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:

  • 1 month later...

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

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
