Sorry to hear about the accident. Glad everyone's alright.

This accident sorta reminds me of the video question when going for your L's, where the motorbike comes from behind the truck at the intersection. Can never be too careful.

nah the intersection is further up when your coming out of Goonawarra. the first thing in my mind was the other person, i wouldnt be able to live with myself if she was injured badly and thank god she wasnt. ive got a very sore head and neck mainly because my head hit the side window. here is a pic:

woah big hit dude.... very lucky

yeah looking at the pic i know the one

thats the only good thing i can take out of that accident, but i definately would have preferred just to sell it though. im very lucky it hit me at the front because if i was a little more further ahead it would have hit my door and im sure i wouldnt be here right now.

Poor skyline :P. It looks like it was a daihatsu charade hit you (judging by the car on the tow truck). It always seems to be daihatsu charades in accidents....why is it that shitboxes always destroy nice cars.

The important thing is that your okay. And plus now you can buy back the wreck for a fraction of its real value and part it out and make yourself back some of the money you lost on the excess :P

that little daihatsu wasnt in the accident he was just a guy that stopped in his tow truck to give a hand, it was a subaru forrester that i hit, her car was down the other side of the embankment out of the photo on the right.

one thing id love to do is give a big shout out to the people that helped, a few of the guys helped direct traffic for a while they were fantastic.

    • So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.
    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking
