That'd be the accident on Kent Ave, Croydon? I remember that, it was absolutely tragic :( Terrible piece of road in the wet, it was only a matter of time before it happened.

To the thread starter - sorry to hear about your accident but good to hear you're comprehensively insured. It does look like a fair amount of damage.

yes it was.. fortunately the passenger, another mate of mine survived. yes that blind corner is pretty bad. i was at the pole putting flowers up a few days later and while at the pole could just tell by the way cars were taking that bend that it isnt the best stretch to go down.

i now drive like an old grandpa in the wet :bunny:

please take care on the wet roads guys ;)

Thats if it isn't a write off, in a way it would be better to be.

edit: So you n Matt taking me and my gf to midnight cruise or what? :woot:

ahaha nah man, i aint going to the midnight cruise - 5 hours is too long for a drive for me.....

Well i got called up today by just car (they have been really helpful btw) and they told me the car is a write off and the accessor will call me tomorrow to organize payments and stuff i guess.

Written off...geez, If that was an old Valiant or similar you'd get out the black texta, write "ouch" on it and keep driving. Damn mono-coque chassis/shells, they save weight but the can't take a 15kph tap.

Don't forget....quality tyres before anything else, no point in having a nice car that won't turn in wet/greasy conditions.

get a r34 4 door. sorry to hear man. driving in the rain can be scary.the thing i always do is if the road has a overtaking lane go into that because the water runs off them so the right lane will be better with no puddles and a safer drive. thank god i have good tyres i have pirellis (i think thats how you spell it). at least your fine thats the main thing cause cars can be replaced and people cant.

Dude that sucks, hope you get is sorted soon.

My R34 GTR was written off coz some scum people broke into it and damaged it beyond belief

-Brad

Geez! That's exactly what I'm scared of. For a 34 GTR to be a write-off.... they must have done like 60k damage without even starting the engine. What did they do? Burn it?

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
