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?

    • 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.
