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.

Actually it is, sort of. As I understand it you are obliged to do what you can to avoid an accident.

As far as I know you are allowed to break the law to avoid accidents and be deemed in the right but regardless of whether the trucky wanted to avoid the gtr or not he will never be seen in the wrong as that would be one hell of a hard point to argue in court. And the point I was trying to put across is why should the truck have to deviate from his line and possibly go into another lane to avoid someone who is clearly in the wrong? I've always been told never swerve to miss things (people and the like not included) because if you do swerve and hit something it won't be the vehicle you tried to miss to blame, it will be you.

Bad luck mate, hopefully she'll be back to her full glory in no time.

Unfortunately you are at fault by crossing the stop line and entering the road onto on coming traffic, no point trying to blame someone else for your mistake :)

I think you should get some legal advice....

Just because you are in the wrong doesn't give some else the right to hit you...for instance...if your are parked in a no stopping lane it does not give someone the right to rear end you...Every driver is oblidged to avoid collision where possible...I think the law changes when vehicles are stationary as well...The truck driver has admitted he did not see you...this is an admission that he was not taking care and paying enough attention to what was in front of him. He can't say that you didn't stop because he did not see you...Do you have any witnesses that will vouch that you were stationary when he hit you?

Once again get some advice...

just noticed in the pics, there appears to be a stop line in about the middle of your car. ie: you were 2m over it. not 30-40cm. correct me if im wrong.

i know it sucks. but i just got quoted $3200 to fix my suspension. blown engine... gearbox... all could be much more expensive. hurts to see your car wounded though.

good luck with repairs.

Oh fark me

Those truckies; last night i was driving my car and a truckie in the middle lane kept weaving left to right. I had to downgear and wait for the right moment to pass him; ever seen that part in terminator 2 with the bike passing the truck in the tunnel.

They are crazy, bad luck you stuck your nose out but at least its all fibreglass and plastic, not the chassi.

Do i smell a z-tune front bar and guards; maybe an arc intercooler?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Rezz · Posted

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Noobie Stagea owner..

      By Turbodoc · Posted

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
