I turned a corner at about 20k under (yes under) the speed limit.

Unbeknowns to me, there had been road works during the day and the speed limit had been reduced to 40, these signs had since been taken away.

Furthermore there had been an oil spill that day which was covered with sand/sawdust.

Unfortunately for me the signs had been taken away and the rain washed the sand/sawdust away so here i am travelling around a corner, with oil on the road, at night in the rain, going under the speed limit.

Long story short my car got intimate with a tree.

If i didn't have comprehensive insurance i would be suing the council/workers or SOMEONE for taking the speed signs and oil spill signs away.

But i do, and behind every cloud and all that... so now i'm in the market for a skyline i think (form a lancer :rant: ).

Don't know how much i have yet. Should find out soon. (by wednesday).

Anywho. Just wanted to vent my splein :( Thanks guys, (PS any suggestions on car to buy, looking at between 9-11k, 12k pushing it a bit). PS. i'm on my P's (but i did get them a year and a half ago so i can get a turbo car).

Thanks for listening! PS. i drive like a grandma so don't tell me i'm a hoon or deserve it please!

not really mate, cops will do you for power to weight ratio now if u had a turbo.

unfortubate what happened to your car.

if i was you get a non turbo skyline for now, and then in 18months bolt a turbo to the side of it. will save u all the headaches from the cops too.

see how u go

Just because a car has a turbo in it doesn't mean its over the power to weight ratio.

A 180sx turbo is fine, so is a r32 gtst (1991-1993 model 2 door) in my understanding.

No evidence ever gets shown for this on this forum though :rant:

I'll give vicroads a call tommorow to make perfectly sure.

Yeah, the insurance company would probably do all they could to get out of it, that's why i'm not gonna push the oil point, i mentioned it to them, and made a complaint to the council.

The thing is, i don't want some long, dragged out investigation where i don't see my money for like a year. I need a car for uni.

But yeah, pretty sure i'll be getting a 32-gtst :D I'm hoping for exhaust and maybe front and side grill/skirts, anything else would be a bonus.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
