So guess who's supra got rear-ended around 6pm on king georges road today?

The guy wasnt just drunk, he was 100% shitfaced. Ive seen drunks before (from working in pubs when i was younger) and this guy was DRUNK!!!

He hit me with a kombi - the kombi included a smallish bullbar.

The driver was a total bogan with a huge beard about 8 inches long.......with heaps of mucas and *stuff* in it

I approached him with my licence to get details etc (knowing id done nothing wrong) and he refused to give his details, so straight to hurstville police station, the police were very helpful which was good, but they got called off to a robbery and i have to go back in a few hours after thats all sorted out.

So he's;

Rear ended my car

Refused to give his details

Drunk

Only driving with parking lights on (well past sunset)

What a f**king loser. Moral of the story? Dont drive drunk, cause when this guy gets the bill (and the charges the police want to get him on) he wont be happy

Sounds like he's going to be an absolute pain in the ass to get money off.

I hate douche bags like that, just like people who hit parked cars and drive off.

Sorry to hear

lol... i remember those cartoon things (in ur avatar) from years ago.. what were they called again? GRUGS lol. just spotted it under ur avatar.

haha ahhh primary school

I saw a bloke the other day .. Drunk as a skunk .. Driving screaming "blow baby" into his portable breathaliser.. Then hanging out the window at me screaming.. "im an alco mate.. im a f**ken alco"

Of course my r34 backed far away from him.. Knowing my luck if I called the police id be f**ked over for using my phone ..

Unlucky Steve-o.I wouldn't have left the scene and insisted that the police send a patrol car to the crash. This evening I saw one highwya patrol car, one undercover HP car and a paddywagon fly through traffic like there was a full scale emergency. They ended up stopping on the M4 at Mays Hill for only a minor car accident.

Hopefully he ends up being the owner of the car and the police can actually find him.

do you have insurance for the supra? if so just call them and let them deal with the arse monkey. cause if you are trying to get him to pay you personally for the damage you have a better chance of growing a third testicle. even if you waste lots of your own time in court and win they will just direct him to pay. he may then chose not too or even worse he may have no money anyway. so my advice is if your not insured give up now and just accept you're footing the bill. i know it sounds defeatist but the amount of time you'll waste on this is not worth the few thou in repair costs. :blink:

I second that.

Last year a drunk woman drove her car into my door exiting the carpark of a pub, leaving an impression like an angle grinder on my passenger side. Luckily the pub workers saw this and knew the woman responsible but didn't get the license plate.

She then refused to give me her details as she was uninsured and couldn't afford to fix my car. Went to my insurance company and provided them with a written statement from one of the workers declaring what had happened. My insurance company told me I had to have her registration before they could agree to fix my car and I ended up finding out her whereabouts(drunk people talk too much) and staking out her house to get her rego plate :( Meanwhile this woman responsible fled to New Zealand!! It took another month of getting people down to inspect the car but in the end they waved my excess and sued her for the money while they paid to have my car fixed. They could very well still be trying to get the money out of her to this day for all I know.

I really hope you're insured mate because I went through all that with insurance, I'd hate to try it any other way. Seriously bad luck for you and I hope everything works out ok.

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
