Well it was a good run, Yesterday at 10:00am I was rear ended at a set of lights outside the kedron park hotel as I gave way to an ambulance. an old man in a bloody XF wagon wasn't paying attention and caved the arse of my R33 GTS-T in on it'self. ambos saw the whole thing and I am waiting for my insurer to tell me what the go is but so far from what I was told on the scene and by mechanics she's a write off. as some of you may know i have been trying to kit her out for some time now and She was just starting to run the way I wanted her to. I could get 600k's out of a tank if i drover her conservatively or 300k's if i thrashed it. If this is the end of my line (no pun intended ) then i think i will purchase either a soarer or a sil this time round. so thanks for the quallity community and the advice from those who helped me out. (you know who you are)

I'll update as i know the final verdict.

Man that sucks. I've had almost he same thing happen to me. I was stopped at a set of light and then bang. This older guy ran straight into the back of me. The impact was so hard it tore the sheet metal in the boot. I could put my hand through it. The car was written off from that.

Hope you get it sorted out quickly.

Dude that sucks so bad. I'd cry if that happened to me, i've spent a lot more money on my car than what insurance covers me for. I hate old people, they never pay attention, they generally drive 10km/hr under the speed limit and are dickheads.

Damn, sorry to here about the car dude, I work at emergency services just down the road where the crash happened, if i'd know it was a skyline i would have been straight out to help/smack the guy down!

sounds like an event dave

You can call is "FASST"

"First Annual Skyline Strip Treatment"

Come one come all, bring your spanners and go home with a piece of skyline... ;)

Not a bad idea. I heard from the insurance company. they are trying to work out if they are gonna fix it, they are trying to quote up costs atm to see if she can be repaired. I am trying to work out how much repir will cost and how much the wreck is worth. does anyone know how much a respray alone is worth? let alonehow much a wreck is worth? trying to do some calculations myself to see what it'd cost to see if it is repirable.

It's official she's a write off. The assesor from NRMA sounded genuinly upset by the announcement so I am happy to see that even in the insurance companies there are line lovers. waiting on the final figure for the payout atm.

I don't know why but yeah NRMA not only insured her but have had the best service i have ever seen in regards to an insurance company. they have had the whole thing sorted in 1 week. (RACQ took 8 weeks for my missuses lancer) and kept me in the loop the whole time. I am now purchasing a 300zx in imaculate condition. so sorry lads i'll be crusing in another branch of the nissan family nowdays. I guess i'll have to jump ship to the 300zx forums now. what can i say it's been an experiance to own and drive a skyline they really are a must own car, I think i mentioned it earlier but i'll say it again thanks to all the people here who helped me with my queries and for the support through the loss of my baby.

take it easy guys, may the asphalt beneath your tyres always be smooth and the roads ever winding.

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
