Hey guys i was invloved in a nasty acco with my skyline yesterday i was t boned coming out of a t intersection the other bloke was doing about 60 km a hour when he hit me. I can't remeber shit coz i was knocked out cold. But i went back there today and there where no lock up marks till where old mate hit me. This bit of road its not uncomman for people to do 70km in this 60 zone, so it was quite posible that i just misjudged the blokes speed and cut in front of him. But the marks are really weird coz his tyre marks start after where he would have hit me and they run up the gutter and just nudged the telegraph pole. So he oversely did not see me. which is hard because there is shit loads of visson there. So my question is is the other bloke gonna be hit with a fine also or is the sole blame going to be placed onto me. I can't argue with anyone becasue i was knocked out and can't rember i will try and get some pics up in the next couple of days

fine? depends. If cops came to the scene, could give neg driving to both drivers. If cops were ther & you were injured, they may ramp neg driving up to drive in a manner dangerous (inflicting harm or something). If no cops were at the scene, I seriously doubt any fine/penalty, other than insurance.

If you were out cold & taken to the hospital, they would have taken your blood, as a matter of course if you are in a MVA. They should give you a vile sample too. Hope you haven't been drinking, as it could be you who has the explaining to do.

Just glad nothing worse happened, though concussion is pretty f**ked up, & your memory just prior to the event may be gone, retrospective amnesia.

cops where there, ambos cut me out of the car and i was in hospital for most of the day. I realy can't see them charging me if neg it should only be something like not giving way corsing a acco or something and i rarely drink anyways. last time i drank was 3 weeks ago lol

As far as I know when ever cops give penalties for MVA's the first thing is neg driving regardless of anything as there was some form of negligence on the parties at fault to cause the accident. Then the penalties roll on from that depending on the circumstances such as drinking blah blah blah

its hard to explain what happened. I can't see myself pulling out infront of a van i say what would have happen is that i have seen him at the last sec and stoped just before i entered the intersection and his tryed to avoid me but in the process acutally colected me full on by trying to duck in behind me who knows.

we need more info mate. was it at a set of lights? did you have a stop sign? or a give way sign? did he have one? were you turning lef? or right? or was it a 4 way intersection where you were going straight? was he going straight or turning too?

it was at a t intersection with a give way sign i was turning right and the other bloke was coming down the hill to my right. There was plenty of visson i will post up some photos tomorrow which show it pritty clearly. His skid marks only start after the spot where he hit me its wired like i said kinda hard to explain to

shiet~! wat an idiot to coming speeding down like that, musta been speeding for sure if there was such a big gap and he suddenly hit you whilst u were turning.

Gotta be careful in situations like this, it'd be your fault for making careless decisions.

However, if he was speeding its 100% his fault!

So im pretty sure if you could explain to the cops that the other person was speeding, it'll be at his fault.

:D

cant coppers tell if he was speeding by judging the scene of the accident? like the tyre marks, positioning of the cars etc?

Did you have the give way sign or did he? like others have said if he was speeding his fault, but if you had give way and he is found not to have been then your fault. Really depends on evidence because its not what you know its what you can prove at the end of the day.

Sucks tho, glad you werent hurt to much... is the line a write off? t-bones usually are arent they...

Yeah i say it is a write off the driver side looks like its pushed in pritty bad and the roof is pushed up to i will know tomorrow when i speak to the smash repairer i say its 95 % likely.

i had the give way sign. the tyre marks start where he would have hit me and that was behind the stop line its almost if he swung to miss me becasue he was thinking i was gonna cut infront of him but instead cleaned me up becaue i stoped and than hit the ankers after he hit me. WIERD :D i will let you know what the cops think tomorrow they haven't contacted me all weekend and this happened firday morning so i am ringing after i get back home from the doctors and from getting my shit out of my car.

Hmmz, sounds like a tough one to diagnose over the net mate. At first glance it appears to be all your fault but second look not so sure. It would depend a lot of where you both were exactly in relation to the intersection but the possible speeding I don't think will be a factor.

At it's most basic level, you were supposed to give way and it appears you didn't. He might have made some crazy crash avoidance move which went wrong though.

hey guys heres acouple of photos of the car and where it happened. In the photo you can clearly see there is plenty of visson come down the hill thats what i can't get. The other one shows very clearly old mate didn't try to stop but alo bob i think he tryed some crazy ass shit to miss me but coleted me instead

Ouch!

From the damage to the car it looks like you're pretty lucky to survive that with just a bit of concussion! That's definitely a write-off - if the roof is buckled, especially like that, they very rarely bother to fix it. Also, the door sills are equally as bent, as is the A-pillar.

Where were you coming from in the intersection, and where was the person who hit you coming from? If you were turning right, from the Give Way sign, into the intersection to go where that white Magna wagon is, then I'd assume you'd be at fault.

Even though, your in the 'give way' position, didn't you say that you didn't see any cars coming from the right before you left your line? Which means the other car was definitely speeding down the hill or not paying attention. Its his fault!

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
