Not a mod.

Hit and run.

There are several four letter words Id like to type. But I dont want to risk banning.

Im devistatd to say the least. Its taken me several hours to build up the courage to see the full extent in day light.

Only about a month after spending $500 odd on GTR bonnet, latch and grille. And only one week after I got on top of my general maintanence (ABS unit, grease bushes, brake pads, brake fluid, oil temp gauge, oil change, oil filter, petrol fuel lines changed etc.)

Damage done:

Bent GTR Bonnet + deep scratching (perhaps may be bent back)

Bent and chipped paint Guard (perhaps can be bent back)

Shattered GTR Grille

2 x Headlights

2 x Blinkers

GTST Front bar

GTST Reo bar

Bent GTR bonnet latch

I fear that the radiator support my be damged too.

I dont think Im going to se get the insurance company involved. Its a $2500 excess. Money that I can take to spend myself on rebuilding. Im trying to put a positive spin on it by buying a Finnal Konnexion front bar, GTR N1 head lights, GTR blinkers and GTR front quarter pannels. Straighten GTR Bonnet, Carbon fibre GTR grill. But its an eye wateringly large amount of money I shouldnt have to spend cos some f*$king toss bag on red P's decided to come in too quick into a round about, and understeer/lock up and plow into me!

Sorry to hear about that mate

I was pissed off enough on Wednesday when someone hit my car and left without leaving a note.

I would hate to think how I would be if that happened to me

Gets worse.

F*ckin rails are bent!

Any one know what that means?

5K+ at least to fix. Or. ay the excess, get the money and some man in a suite takes my lovely awy from me.. ;)

I want to meet the man that ran into me..

sorry about the blue stuff on the number plates....its just i have these posted up on more public places and i just use them whenver i post pics up of my car :P

also: i feellll sooooo sorry for the guy who got hit and runned......thats gay man...usually i think im in controll of things like that..like i dont park anywhere unless i know the area (schoool) or the ppl (friends house) or i just dont park ther for long at all (in and out of coles etc)......and im carefull when i drive because of insurance ($3000 ex)....but a hit and run....fark man didnt think about that ay...cant do much if ur car comes out second best.....

also i just recently took the fog lights out(came with car from jap).....looks mean...post pics when i get some :D

you know that's the weird thing Cris. these rims make the car seem a lot higher than what it actually is.

there was about 120mm clearance with my sparco rims, the nismo's have the same rolling diameter so really the height shouldn't have changed.

see how the skirts go, if not i can always drop down 1 or 2 circlips on the bilsteins.

what diameter are the wheels? they look tuff tho.. and what skirts did you buy? theyl make the car look lower no doubt..photos dont do mine justice either, looks alot lower in real life

thanks - i'll try to get some high res pics later today.

the rims are 17 x 8.5, running 235s 595SS on them now. hopefully will have some 595RS semis to put on them at the end of the year. they are so amazingly light, makes me nervous driving them around.

p.s. - love the silhouette with those LMGT2 rims!!! hot!!

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
