I appreciate that you guys want to hypothesize on whether or not you should lend cars to mates, Luke knows me well enough to know that I will pay for the repairs, I doubt he wouldn't have let me out there in the first place if he didn't think that was the case.

Early reports suggest I'm up for a fair bit of money in parts, so my JZX110 is now for sale to help cover it - let me know if any of you feel like defecting to a Toyota...

Badluck Chef.

If you sell the JZX110, it might cover the cost of the Series 3 headlights :nyaanyaa:

Shame to hear this has happened, was looking forward to hearing lap times.

Maybe a good story for your PI column.

Doesnt one of the multitude of SA drift series run out at Tailem Bend now?

Multitude? We have two, G1 Drift and Stadium Drift. G1 is Mallala, Stadium is at Tailem Bend.

Bad luck Chef. Pics?

sure it wont cut and polish out? naa sucks to see but it will all get sorted, loosing your profit on them new cubes u been bringing in after this kristian

Edited by r33 chris

lol I think I'm gonna have to step up the Cube sales!!

Cheers for the offer Luke (ENR34), Pickering owes me a few favours so I'm banking on him giving me some container space, but I'll give you a yell if it doesn't pan out ;)

I dropped around to Heslo's place tonight again to take another look, and yeah there are a few fairly expensive parts on that list. We may end up doing some deals so he can upgrade a few bits and pieces along the way.

Actually Luke (Heslo) maybe it was the petrol fumes that made me pass out temporarily! hahaha

In the end, my wallet and ego suffered some major pain, but I still got to go home and see my wife and kids in one piece :thumbsup:

I am glad everyone is ok and the car is fixable.

Chef you are very honorable for what you are doing and it looks

like the car may come out of this incident better than ever.

I'm glad that you're ok Chef and that Luke is not too distressed over the accident.

Hopefully I don't suffer the same fate tomorrow in my mate's series 3 R33 GTR.

i'll do my part for the cause and step up the pressure on mum to get a cube from u :D

:laugh:

No shit, they're f**king expensive!

And you're right, at the end of the day, you got to go home, unscathed. That's the most important.

In other news, there's a 34 V-Spec you are selling..... :P

Hey mate I am feeling the pain for you, at least it looks not as bad as mine did. $6000 damage apparently. It will be fixed in no time. See you soon.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • 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!
