Save by the Japanese disaster... So :) & :(

So some of you may know I have a 2011 GTR on order and that Ive saved my butt off for the last 4 years to buy one.

Then in January my property at New Farm was kindly bathed by the Brisbane river in a beautiful brown mud bath.

My insurance company RACQ (home insurance, no contents as its a rental property) have decided that they are not paying out on the damages on the basis its not my principle property and that if I were covering home and contents then they would. Needless to say Ive appealed to the various government set up groups to have RACQ re-think their position.

I'm one of thousands of people whom RACQ has turned their back on in this disaster. The property had to be repaired asap, so I spent 135k so far out of my own pocket to get it back to better than ever. New walls, new electrical, new windows, new kitchen, new bathroom. It looks really good and now should yield at least $80 more rent per week. But i had to spend most of my GTR money hoping that RACQ will re-pay me before Nissan calls to say the car is here.

Well they called last Wednesday, to let me know my car will be there by Monday this week. I was shattered and told them the entire story of whats happening. They said "dont worry" we have orders for 7 blue 2011 GTR's (at that dealership) to fill and yours in one of only three to ship before the devastation in Japan. So they are giving my order to the next in line and im being put back on the rear of the line.

So hence buying me time to get RACQ to pay...

In short my disaster which caue me the problems have been saved by a disaster.

Also Nissan were more than happy to refund me the deposit if I needed it, I was really shocked to hear them offer that, they were really good about it. Anyway, my 35 was delivered to its new owner yesterday afternoon and I went down to see it as they invited me to come.

The owner is in his 60's and was delighted to take delivery and was apologetic about my circumstances.

So he is happy, im sad but happy at the same time that I have not lost yet and a big thanks to Nissan for being human.

Fingers crossed i get my pay out before the next GTR's are ready for pickup.

Note: Nissan still dont have a clue when the next vehicles are coming. They said it may be as long as Christmas away. :turned:

Trust me, so not worth it.

i was being sarcastic, but im still standing by my statement of "WOW"

Col that's a full on story... I had no idea that happened to you. Guess things turned out as they were supposed to, at least for now. I'd be devo at the insurance company/companies involved with all this flood crap.

John, in my laser right now I've got a bottle of oil, half a pack of toilet paper, a towel, various shirts, a pair of jeans, a pack of napkins, a roll of double-sided tape, 3?? pairs of sunnies, a repco catalogue...

Oh and a 4x12 speaker cabinet squashed into the back seat ;)

So... what's the weirdest thing people have found in a car they're doing a service on?

Today I found a dinner plate in a Barina. Just one plate. In the passenger footwell...

when i worked at ford (yes i know) back in 1999

(was an auto elec)

I can think of three situations

1. small bag of pot in a speed camera landcruiser (what was that doing in there?)

2. hand gun under a seat in a fairlane (full gangster car for a 25ish yo bloke)

3. home made porn, photo album full of S&M shit and it was the customer who picked up the car who was in the photos... :D

ps> She was ugly and old

I wouldn't consider the gun to be weird. Doesn't everyone carry a glock 9mm around in their car?

i thought the home made porn was the funniest

cause everyone in the workshop was there when the customer picked her car up to have a look through the window at the service counter...

I don't think I've ever seen a blue R35!

its a new colour in 2011 models

you will cream your jeans for sure when you see one in person, they are seriously beautiful...

its similar to the old R33 4 door "deep blue" colour...

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.

      I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense

      yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears. I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front. I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.   Enkei RS05-RR 18x9 35mm ET 5x114.3 75.0 Bore Matte Gunmetal Wheel

      R34 Handbrake light saying ON and intermittently flashing

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This. The R34 handbrake icon DOES come up when the brake fluid level is low. You might be sitting right on that threshhold. I have been down this diagnosis path and this was the solution (and it was pretty much as full as your picture is to begin with).
