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 :)

mate i'm not blaming him. i take full reponsibility and biting the bullet. but lesson learn't don't go over the line!

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?

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
