Well today my car got side swiped while i was at uni by what looks like optimus prime.

Bastard didn't leave any details, which shits me as i'm up for replacing 2 doors and a rear quarter panel. Luckily, however it was on a common-whore not on a skyline but give it a week or two and it could have been :D .

Second bit of bad news car was going to get sold this sunday.

Just thought i'd rant on here for some sympathy from strangers and optimus if your reading this F U.

Thanks for the sympathy guys booked it in today to get fixed. Said i'd supply the doors and asked when he could do it. So he said whjen you get the doors get back to me. 20 minutes later i came back with doors should be fixed by wednesday. total of 1250 repaired and colour matched. Sad thing is two people with cash offered to come pick it up this weekend. Oh well it happens

would anyone here actually leave there details if they hit another car, assuming that know body else saw you, i'm sure most of us would just drive off.

Unless you hit some bomb of a car.. Or someone you didn't like.. maybe drive off

Otherwise leave a note, right thing to do.

Shouldn't have to worry about it anyway as it doesn't happen often.

I can see why he didn't. And lets face it we all would think about driving off.

It's alright hopefully this whole Karma thing will work out and one day he and his whole family will be driving down the road chanting "o'doyle rules" and there will be a banana peel and those of you who know billy madison will know how it ends.

I course I'd leave a note. People need to be responsible for their actions.

    • 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.
