If at all possible, find out if any blood was taken from her.

I'm sure that you would have been breath tested by Police, but she should have been tested too.

I'd also be finding out where she had been beforehand.

If she had recently left a pub/club and was under the influence of alcohol, then the pub/club has a duty of care to her as well.

(IE; it's against the law to serve alcohol to an intoxicated person)

I've never known a sober person to fling themself in front of a car.

Go get some legal advice.

Glad that you and your passengers are OK.

Thats sad to hear SKYL9 hope every thing works out well and promptly. By the way just get one head light and take them both to

They do a wicked job of polishing inside and out. Also, that Impul R33R front bar on your car, was that purchased from a company in Braeside??? Because it looks like a copy of my front bar. :)

i tried calling twice on saturday and i went down to the station in person today and the cop that came to the accident wont return my calls so dont even know the ladies name.. I know as much now as I did 5mins after it happened on Friday night.

Sorry to hear it dude. That really sucks.

For one headlight you can try UP Imports, thats where i got mine, I used the website (www.upimports.com.au) but its located in dandenong I believe, Not sure how far out of melbourne that is but yeh. Best wishes mate.

hmm, sounds like they're deliberately trying to avoid you speaking to the pedestrian. At least you've made the effort though.

I wonder whether she was actually drunk at the time? They say a large majority (over 50% i think it is) are actually intoxicated, which basically in my eye makes it not your fault at all. Unfortunately they will still put that down for "injuries and deaths on VIC roads" or similar and these statistics are used to skew results and justify revenue raising tactics.

Hope she is ok, and it doesn't turn into a big legal crap-fight.

OMG

i hope u are alrite about this

and i hope that chick is safe and sound so she can get up and pay for the damages she did to ur car! look at that!! unblivable! careless pedestrians like her should learn to walk at a PEDESTRIAN CROSSING or look before you step out...noways your fault SKYL9 from what i read...tell me if all accidents involving cars and pedestrians totally the drivers fault then the world is living with no fairness.

yeah, what Al said too.. Speak to a lawyer for advice RIGHT AWAY.. Even if you have to pay $100 for the privelege, that could save you a lot down the track.

If it is wet the court could say you weren't driving "in line with the conditions of the time" and that could be nasty. You never know, but things can quickly swing around and worst case her dad is a lawyer or something (the worst slime that can exist festering in your toilet bowl)

Surely..... for insurance purposes they need to give you her details?

If you want to make a claim with your insurance company, won't they need details?

Sounds like somethings a bit dodgey.

I'm sure they wouldn't deny her your details, so why are her details being withheld?

Legal advice ASAP.

Just see a lawyer ASAP.

Something as simple as saying "I hit a pedestrian" when you should be saying "A pedestrian jumped out in front of my car." or saying "I didn't see her." to the wrong person could put your a$$ in a sling. :Bang: <- your life

DO NOT TALK TO ANYBODY ABOUT THIS UNTIL YOU HAVE GOT LEGAL ADVICE!

You can bet your lefty that some bottom feeding liability lawyer will jump on this with both feet. And you will be his target. :blast:

"Your honour, this HOON in his fast car nearly killed my client who was just crossing the road minding her own business. She deserves $5 million compensation."

BULL$HIT, If it went down as you describe then she should be paying for the damage to your car. (may she have a speedy recovery, but she trashed your car man)

thanx for the help.. sounds better than buying 2 new headlights.. and if you own that silver 4door with the impul kit that was down at pulse.. then yes that bar was a copy of yours

thanx.. i gave them a call but they dont have any i was told

Shit man are YOU ok? Which cop shop is dealing with it?

I reckon the guys are right though - get some legal advice - all this chick needs to get a court in her favour is your driving history and a few tears.

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
