Man that sux Fane, hope you can fix it :)  

Driver didnt you sell your car? or were about 2?

Almost sold it :)

I was coming home from the licencing center after getting new number plates, to hand the car over the next day.

But luck wasnt on my side..

I got witnesses saying it was her fault so that helpd a little.

shit man .. thats unlucky ... i've said it before and i'll say it again .. you just can't help bad luck!!! :rolleyes: ... but good to see u got a good attitude ... i'm a little confused as to why ur premium wouldnt' go up since its not your fault and that you did very well to avoid the accident.

Hey fane

Sorry to here you bruized your line. My brother inlaw does some panel work and spray painting (paints planes @ janderkot and does ppls cars on the side does a F#*kin good good to) so if you let us know if you need help. You should see the 240Z he just finished.

yer i have been thinking about it and my insurance company wont be involved at all... so i shouldnt really care....i was just a bit stirred up and shaky all day couldnt really think properly...

k the video and more pictures up where i got air and where i landed are uploaded into the http://www.iinet.net.et/~robi/car/ folder.

the tire wasnt that worn before this happend i drove home about 2 kms to get home and then drove back in the old mans car to make a statement and stuff... because i was shit scared... it scared the crap outa me.... the cops were fine, they didnt even care about me they just wanted a witness about the main accident.

thanks impul i'll PM you once i have washed that side and hope its buffable...

aliance look like the first place to try i'll give them a ring today and take 1 of the rims up there...

mine are enkei racing, also 3 piece and im ring up about them today, i live in mandurah so i gotta drop them off sometime :) i ripped the front bar off last night and apparently it can get a re-resin of the back and fully re-fibreglassed and a re-spray for about $400. (my last quote as $330 but now its a bit more dented.)

i'll let you know what they say...

The front RIM is not saveable...

The guy from alliance rang today and said that the front one isnt saveable...because he cant get the middle out...

Anyone got any other places i can try? I think it might have to stay buggered....

On other news....i NEED 2 17" rims, does anyone have 2 laying around... i dont mind having 2 drift specs on the back for a short amount of time until i figure out what im going to do about the 1 that i need....

I have 3 out of the 4 set... hopefully i can find some...

But if anyone has some 17"s laying around that you dont mind me borrowing or i can throw som cash your way for them, i would be happy to throw in a carton for your trouble...

once i get some 17"s i can check all the suspension and get alignments done and the front bar glassed and resprayed....until then im dead in the water.... :)

thanks guys.. :goddam:

So ok everyone I have some bad news.

I didn’t buy enkeis.

That’s right I didn’t buy enkeis…

I have bought some Super Advan Racing mags… the trispoke ones

http://www.vivagarage.com/performance/perf...rims/advana.jpg

Got them for $1950 inc freight and they will arrive on my doorstep Wednesday morning.

I’ll put them on Wednesday and then I’ll show everyone on the next cruise… J

These are the only trispoke mags I like and I have seen them on quite a few skylines, the sure as hell arnt rare but I got them for a good price. 17x8s front and 17x9s rear with tires with apparently decent tred on. So we shall be the judge of that… J

So there we have it… fanes mag saga solved… now to the front bar, fmic, indicators, el gauges, window lift, turbo, ecu, etc etc etc…

J

I know lots of people have these mags but who exactly have these mags from sau?

Common? you dont know the meaning of common til you've got Roh wheels on ya car :rofl:

Nice looking rims Fane .... glad you finally have it all sorted and looking forward to seeing the car :O

    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
