I just avoided a huge car accident and in the process smashed in the two left side enkei mags hitting a kurb.

I was driving up the beach road on doddi's beach, following a VL Calais Turbo and looked to my right to look at some putang... and there was a camera on the other side of the road coming towards us and he decide that he wanted to turn right and pulled out infront of the calais. The calais locked it up and i chucked on the skids he fully T boned the camera and I pulled off the breaks and swerved into the other lane between 2 islands and hit the 2nd one smashing my both left enkei's and my front bar a bit. i pulled it back and went straight up the road.

When i went back and made a police statement and stuff both cars were write-offs and the calias went about 10 metres from impact point and the camera went about 30 metres. The old guy in the camera (he was driving very slow) got cut outa the car with the jaws of life and the 2 guys in the vl were ok. I am a bit stirred up and pissed about my enkei's but im ok, im going to go jack up my car now and check all the suspension... i'll post some pics later tonight....

moral of the story look at putang while not following a VL.

im gonna ring the chick i been after for 5 months tonight and tell her everything....

life is too short boys.....dont bitch about the small things.....live making big things....

posting pictures in a min, but the back looks repairable, the front is fully bent in but i dont know what they can do these days, they might be able to pull it back but i doubt it. Just went and looked at suspension and shit and it looks ok.

when i was just taking pictures i just found a slight pin strip of white down the door that is so faint that i reckon it can be buffered out really easy. and the rearvision mirror was folded in. with a whis paint mark on that aswell.. and the calais was white so i must have got so close to is that i just actually hit it i'll post the pics of it in about 20 mins....

well i think i know the guy and he has no money or insurance so i cant be fked with it.... plus the more i get involved the more stress and the more worry and i dont want that... i just want to get away from it and get it back on the road....

at the first stages its looks like the only damage is 2 enkei rims.... and the front bar which was already hammered....(the door will buff out of positive) :)

good news is that all the people involved should be ok, although the old guy had to get cut out with the jaws of life... :)

ummmm....if someone can recognise what the name of my enkei's are when i get the photos up i will be very appreciative as i would like to get a hold of one as i love them....

Fane, that sucks, glad you're ok, those rims are multiple piece mabe you can order the outer rims only, that would have to be cheaper than entire wheels. your paint looks like it will come up nice with a cut & polish. Good luck with the repairs. :cuss:

I think the rim could be fixed fane,as the outer is just steel.

Try someone like Summerfield engineering in Kenwick as he makes steel rims and stuff.

Your stunt driving skills have been tested and you passed.Good work.

Fane nice to hear of your lucky escape

have you told the police how you avaided the accident if so new front bar claim on thier insurances looks good and they should pay for the rim repair its worth finding out

my insurance will sky rocket if i claim it so im fked if i do.... its not the excess of 400bucks but the $2600 a year instead of $996, might try and absorb it...

yer dean i went back down there about 5 mintus after with the old man and made a statement and everything and they seem quite cool about it...

DR30, i was hoping that would be the case... i actually think that they might be able to pull them back aswell... lets hope.... i'll go up this weekend and drop them around the place and see what they can do...

not cool :)

good to see your ok tho..

a magna took out a light pole about 30 mins ago on the freeway. came down onto the entry ramp and the front of the magna was ****ed. didnt look *that* bad - luckily. lamp was on the ground when i went past, ambo and cops were there. think the dude(s) would have been ok - maybe a bit of 'lash

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
