It'd be the truck driver who rear ended him worrying about insurance.

I'm actually amazed how many have been totaled already.

Saw one on eBay USA (....yeah), completely f**ked going for $16000 USD, was running, but the chassis, axles and wheels were all f**ked well beyond repair.

Steve on Anti-lag totaled one which eh kept for a parts car I believe.

Now this one the freeway? dunno if it was totaled or not.

Its a good thing theyre cheap compared to other super cars, and alot more in production, haha

All you fellas are immediately putting the blame on the truckie, but did you ever stop to think that he was just a victim of circimstance? Did any of you actually see it? Too many dickheads cut in front of trucks these days and then hammer the anchors and think "she'll be right..." then this sort of stuff happens. Not saying this is the case, but keep an open mind.

Yeah, especially on the Freeway, NoR, alot of wankers dont take into consideration the longer stopping distance for the heavy vehicle they just cut off in their 4WD/Tarago/Merc/BMW/R35 GTR. My point is that on the insurance papers, it will be the truck driver listed as fault, if he was cut off or not, which is f**ked.

Also agree, alot of super high performance vehicle onwers (ie R35 GTRs) cant be found on this forum, they only buy such cars to match their haircuts and sorrow because their ex wife got the kids, the house and the other 5 cars. Twats with way too much money and a little package.

Wrong the rules are slightly different if a truck hit you in the rear if it can be proven the car changed lanes in fnt of the truck the CAR is at fault

I know this as a few weeks ago a stupid bitch in a CLK Merc cut me off @ Stirling Hwy /Tydeman Rd lights and her insurance is footing the bill :)

My mate ran over the front of a Getz a few weeks back when the stupid young bitch tried to hammer past him down an onramp, he skipped down a couple of gears and then she realised what was about to happen (she was running out of room due to walls etc), grabbed the anchors and the car dove towards the truckjust infront of the the rear wheels, 2 sets of dualies across the bonnet.. best thing was there was a cop car behind him :)

P.S. was the CLK driver a hairdresser?:)

      Yeah nice idea, you mean to suction it to the gauges? I hadn't thought of that.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.
