:) I was stopped at a stop sign, was over the line by about 30-40cm. Truck chopped my front of, front bar shattered and intercooler was about 10m down the road. Cops came and even asked the truck driver why he didn't avoided me (he said he didn't see me, which was utter BS). in the end everyone says it's my fault because i was over the line.

pics shortly.

cops say it's the law, i put my claim in today my insurance say it's my fault. bloody excess hurts $2500.00. and i only just got it back from racepace 2 weeks ago (i spent a lot of dosh to get my 100000km service and dynotuned).

Shit happened!

My old gtr got hit in the BACK by an old man on King st Glenwaverly at at least 70-80kph. Those has been to the Glen should know what's the average speed there.

Anyway, cops rock up, said its my fault, gave me a fine and they were going to give me a defect because my car was out of shape but lucky they had a call on their CB so they jet off.

That old man never contact me again. I didn't want to push my luck any further because the COP stated that is my fault on the infrigment so there were more chance of me loosing if i was to take the matter to court. I copped a big repair bill and lucky Master Panel Beater Dirty Whore YLWGTR II did a great job on it :).

You fail at law.

I think this guy has a point.

What difference does it matter if he is over 1 cm or 1 km? He is over the line and it is not the truck drivers responsibility to adjust for him. It's all nice and friendly to make swerves to avoid someone who has made a mistake but not when you could quite possibly cause and accident in the process. The guy is driving a truck remember not a mini minor.

how much of the car did he hit? more than 30-40cm changes things doesnt it... because that means the truck was driving on/over a stop line...

also, why cant it be argued that the stop line is in a highly dangerous location, where 30cm is the difference between safety and being wiped out by a truck...

technically we all know youre at fault, but why is the truck that close to a stop line? and unable to see you? sounds like a very dangerous stop line and/or moronic truck driver to me.

i hate to doubt your story, but if i was telling this story "30-40cm" would actually mean i was a metre or so over the line!

you should have got out and rolled your car back a metre lol

    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
