I really hate the way that tray utes seem to be able to do this and extend the rear tray way beyond the rear bumber...

At the least the body builders should have to extend the rear bumper so it is in line with the end of the tray... I know that this is the law in EU... from a rear crash safety point of view it is scary to think that the tray is already half way up your bonnet before your front bumper hits their rear bumper...

Actually, that's a very valid point. Just think about all the road deaths/injuries that occur when a car slams into the back of a truck's trailer. It's similar, but on a smaller scale.

That's the exact reason why all trucks (in Australia) are legally required to have a "load step" as the rearmost point of trailer or load area.

It isn't required in the US and causes hundreds of deaths with cars submarining under the trailer. The first thing that stops the car is the rear set of wheels; and the passenger cabin is already under the trailer, and the driver is missing their head.

Yeah just Lapsed on my insurance so can't claim on that. This is going to have to come out of my pocket

When the 25G got smashed I had Third Party Fire and Theft Cover with NRMA. Because I had it taken home and I stripped the front down to get a quote to fix Nrma said the Insurance was voided.

Guess who has changed ALL Home, Car and CTP to RACQ>

wow, its really disapointing to read all these, whilst they make me feel a little better regarding mine its shocking how many people get hit n run...

I had only owned mine for about 5 weeks when it was hit (and run) out the front of my house while i was at work. 2000 Pearl White S2 C34

Drivers side front - Takeros front bar all scracthed up and deep - front quarter pannel crumpled - frontwheel guard popped out - Takeros side skirt scratched (deep) and partially popped of the car, that was back in november, going thru insurance but still awaiting the quote for repairs... was told it wont be cheap due to being a pearl white.... very hard to match... got told ill have the quote next week sometime... that is after i took it in in dec 2014 for photos, then again in jan 2015 cause photo's were deleted.. accidentally.... cant wait till she is sitting pretty again.

Seems like every other time I get groceries, some fool has decided to park next to me and smash a nice graze or plug mark in one of my doors :rant:

Took photos of one of them with the offending vehicle and evidence of my blue paint on their door edge, Rego etc. Left a note, no response. reported to police.... they tried to track down the owner, but vehicle registered in NSW and it happened in VIC.. "no jurisdiction" .... VERY unhappy.

i should have taken a picture but i just got out of bunnings and someone had balanced one of those Allens jelly snakes on my rear wiper.... By the time i got out it had mostly melted into the base of the wiper arm :(

The guy that smashed them is probably the guy selling them on Ebay, lol.

How hard are they to remove?

My wreck has both, but I guess you need them in a hurry.

If I lived in Brisbane I would be a bit suss hey!!! [emoji6] I'm not in a rush if I can get them at a good price mate? But I'm not sure how hard they are to remove just look like some clips holding it in

Haha, OK then, probably not a setup.

I'll climb in tomorrow afternoon & see what it will take to get them out. If easy enough I'm sure I could get them to you at a very fair price.

Mate that would be awesome if you could! Where are you located again? Is your in the Sydney area I could pic them up.

Yeah Dale a few months back someone scratched all up the side of mine looks like it was keyed. Someone clearly didn't like the noise it make when I start her up lol

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
