This is my first post and well, I'll be damned. I bought a Skyline R33 GTST Sedan 6 days ago... I crashed it today... Don't know what happened but I damn suspect HICAS...

The only friggin time I'm not being an idiot, I crash my car.

Just thought I'd share...

For those who want to know what happened, I was driving along Albany Highway and got to the set of lights for the on ramp for Tonkin Highway heading towards Welshpool... It was a red light so I stopped. When it turned green, I started turning, wasn't speeding or trying to get the back end out, was only doing about 40 by the time I cleared the turn. When the car straightened up, all of a sudden te back end kicked out to the left (I was on the outside lane) and I tried to correct... Then it corrected and I was over correcting... I spun out and hit the wall...

Talk about bad luck... I had just paid the rego as well. f**k my life.

How's everyone?

Also have know idea if insurance will repair it, the front bumper is half off, radiator is busted along with transmission cooler, lights are out of place, battery probably f**ked, fuse box may be gone, driver side fender is crumpled and the crumple zone crumple on driver fender side, driver door isn't quite in place and the read driver side fender is dented. The fan maybe be f**ked as well... Wheels seem fine and car starts up...

From my understanding of it, HICAS can come into play at low speeds to help smooth out a turn. I've also read, that it can angle up to 10 degrees but is limited to up to 0.3 degrees for high speeds.

But even if it wasn't HICAS, I never hit boost and was under 3000 revs at the time. I also checked the road and there was no oil slicks or debris that could of caused me to kick out as such.

Oh well, if the important stuff isn't damaged eg. Engine, steering column, suspension... I'll get it repaired and maybe chuck on a new bodykit instead of sourcing out original parts, maybe a carbon fibre hood.

If anyone knows of a good repair shop, please let me know. I want quality over price. I don't mind chipping out to fix this.

Damn popo... Don't they have anything better to do with their time? I mean seriously. It's just a hood. It's not as if I have a stash of drugs or illegal firearms or a nuclear device stashed in my engine bay... They should go do something more productive with their time like umm tracking and arresting thieves, murderers, rapists, kidnappers and such... Not people who drive cars that look and perform boss.

An update: Car is at panel beaters at the moment, will be for 2 weeks or so, costing me $4000, and then another 1.5-2k for a bodykit (I opted to do this since it seemed like the best time to fit one). The guy however said to not get a bodykit from carmate saying that fitting it will be a nightmare, so where is the best place in Australia to get one? I'm looking for a full M-Sport bodykit including fenders and a Fiberglass or CF (coloured) hood.

FARKEN LOL

you blame hicas for your accident. Maybe you were just being a complete tool and don't want to admit it?

Or maybe you simply can not drive like 99.9% of Perth drivers.

Implying 50% of those other 99.9% can drive any better. LOL.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
