Just saw a Black R33 crash into a truck on the intersection at Boundary rd and Beaudesert Rd at about 4.10pm,

not sure of plates or anything, i heard tyres screeching and turned around as i was going the oppostie way,

I think the 33 had a green light but not %100, the front of the 33 hit straight into the side of the truck, it looked pretty bad...

Don't know if he's a member or not, hope no1's hurt...

i bet the media now goes and turns this into some crap about hooning and crap

Oh you've gotta remember without trucks Australia stops blah blah blah whatever that crap is most have on the back of them. Completely sick of them ruining roads and causing accidents. Even if thats not what happened in this case)

Hope all passengers are alright though.

For a long time I used to work at Acacia Ridge and came back through Archerfield to go home. Every single day with absolutly no exceptions going to and from work I would see a truck doing something retarded. I really wouldn't be surprised if the truck had a red light, they always try to cut the orange at the last second. It's usually long been green before the truck finally gets through.

i do agree that a lot of trucks throw around their weight, but i wouldnt paint them all with the same brush,

it happened really quick but if i saw correctly i think the 33 had a green, im assuming the truck took a run through a late yellow light.

that said, i think the 33 should have been able to see the truck as there seemed to be a fairly clear road for it, again i wasnt on that side of the road so could be wrong, but hope all is well for the driver

I am not a fan of truck drivers, i do respect them for driving long hours delivering goods to different states

but driving like a tool and taking speed to stay awake is f**kin pathetic.

the pic is one of the reasons i dont like them.

the pic showed, is what happens when you are stopped at a set of traffic lights when they are RED, and a tip truck behind you doesnt see them or you.

Resulting in a truck going 70kmh up your arse. My father who was in the driver seat went unconscious instantly, with the roof colliding with his head.

I (so lucky) was able to witness (in the passenger seat) the whole flipping of the car twice then running into a resturant on the side of the road.

I happened to have no cuts, no bruises and the bumper bar just missing my arm.

Through the police, we found out that the driver of the truck, his excuse was he was unfamiliar with the area. FARKEN BULLSHIT. Thats when you should be MORE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS.

step dad went past at about 5.30, said the cops and a firetruck were just leaving, must have taken a while to clear

baz - shit me man, can only thank god (im not exactly a believer) that it wasnt worse, i think that truck drivers get stupid when they start taking awakening pills/speed and so on, then it jus becomes a rolling dath trap

i was at the intersection when it happened.. i am pretty sure the truck ran thru a red light. the whole front end was pretty much gone, people ran out to the middle of the road and got the driver out.. from what i saw the driver was alright... i spose just stunned and shocked more than anything.

Very lucky guy.

Baz, when you first showed me that pic of Nellie's car, i was still shaking a day later. It still gives me the shivers looking at that pic! So glad you and Den Den go out of it alive! You were both extremely lucky! I've also been hit by a truck (prime mover), in my old bluey which wrote it off, but as your dad said, the damage on my bluey had nothing on your Mazda 2! The driver of the prime mover that hit me, said he didn't see me and merged into the side of me, causing my car to spin, hit a 4wd and then get wedged against the guard rail on the ippy motorway, facing oncoming peak hour traffic, in the rain. I've got my lucky stars to thank that i wasn't hit head on and that the traffic had actually stopped. The worst thing is inconsiderate bastards who beep the horn at you and/or abuse you for holding up traffic. It's not like i planned to park my car there!!!

Hope the driver of the black 33 is ok. It's not wagamama's old 33 by any chance is it??? That's the only other black 33 i know of, other than Adam and Noel's.

Though i go out of my way to torment and terrorize trucks at every opportunity simply because the bastards think they are the only ones with deadlines to meet I manage to avoid coming in to contact with them to the best of my ability. To date i have been succesful. :D

Classic example....The other day. Working on the car and running out of time. head out for a test run, stop at the lights behind 2 trucks in 2 lanes. road diverges to single lane about 1 k ahead. f**kers hogged both lanes and prevented any of the large lineup of cars from gaining a clear road ahead. I made it my business to overtake and drive at a very leisurely pace accompanied by flashing headlights, horn blasting, wild gesticulation whilst lazy bastard and i just dawdled along and laughed and waved at the f**ktards.

My other fave is the arsehole truckies in the Ippy motorway. They hold the righthand lane and block up the works all the way to the Warwick bypass then force their way in to the left lane so they can take the road to Warwick. I maneuvre to get in the left lane beside them and then hold the pricks out from turning on to the warwick road. They try speeding up, slowing down etc etc but i eventually force them up brisbane road in to Ipswich. f**kem, they want to inconvenience me they can have it back. Hit my car, couldnt give a root, they are paying for it.

as funny as that story is, i hope you don't end up like some of the other stories that have been mentioned here where the car was munched by the truck

At my age i dont care as much as i used to dude. One of these arseholes high on speed killed my lifetime friends son. I have less than zero respect for them.

man, thats silly forcing the trucks through Ipswich just endangers more lives. i can't believe your boasting about trying to piss of all truckies. I can understand you would be very angry at the dickhead that killed your mate however.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.

      @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html

      These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.

      The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.

      It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
