ok so i was driving down beach rd last night to pick up my g/f after work (10:30pm)

as i were passing the bp in elwood some drug f**ked idiot in a wrx was leaning out of the back window trying to grab at my car.

he had his whole upper body and both arms out of the car.

i swerved to the right a little to miss him (driving at about 30kph) and obviously i am looking in his direction.

at the same time some other f**kwit has got in the middle of both lanes about 3 cars in front of me and slammed on his breaks to stop both lanes of traffic so everyone can watch him drop a burnout.

the x5 in front of me hit the anchors and i went under him! :P

with all the sand on the road my car just slid, there is not evena skidmark although the brakes were locked...

damage to x5 - scrach on bumper and ding in panel under bumper

damage to the skyline - busted frontbar (f/g 400r), headlight, bonnet, front right quater, radiator, rad support, washer bottle, reo bar and that's all i could see as i cant open the bonnet at this stage.

as far as i can tell anything structural or suspension was untouched.

the motor is fine aswell as the car was so high (and mine so low) that it just slid underneath untouched

the car got towed to spencer panels and shannons are looking after it now...

just gotta prey its not a writeoff :P

cross your fingers for me

Damn that's bad luck right there - I would've been furious and started tearing heads off those fckwits! I was there lest night, i think i left at 10:30 from the car park where waterfront restaurant is. Too many idiots there for my liking.

Gutted for ya.

Did you get much trouble from the police or anything (did they even turn up)? I remember when my mate stacked his 33 due to negligence and nothing more the cops gave him the hardest time about it. Breath test, drug test, a million and one questions, etc. In the end he was charged with careless driving, which I suppose is true but if it had been a mum in a Honda Odyssey or something they would've just let her go.

Anyway, sorry to hear about your car.

Sorry to hear.

Did you get photos of the sand on the road as this may help if they try to get you for neg driving, i dropped my bike once at a round about because of a diesel spill, the bike slid and hit a car, cops were called, i got booked for neg driving, cop said it was speed and dangerous driving even though he wasn't there when it happened, the guy i hit was cool and took lots of photos at the scene and also wrote a statement stating what he saw, went to court and got fine dropped because you could clearly see the dieso on the road. Might even help keep your no claim bonus as the fault was not really yours as others instigated the accident.

I now always have a camera in my car.

Sorry to hear that mate. Such an awesome looking car too.

It really blows in these situations where idiots on the road can cause you to be in an accident but it ends up being your fault as you hit the other driver from behind. I was caught in a similar situation with my das old car when I first started driving. Really sucks.

cops weren't anywhere to be seen... so no charges...

i'm just so f**king gutted atm... it took 2 years and a lot of money to get that car to where it was... :D

the worst part is waiting for the assessor to get back to me on whether they are going to repair the car or not...

Man that is horrible,such bad timing for those events to occur, very sorry to hear.

hope she can atleast be repaired. But the main thing is you and your gf are ok.

i mean its bad enough having a username as long as yours and now this!

gl with it mate.

Nexus man sorry to hear bout this one!! I really wanted to go for a cruise with ya soon too. Maybe you can ride shotgun in the R with me?

Did you chase that drugger down and rip him out the car by his nutsack? I woud have been red eyed running down the road at TOP speed after that C-Bomb!

Side note, I think my old neighbour is the manager of Spencer Panels, I will ring and find out if you like. Might come in handy, might not but if he is it can't hurt as he was a top bloke.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
