ok as topic says, last night bout 11:30, coming upto nth east road, near north adelaide, we saw a 34 being put onto a tow truck.

We decided to do a u turn and go have a better look, the whole drivers side was gone - like pushed half way in and the front window was smashed and roof was cut open, i seriously dont know if the driver couldve survived that. Looks like it just crumpled around a stoby pole.

Was a silver 2 door, plates started with XLO or similar

Anyone else see it or know anything about it?

Bak on topic....

Yeah I was there just after it happened, driver was a bald headed guy with a dark goatee. The car was badly wrapped around a stobie pole and there was no visible skid marks or other damaged cars so I think he did it all by himself.

The ambos used two sets of 'Jaws of life' to cut the guy out which is why the whole side was opened up flick!

Hope all are ok but the car was pretty stock lookin with a set of enkei? or some such rims... dunno if it was anyone from the forum?

Thought of leeman or evil34 at first which is why we stopped.

..... Now back to the topic at hand! Obviously i hope the guy is ok, but in reality he must have been doing something stupid, as i assume he wasn't T-boned by someone else and then bang into the stobbie! Hope he doesnt buy another Line........ or if he does he has learn from his life changing situation!

sounds like someone lost control, perhaps, on a slippery bit of road. over corrected and slammed into a fixed object, at speed. not good. I sincerely trust they are ok.

also sounds like some ppl (edit: read everyone!!) perhaps should deal with a load of debilitating pain at some stage in their life, more sympathy and thought may then be shown in regards to responding to posts. although I, and Im sure black32 agrees with me on this, wouldnt wish that on anyone. please think about the person you are replying to. its fairly common knowledge that black has suffered from a bad back injury, requiring heavy painkillers which can infact alter your mood. "trust me" I know.

if you are in a lot of pain, not feeling good about yourself, it doesnt take much to rub you up the wrong way. I think black32 here presents himself admirably, in regards to his particular circumstances.

ignore me, Im rambling. better then drooling tho. :(

edit: apologies for my stupid post. but meh. thats me.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
