goday guys, its been a while since ive been on here and here is my story

Working shif work has its benefits but can be a pain in the ass as well

Its was 3am i was going to work, pitch black on the road, low visability, driving to the airport on the backstreets of craigieburn when out of no where jumps a kankaroo on the middle of the road

was going a little over 100k and came to a complete stop in about 5 seconds, into a fence and a pile of rocks. Car is totalled need a whole new front end

Dont know now if its time to move on from the skyline range or bite the bullet and repair it

didnt have full insurance so i have to fork out the money anyways

life can suck at times :cool:

Yes I easliy could have been wrapped along a tree and infused into the fence so I am lucky in that sence.

I also understand that the car will never be the same again

The angle im looking at here is that for around the 5g mark I should be able to restore the car to around the original condition as opposed to having to spend 10-15g again

here are some shots of the car

yeah man i only had third party

ive had the car about 5 years and they wanted far too much for full insurance, its amasing how insurance companies can charge high premiums for a car over 13 years old now. It didnt make sence to me

Looks to me like we are forced to buy aussie made cars just so our insurance isnt as high, but the simple fact is that aussie made just just do not drive like the imported stuff !!

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
