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.

  • 2 weeks later...

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.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
