I think most people that know me know of my totally awesome dyno queen of a wagon that had to be jacked onto the RE dyno cos it was too low :( Anyway just when she was running nicley with the new engine and all the replacement engine bay bits this happens :huh: The other car turned right through the intersection infront of me and didn't give way, braked and swerved but still hit him square in the back wheel, mashed my car but his only had a few scratches. Suppose at least I did swerve and didn't hit him in the doors, could have been alot worse for his passenger.....

Anyway piccies and a squashed pod :(

ouch mate. are u ok??? nasty damage there. at least he/she was the one at fault

yeah its all ok (i was the passenger).

The crash was like a lesson on exactly the right thing to do during a traffic collision. Both parties were fairly calm, which is good it was a biiiig hit tho...

no one was hurt.

Atleast now you can take the money and buy a skyline, in fact now you can buy anything but a dunnydoor, my hatred of commodores dos'nt show does it?

Hopefully you were insured atleast.

Yeh the other car was a company car so insurance shouldn't be too much of a problem, hopefull I don't get stooged and get a decent payout considering i've just spent so much money on it. Anyway just waiting for a call from his insurance company today and we'll see how it goes.

P.S. If anyones got a shitter for sale I need something to get me to work and back for the time being. Think I might save up a bit more money and buy a discovery :)

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
