Hi guys,

A few months ago I was involved in a crash, my GTR Black Edition was written off due to a moron running a red light. Quite a bit of damage and airbags everywhere.

Kept it under wraps during the insurance process plus I was a bit angry.

I've finally sorted it all out with insurance and am now looking for a replacement vehicle.

This is a big inconvenience, but hey, series 7 updates anyone?

Cheers.

Yeah was hit at about 60km/h I think. There was some debate for a while as to repair vs write off. High salvage value= write off. Thankfully. Last thing you want is a near new car that's been repai

best thing about a good insurance policy, they pay you, they take care of the rest. it blows me away that people even drive at all without insurance. why would you ever want to handle the aftermath ei

Yikes.

Thankfully you're ok!

Thankfully there was insurance!

Now thats out of the way; that sucks! Can understand you being angry about it.

Yep that's the main thing. Walked out with minor bruises.

Get this, the other driver:

Unlicensed (his L's had been cancelled).

No insurance.

Driving like an idiot running red lights.

The only legit thing he had was that the car was actually registered at the time (his mum's car).

Yeah that would make me angry. Really angry! So your insurance covered and will sue him I assume?

The bloke that almost killed me on my bike was unlicensed, unregistered and uninsured.

Cops didn't charge him for driving unlicensed because they couldn't confirm he had received the letter stating it. :angry:

Yep insurance are going after him.

unfortunate what happened.

but the people who do this stuff, majority of them have lost their license, have no insurance or car is stolen. it isnt exactly uncommon, probably been happening for a very long time.

it blows me away that people even drive at all without insurance. why would you ever want to handle the aftermath either being at fault or not.

Thats a fair sideways shunt , were you pushed into on coming traffic

not a very nice feeling at all .

Basically, I had a green arrow and was turning right, hence he hit me more towards the rear of the car.

There was no oncoming traffic at the time (was about 7pm in a suburban street), but I did end up on the wrong side of the road facing the other direction (180 degree turn).

In terms of insurance, as others have said, I can't believe people drive around without it. As the car is less than 2 years old, there is a new for new policy in place. I'm not sure how that works, but I imagine he'll have to pay off close to 200k.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
