thanks for your expert opinion. we can tell you studied hard :P

Physics yea??? or was it back yard testing lol

Ive met dog shit thats smarter than you.....On the same token....ive also met plenty of "graduates"that dont even know what a 1/2 drive ratchet is.....excessive schooling usually ends up in working in mcdonalds...not to mention hard working tax payers like me funding austudy ect so that when you eventually get a job get holiday pay/sick leave/public holidays and so on.....bring back IR and weed out all the bludgers....the only reason that people didnt want it coz this country is full of them :D....now quit filling up his thread

Wait.... weren't going too fast, but downhill on a rainy road... and crashed when you turned. Hmmm

How much does your GF weigh?

Just J/K :P

lol, thats prob the first laugh I have done since, thanks :D

I still can't believe the amount of damage for such a slow hit, I guess it being the corner of the car it pushed things out a fair bit?

Dont know about the dog shit part being smarter that me thats a debatable factor.

But the rest you could possibly be onto something..

but im still interested into your knowledge on crashes... anything possibly tested in the backyard with a billy cart or something?

lets see.....tell me about your crash test?????The only think your missing is the yellow and black targets print on your body....you wouldnt know about making billycarts anyway.....you would have been playing with star wars action figures while i was making stuff for my pw50 race bike :P

Sorry to hear that mate. Really sucks. Been in an accident with my car before, never nice.

Ive actually been in a situation with my old Mazda 323 too. I was cornering and suddenly the rear kicked out. Now this is a 1986 1.6l automatic front wheel drive. I had no idea what to do and the car slid for a bit (probably not a bad drift) but because I overcorrected, ended up spinning it around the other way when it got traction and spinning out. Facing the opposite direction to traffic in the middle of stud road.

Now while I wasn't going slowly, I definately wasnt driving at excessive speeds and definately not taking the turn any faster than I had in the past. The rear just suddenly slid. It left like it slipped on something. Im almost certain there was some oil on the road or something, as for my old car to react that way, it wasn't normal. It gives you one hell of a shock, thats for sure. We just always need to remember that the roads themselves arent always a smooth surface and especially at night on road, it can be impossible to see dangers.

Hopefully it is fixed promptly for you. I had the body work done on my R33 by Imperial Finish Body Works on centre rioad in springvale and they were great. My best mate has used them several times. See Murray there. I let just cars choose the mechanic for repairs, and they chose Carrera Motors in Nunawading. Interesting story there, but thats for another time.

Sorri to hear that mate... Glad that you weren't hurt. One of my best mate died last year when his silvia crashed in to a power pole at low speed (not speeding, or drunk) around a corner in the wet. Just goes to show that you really don't have to be doing anything stupid and stuff like this happens.

damn....now im scared to drive my car in the wet :thumbsup:

Quality > width

Giddyup!

Theres a huge difference between good and bad when it comes to wet weather traction.

Never run cheap fronts...you'll always end up hitting a tree or something similar.

My bro's got cheapo chinese tyres on his commodore and I reckon you could push the car sideways in the wet and it would slide it's rediculous how bad the wet weather traction is.

sorry to hear about the car though that sucks ass, trees should be required to bend more :teehee:

That'd be the accident on Kent Ave, Croydon? I remember that, it was absolutely tragic :teehee: 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.

Sorry to hear that but good to be comp insured i guess because thats a fair bit of a hit you had.

i was driving the other day in the wet! let me say my tyres cost more than my rims =\ and i sliped out at the back doin about 10km/h

i was turning right at a T-intersection and it sliped up hill as i was making the turn doin 10km/h

i own a gts4 so im AWD and i sliped so comes to show anyting will in the wet.

after i was bored spo i walked to where i lost the back (it was about 600meters away from home) and saw on the slope of the road in the rain the roads are so sh!t that its making a mini waterfall of water, think the goverment should have built better roads.

i guess anyone on a sloped road keep this in mind because it was way in the back of my head before i checked it out

cheers, Andrew

    • 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.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
