slip turns on when I'm hooning. Do i have to be concern abut the active lsd light always on? thanks

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
