Anyone who can remember back to the Midnight cruise many months ago will want to see this video. Shows the aftermath and the incident itself. Lets try and not make too much fun of Boostzor or Supras in general. I think the price has already been paid :mad:

The video quality change half way through is thanks to the bad quality tape that the footage was copied to. ie Not My Fault :mad:

Video: DivX 5.0.2 codec

Audio: Uncompressed (I know, I know, MP3 next time)

..And the Jury calls on Mr Glue.:mad:

Tell us in your own words, PVA why you did not want to stop at a scene of an accident..

:mad:

P:S

naysayers!

Yeh s**t happens eh:)

The road was sloped toward the curb and the surface was not really that great. I think i let off a little to much too. Would have been ok if i had of been going a little faster:D hmm im going for drive

Unlucky boostzor... but thats the price you pay for street drift. After I almost put my r33 head on into a light-pole I wont be doing any street drifting from now on, shame wanneroo is so expensive to get on.

So is the supra back on the road after that estimated $5.3k worth of damage? $5.3k spent on the engine would have made a huge difference :D

that sounded bad!!!!!!!! :D

is it just me or is the vid not working?? I wanted to see it but can only listen to it..(?)

shit, sorry to hear that!

You probably need to get some video codecs, most probably Divx ?

Have a look at http://www.divx.com/

Yep all back up and runnin only took two weeks to fix actually:D The end estimate was only around 3.5k as i didnt get brand new parts shipped but got wrecked parts instead. Thank god for insurance:p well due to that and the last incident they are prolly gonna black list me:( may come down to selling the supra due to the ol no insurance problem. Oh well we'll see in march.:D

Big thanks to Gradenko for editing the vid and to Joe for the original footage and "eventually" stopping:lol:

Well as i always say u gotta find what u cant do before u actually find out what u should be doing. I was convinced i was gonna hit the curb on the right so i steered well clear of it. hmm me thinks bit too far.

"fear leads to oversteer, oversteer leads to curb, curb leads to towtruck and towtruck leads to the dark side (aka insurance companies panel beater)"

You know if the insurance company gets hold of that video they will probably cancel your insurance and bill you for the repairs. Videoing people having prangs whilst doing something stupid on the road is all well and good, putting it up so anyone can download it isnt a very good idea.

Hmm good point sooo ahhh..... shhhhh;)

Doesnt really show my plates and i wasnt doing anything that stoopid was i:rolleyes: . Besides, insurance companies arnt stoopid if u looked at the damage u would be able to extrapolate that video anyway pretty much. I told em where it was and they saw the damage so they prolly figured i was doin exactly what i did anyhow. Y do u think i pay 2.5k a year for insurance??? fo incidents like that thats y:D

What explanation for it did you give the insurance company then??? :D

it might not show your plates, but it has some pretty good shots of you expaining what happened to your car haha

I don't do insurance - I figure that I won't be doing 2 1/2 thou worth of damage to my car every year, so cheaper not to have any :P

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
