Bugger.. especially when its so easy to ring an insurance company and get a cover note that covers the car instantly.

If it is a written off he will no doubt be selling parts off it. I'm after a few interior bits, drop me a pm and I'll forward my number or vice versa.

Wow that sucks but sorry to say, stupidity paid a big part here, he just has to learn a lesson from it; albeit an expensive one!

Hope he's alright however, I know what it feels like to lose a car, happened to my first R33 when someone cleaned me up on the way to work :D

Yes it was. Friend is a member of R31 club... and he mentioned it on there.....

Wonder if he's liable for the phone box? Police involved at all?

nar think he drove the car off so cops didnt get there fast enough, but yeh went around and had a look at the dmg its not written off but hes bought the parts to fix it and in total costs about $2500-3000 so he must be peaking, ah well, yeh he had the car for about 5 hours i think. :domokun:

Man whenever I buy a car I take it really easy until you know the limits. I don't think I took it for a proper thrash in the hills for about a month after I bought it.

Guess he will learn big time from that mistake.

The thing is these cars have a higher limit than almost all the drivers on here have ability.

Not good At all. This is the reason why I wont drive my car till its insured.

even though this is slighty off topic. anyone know of some nice big roads without many cops, for newbies to take out something with some power, to not end up like this driver?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By MBS206 · Posted

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
