anyone we know???

Yepp, unfortunately it was me. :D

Everyone is OK, nobody was hurt etc, but it was a pretty hard hit. I've had a smash repair place around to have a look at my car today and it looks like a very close right off, but without pulling it to bits it's a bit hard to tell.

Basically guys, I checked for traffic twice, but I should've checked three times. Not good, not good at all. I still feel sick in the stomach for all the hassles that I've put the other person through. If you talk to any of my friends they will tell you that I am the safest driver out of all my friends, but it just goes to show that accidents can happen to anyone.

I'm finding it a bit hard to find a panel shop to fix the car (if it's not written off), does anyone have any ideas? The fella's that were around this morning were from Custom Kolours who do all the work for Fast and the Furious, as well as a heap of work for the Summer Nats cars.

So far I've phoned Tony Farrugia, Grace, and Edwards.

I'm so pi$$ed off with myself....

It happens to all of us mate, my condolences go out to you. Ive had almost a similar thing happen to me, so yeah as said it happens to all of us.

Barret Bros in Fyshwick are reasonably good panel beaters, along with David Smash Repairs out in Queanbeyan (have had experiance with both in previous/families cars).

Thanks Amaru.

Looks like the insurance company is arranging for an asessor to come out to my house where the car is to see if it's written off or worth repairing. Not sure when they are due out (the smash repair place passed this info on) so I'll just wait for a call.

I'd say there's around $15k worth of damage there :)

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
