Nice rant Bratva... We all agree with you.

But...

Unfortunately things will never change, the government will just keep installing speed cameras with the claim that they "save lives" and the sh!thouse license testing system will stay the same, breeding more bad drivers.

I hope you pin the b!tch to the wall and she has to pay every penny! :angry:

I had near the same accident once... I was going straight from gungalin towards belco, a car pulled out from the left on the highway and hits the side of my car. Their insurance covered all the work on my car. However I had comprehensive and the insurance company followed it all up for me. You may need legal representation....

I took about 7 photos not very clear because of no Flash but it shows us on the medium strip at the end of the roundabout. Not really possible to speed on that roundabout as the limit is 80km/h and don't think my car can turn that fast.

I don't mean to start nuffing, but what sort of R34 with coilovers cant maintain 80 going straight at that roundabout? From memory its a pretty smooth open roundabout?

Might just lack confidence in the car/himself. I know I underestimate what my car can handle

or maybe poor/worn tyres or slick surface or a heap of other things that just want to ruin your day....

From the left lane you have to turn heaps sharply as you enter the roundabout so unless you cut lanes maybe.

Could have something to do with it

Or not

Wow, you guys must have had some bad experiences in the past. I have been more fortunate.

I was driving along and some old guy tried to change lanes and hit my front quarter and his back quarter. So he tries to blame me, I tell him to get f&*^%. Get home call his insurance company (I said I have no insurance) and gave them his details, they said we'll chase it up. They call me back and they say its my fault, I ask them to put me on a three way conversation with the doosh, so they did, by asking him to explain what happened and me careful choosing my tricky tricky questions I nailed him with the insurance rep listening. Boom baby. Haha.

But seriously, good luck man, hope it all works out for you. And at least you have pictures. They will save youre ass.

Update : Called insurance company, lady that put the claim against me stated that my mate was turning right (to Yass?) and lost grip and drifted out into her! But then insurance company read the police report and it stated that she did not know where the car came from and she didnt see what actually happened so the insurance lady instantly goes yep she was at fault! She had already payed the excess too.

Now i need pick a nice smash repair place that will look after my skyline well but needs to have connection with Suncorp. Gotta get assessement done by Suncorp first but they will pay for a taxi and all which is nice of them :)

When i took it to one of the guys to get assessement done they noticed that both headlights had cracked at the joins and the bracket snapped off so means i can get some brand new ones which arent all yellow and stressed :) And lastly call up the lady and ask why she was bsing

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
