i finally got hold of the cop tonight.. he tells me she was ok.. broken collar bone tho.. shes from mornington and remembers nothing of the accident but the scary thing now is.. on the night there was these 2 guys that said they saw the whole thing and i wasnt doing anything wrong.. now the cop says because i say i wasnt doing anything wrong.. she doesnt remember anything so it all comes down to what "THE" witness says.. i go wasnt there 2 witnesses there and hes like nar there was only 1.. so now iv lost the 2 guys that said i was in the right and theres some new witness

OK, some advice, call the cop shop that is dealing with it and ask to speak to the sgt. Explain the situation to them, they might be able to get to the bottom of it for you, tell them you need details for insurance perposes. Call TAC and find out if she has made a claim, because she would have needed all your details (and your cars details to do so). Then thirdly speak to your insurance company and see what they suggest. DON'T run straight to a laywer, that can look (if it gets that far and u already have representation) that you are guilty of something.

Mate your story is a shocker cant believe it man, I suppose this I what you call a genuine accident, it is a blessing you had ppl at the scene that can vouch for you because from I what ive been told its usually the driver that takes brunt of the blame . I can truly understand you not sleeping I have to admit I wouldn’t be able to do much at all after that. I hope that it works out for you and this lady , in all fairness pedestrians have the responsibility to look and take in consideration conditions of weather and driver stopping time.

best of luck with it

i wish it was that easy.. for starters because the cops havnt made a decision to who’s fault it was i cant ask for my car to be fixed.. 2nd she wouldnt have made a claim with the tac because shes saying she doesnt remember what happened and is hoping that the cops dick me for something and get her off.. 3rd i dont have insurance and even if I did they wouldnt do much for me anyway cos i would have only had 3rd party if i did have any as a 22yo driver in a import gets stupidly priced insurance

Okay, regarding insurance, heres what to do.

There is a repairer in Fairfield who will do this sort of shit for you, ie, have their lawyers get the money from the girl for the damage.

They will make the claim through themselves, quote the work and then basically sue the woman for the cash. All you have to do is take the car to them and talk to them about it. I can't give you there name here, but they are a prestige auto body repairer in fairfield. They do extremely good work and will handle everything.

Also, if she goes to sue you, make sure you counter sue.

All this said, again get legal advice first so you know your rights.

BASS OUT

HMMMM. Can't say I agreee although I do see the point. Fact is though with no insurance, not knowing what THE witness will say, indecisive coppers and a chick who remembers nothing - can legal advice really be such a bad idea?

Just coz u get some advice now doesn't mean ur guilty nor do u need to tell them that u've sought advice.

Bummer havin no car. You know how to get in touch if you need anything though.

smoke signals? nar im still driving it around.. got a new windscreen and gaff’d the bar on and same with the mirror… its amazing what some gaff can do…

hey your car is the same colour :P wanna swap mirrors? While we’re at it can I borrow your sun roof too? :)

dean has 2nd hand head lights for $300 each and mirror's for $150 each rekon i could find cheaper? 300 for 2nd hand light sounds like a bit much ill still have to get them both cleaned up too

That's the going rate i'm afraid, you may find cheaper, if you get lucky. I reckon he may give you both for $400 if you were reffered by a forum member? give it a go :D

i got my mate to do the 1st phone call while i was at work and he's friends with him and also bought a tt supra off him..

anyways i bought them both.. headlight looks brand new and puts my other 1 to shame so i havnt put it in yet cos that headlight exchange place isnt open again till the 5th..

thanx for you help anyways now i just need another copy of your front bar and im close to back on the road again.. and for these cops to say it was her fault so i can see some money

There was only a crack in the bar wasn't there? that can be repaired fairly cheaply i would think ;) looking at the damage mabe the bumper support was not cut down and re fitted?

When you repair or replace be sure to fit the bumper support and the end plates to give it more strength, I spent an hour with a bloody hacksaw in the drive way to make sure the bumper had some metal behind it. Watch out for the bumper ripping tow truck drivers!! they quite often go "oh well it's broken any way" and do more damage!!

yeah i spoke to pulse tonight and they said they saw how much you cut off yours and they'll try and help me with mine when i get a new bar..

also that tow truck driver was shifty.. when it was going on and i was there watching he got the wooden planks out and made sure it would go up nice.. and i saw it go up didnt come close to touching anything.. he must of just rolled it straight off the back when no1 was around

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
