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.

    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU. 
    • Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
