So I was driving home from work tonight with my mate driving behind me. We stop as the traffic banks up and some inattentive female driver rear ends him at probably near on 60km/h.

So as a result my mates car ends up in the rear of mine.

The part that really annoys my car was extremely clean with hardly a car park ding on it. Now it's effed.

I came out the best damage wise but its still pretty annoying. Boot's been pushed in, rear bumpers obviously knackered and the fuel tank's been pushed into the HICAS unit... that's about it really.

Photos don't do justice for either cars but here's some anyway...

Free tow so why not:

sorry to hear man, wat car did ya mate have?? and wats damage on that like??

He had the WRX in the pic. Front and rear damage. The back's pretty messed up, it could go either way ie write off/repaired.

Spewing dude, sorry to hear!!

Thought there would be more damage to the rex for a 60kmh crash, held up quite good i think!!

Yeah it held up well. My mate copped a face full of steering wheel but he's ok.

But as I said the pics don't really do justice.

Yeah I'll have to call them tomorrow and see what the deal is. I was stationary and my mate in the WRX was stationary so I think it's all the girl at the rear's fault.

But she admitted fault so alls good.

Man what is it with boneheads these days? thats the 3rd skyline i know of thats been rear ended in the last 7 days

-D

That's so harsh - I feel for you Andrew. And to be hit by your mate of all people (albeit not his fault). How did he hit the steering wheel though? After the whiplash off his head going back then hitting your car and it flinging forward? Whatever happened, wouldn't be nice - hope both of your backs are okay.

All bets are she was on the mobile smsing.

My sister is a culprit for this and driving home from work I often see (not generalising) but women driving in their little buzz box's swerving all over the road as they sms. If I see a bloke swerving he's usually trying to smoke a pipe or something lol

My sister recently went up the arse of a car doing 60km/h; stuffed her back (squished discs), cracked her sternum and can't remember the accident. Car was unbelievably written off. Not the first time either; been up the arse of other cars 2 other times; both while playing with the damn phone.

When I was at Uni; a middle aged lady used to pull out in front of me at the same time every day on the mobil phone and then not accelerate; i mean literally pull out in front so that it was either swerve or brake hard. I swear she never looked.

haha my little rant. My sis has pissed me off; I hope she has learnt.

sorry to hear mate.

I can't believe that I drive my car all day every day for work, do around 30,000km a year, and WANT to be rear-ended, and no-one will do it. FYI I backed into a stobey pole a year and a half ago and bent my boot/bumper/light and want someone else to pay for it to be fixed :laugh:

ah that sux sorry to hear man Joel beat me too it, my guess was mobile phone

though occasionally it does happen like to me tonight was last car to go through a green light as it changed so accelerated and not even through the intersection and everyone starts braking had to jam on the brakes this was Tappley Hill rd that might explain thick traffic still i didn't run up the back of anyone or wasn't on the phone

Yeah I'll have to call them tomorrow and see what the deal is. I was stationary and my mate in the WRX was stationary so I think it's all the girl at the rear's fault.

But she admitted fault so alls good.

Sorry to hear :laugh:

I know how it feels. Not being big-headed, but my 33 was one of the cleanest I know when I got it. Then some bitch rear ended me not paying attension and my car was declared a write off, but then repaired... don't ask, just cars...

It never looked the same from behind :( especially the bumper, still doesnt sit right with no gaps.

Some may remember my pics I posted?

Jack

I had a mate who just rear ended another car and made a three car smash just like this one and the rule is he pays for both cars to be fixed so you should have some good news and she will have some expensive news.

It is always hard to see you baby hurt :laugh: Sorry to hear mate.

aww man what a pain in the asss looked like a really clean 33 :laugh: just say ur boot was carbon fiber and your tail lights were led.... oh and u had a really nice after market rear bar.... free upgrades....

the best of luck and yes she is 100% in the wrong so she will be baying for both cars... or her sinsurance will be.

    • 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.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
