Hey guys,

Yesterday, when i was on scarborough beach road.. i was rammed from behind by a lady driving a honda accord.. i was in my gf's accord thankfully.. the situation is pretty much when there was a car in front of me by a few cars had to turn right, he had to stop and everyone else behind him including me stopped and waited.. then the lady admitted she was daydreaming and rammed pretty hard onto the accord.. the damage is not severe, but the impact was hard. My car was static and when the point of impact, her car was probably doing like 30-35kph.. stuffs that were behind near the back speakers flew to the front..

I noticed a bit of a neck pain a few hours after the accident.. and decided to see if it got worse after i slept.. and it did.. now it seems to be getting worse, im getting giddy.. and theres a small lump on my neck.. Anyone working in the medical field here that may have some advice for me? My sis is a doc in melb and she recommends me to go see a doctor and probably get an xray to get it checked out..

Its just a phobia that i had after my mom told me her colleague died.. her car was parked.. and a car just nudged her slightly from behind.. she didnt feel anything.. and a few days later she passed away from internal bleeding.. :)

Please advise..

you cant be serious can you?

your sister is a doctor, and she told you to see one, and you know of someone who died from a similar scenario who didn't see a doctor...

i'd be down the emergency ward right now, they will likely put you in a neck brace and perform x-rays.

Slowpoke, go see a doctor asap!

because the accident was not your fault, you can get all the money back on what it cost you. Also you can get compensation, depending on your injuries etc...

best to contact your girlfriends insurance company and explain what happen and they will be to tell you what to do. Also if you havn't made a police report i suggest you go and do one.

Basically if your unsure about anything go see and doctor and if your unsure about what you can get from the accident in terms of payments contact the insurance company ;)

hoper everything works out :P

yeh guys im gonna go see the doctor now in joondie hosp.. hopefully nothing serious.. i didnt make a police report yet because the damage was quite little.. only 300 bucks to fix up the rear bumper.. everything else is fine.. thats why she didnt want to go thru the hassle of insurance coz it may cost more with excess and blah blah blah..

Ill see how much the medical fees are and if they are pretty high ill inform the lady that im gonna make a police report and make a claim with insurance.. Best of luck to me :)

Ill keep you all updated when i come back

Harden up. I was a passenger in a demo-derby a couple of years ago, more crashes in half an hour than a lot of you put together :) including a headon at a combined speed of ~90kmh (that one hurt!).

Not something that I'd do again.. I do feeling slightly stupider for it ;)

Go make a police report!

regardless of how it seems now, just in case it turns out to be a bad case of whiplash.. If there's no report, there's no proof!

2 1/2 hrs iis nothing, try being here in Alice. I have waited 6 hrs in A&E..!

I still can't beleive you got on here before going to the doctor after you sis told you to........

Hope all is ok for you.

So you guys think i should go make a police report even though the lady wants to settle this personally? Yeah i think thats the best option isnt it? Cause just in case in the future it turns out to be worse damage i can still claim cause i made a police report right?

Cheers

Making a polcie report doesn't mean she has to go through her insurance agency. It just means you have a record of what happened, an official police record. The longer you leave it the more suspect any claims become.

P.S. harden up :D

Edit: I got stung like this many years ago, rubbed some bitchs' bumper, a crack about 20mm long and a bit of scuffed paint the size of a 50c piece.. didn't make a report as it was fk all. About 6 months later the bitch was taking me to court (in Mandurah of all places.. we both lived NOR) for smashed lenses, new reo, new bumper. I fought it but still, was a major hassle. I put it down to the fact she likely reversed into a pole in a carpark and blamed it on me.

I got rear ended by a jerk in a BMW while i was stopped to turn.

My celica needed $4.5k repairs but I could drive it home . The beemer was almost written off, the headlight was sittin on his wheel. He jumps out and asks if I had my indicators on, "Of course, and my brakes and I was stationary". A dude from RACQ was drivin past and saw it so he helped me get all the details sorted out. Had pretty bad whiplash, but made a police report and called insurance co. Luckily I wasnt hurt seriously, if I'd had my head turned it would have been a broken neck for sure. Tell insurance company and police asap, or the woman might try and screw you over. It may cost more to fix than you think....

Spot on Bubba; while she has admitted liability there is nothing to say that her story wont change and insurers become involved. It is possible but unlikely that the neck injury you sustained may not cause you later grief, it's just not worth the risk.I'm sure that your are leaglly bound to report vehicle incidents over a something like $500. Without a report its pretty much a she said, he said deal. Although the blame for be rear ended would more often than not fall on the driver in the rear vehicle...suprise butt sex is never fun.

because the accident wasn't your fault, your medical fee's should be cover.

you don;t have to inform the lady but i think it would be nice too

it refers to total damage to both ars so if yours is 300 and hers is 200 there goes 500 so a report has to be filled in

even so i would report it even if it was less damage

it covers your a***

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
