Holy shit where was this

Corner of the Northern Rd and the turnoff from the M4 at Penrith. I passed it this morning on the way to work and went 'Ow'.

What time were the pics taken?

Spotted R33 series 2... not looking too healthy at all.

Note the front bumper in the grass at the back...

I feel sorry for you mate.

I'm hoping the driver is OK. If you're on the forum, my commiserations, mate.

Re. Unhappy 33

i passed the car at about 11am. i have a feeling that the driver rear-ended the car in front while trying to merge, didn't even stay long enough to see if the airbags went off, took a couple of shots and left.

i just hope he moved the car yesterday and it didn't get raped overnight.

The general rule is any damage on the front of the vehicle is your fault, side and rear damage is someone else fault. tell me if i am wrong. Thats why i feel sorry for him/her, at fault accidents suck...

i had a taxi T-bone me and it took just under 2 years to get it resolved. Good outcome though.

Yes, all other things being equal, that what the insurance companies normally assume. But not always.

My old family car was totalled some years ago on the Great Western Highway in the Lower Blue Mountains. I was heading east in the AM rain and a silly old bugger (not ageism: he really was!) lost patience, and simply tried to get across the highway from the Give Way sign on the left by closing his eyes and accelerating. Right across the front of me. Of course I hit him amidships with my nose. (Though only at about 10-20ks after some serious braking).

About four people stopped immediately to offer me their phone numbers or wait for the cops, though. So there was never any doubt about what really happened. And the annoying old bugger went on a neg driving charge (still blaming me all the way!).

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
