Please Help Me!

If anyone on here has any contacts on Bribie Island, Lives There, Visits there, whatever, and hears of kids stuffing up cars, PLEASE INFORM ME.

Below is the reason why.

Tonight myself and my mate decided to go for a leisurely cruise out to the beach. As we passed the BP on the big round-about on the way to Woorim (Bribie Island) we noticed a group of around 5 or 6 Teenagers hanging around outside the Civic video in that shopping centre complex, watching as cars went past. (we were the only cars heading TOWARDS the beach). Just up past the shops, i noticed something strange on the road, couldn't make out what it was, 'coz it sorta blended in, just looked like a spill of something across the road.

It turned out to be a fallen tree someone (I'm assuming the group of kids) had pulled across the road.

I Managed to hit it at around 60kph. It destroyed my brand new front bar, broke my indicator, i think it bent my front bar support, and god knows what damage it did to the suspension.

I waited around a while, checking out the damage etc, and decided to go home. on the way home there was 2 of the group walkin along the footpath just staring at the car grinning, and another 3 of them riding off on bikes quickly up a sidestreet... i wanted to chase them down but realised i have no proof or anything.

Went to the cop station to make a report out, and was more or less told to **** off, and that it wasn't their problem and to go home.

I'm sure it wouldn't have been their problem if we had left the log on the road another 30 seconds, so that the cop car that came flying past at around 170kph where the log was, about a minute after i hit it... wouldn't have been their problem at all would it :D What a mighty fine mess a cop car + log at 170kph would have made. They even had the nerve to beep and yell at us as they screamed past, because i was sitting on the side of the road with half my front bar hanging off, indicator broken and hazard lights on.

I can't make a claim on my insurance because i only just got the car back on tuesday last week from getting the front end redone due to an animal encounter ($6k worth of damage)

so please, if you hear ANYTHING from ANYONE about this, or know of someone who did it, etc etc, please let me know, i would be most grateful for your help everyone.

I feel so hollow inside, i'm seriously wondering if its worth having a skyline... in the 2 and a bit months i've owned it, this is the 2nd time its been damaged, not due to my fault!

sorry to hear about your incident as well. I know exactly how you feel. I had experienced having garbage bins laid out in the middle of road just outside my driveway and even once, a doublesize mattress! but i had been lucky enough to aviod them.

I was the mate following behind in my 200SX...

This shit really gets to me....

In the past couple of years I've had my car graffiti'd, broken into, number plates stolen, key'd, side swiped (fortunately not my 200), kangaroo jump out in front of me (again, fortunately at very low speed so didn't do any damage, just paint), had my friends cars jumped on (crushing the roof down to the seats and bonnet down to engine). And then they've all been keyed or broken into aswell.

Only common thing is that all the cars were nice cars. There really are some dead beats in this world.

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
