yeh i went to the police today and told them the story and the details they said there gonna look into it.

couldnt get plate number as they speed off pretty fast they probaly had no damage to his car at all

as he had f**king bull bar which is more shit. cameras im gonna go and ask the if theres any around if they can catch his plate number just really dont know what to do about the car now to keep or f**k it off "sigh"

Besides the emotional shock and your bank balance and your past good-lookin' car; HOW ARE YOU?

Can you keep the Police Event Number just in case, your neck gets sore and you develop headaches? Your CTP may cover your injuries if any! Tez

Ouch, sorry to hear, dude.

Whereabouts on Abbott Road was it? If it was near the Hungry Jacks/Caltex or closer to the McDonalds/BP, then you might have some luck with getting camera footage. Hopefully they'll have cameras set up to see the area of the road where you were hit.

Wow, that damage looks the same as friend's car when he it a gaurd rail.

Pefect height, same dual indentations as well. My friend came drifting around a corner, realised he cooked it, slammed on the brakes, and went into the guard rail. He was lucky he had hitt he brakes to stop, if he had kept drifting into the rail, the end of the rail would have ripped his rear bar, lights, etc off the car as well.

Wonder how the car didn't loose it's bumper, there is a destinctive mark showing the part where it appears to have stopped.

BTW, I am not calling BS to your claim for where the damage coming from, just commenting on how remarkable the hieghts are the same, the marks are almost identical, and the fold just before the rear looks like a stopping point, it's uncanny.

Sorry to hear about it as well man, BTW Jerry at Vision Smash worked on my R32, needed front and rear quarter, and he did a top job, but got a little stuffed around from his supplier in regards to parts, but get him to quote on it and see what he can do.

B.

could be a shift worker. i say stakeout.

Gotta say this'd be a good idea, a mate and I did this after is car got side-swiped while parked outside his work...Sat around a few nights, spotted a Tarago with complimentary damage to mates car and BAM!

I am in for the cause, make a roster

Man that's terrible I hope something gets done about it, like the others say "keep nagging the cops" also keep you eye out they may be locals. I was only bitching the other day about people who do stuff like that ("caught in the act") my incident was nothing compared to what happened to you though. I guess although it may be a bitch if you are fully insured you should just be able to pay the excess to get it fixed up.

Hey mate.

I would like to donate a free rear bar & possibly a set of tail lights if you have to foot the bill for the repair yourself.

Hope other people can donate some parts as well to get this line back on the road sooner.

that sucks dude. i got side swiped the day after i just picked up my R33 and the bitch tried to get away but manage to catch up to her.

hope all works out for you.

and in future please make sure you have insurance. this goes out to all you who buy cars but cant afford to insure them. if you cant afford insurance then dont get it. saves you from headaches likes this in the future.

all the best mate..

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
