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 ;)

hey guys.. just got back from the hosp.. ended up being only a whiplash so yeah all good.. hopefully nothing turns out later on..

had to bloody wait in the emergency department for 2 1/2 hours :teehee: damn that was long..

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.

hmm.. im not sure if its exceeded 500 bucks.. the repair of the car is gonna cost 300 and my medical fee is about 140 i think.. joondie emergency department.. so u guys reckon i should go and make a police report? like.. should i inform the lady that im gonna make a report? or just go and make it without her knowing..

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

Yay for demo derby buddies, hit my head a few times on the roll cage myself. But i was smart and booked into a chiro that monday :(

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***

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
