well, if you know surfers at all on the gold coast h'way where Q1 is, was at those lights. when they turned green i took off and was looking over shoulder to merge into right lane then my mate says watch out for the bus. when i saw it, only a bit of the front was out, there is a give way sign there but it didn't exist for him, went straight through it, didnt slow down or swerve, nothing. slammed brakes, which locked up? when i hit it, it took up all 3 lanes of the h'way and i hit at the rear wheel and swerved s'wheel to left so i hit more my side than my mate's, he got a bruised wrist. on impact it there where flames in the e'bay and he got out but my left foot was trapped from the foot parkbrake pedal at the shin which wrapped around my foot. while those flames were getting a little bigger, abt 20 ppl where trying to break the driver door and electric seats to get me out then this guy comes out of nowhere with an extinguisher and puts the fire out. fire crews used jaws and lifts to break the door and bend off the pedal. good thing its a wagon coz ambos pulled me out from the luggage area. also lucky the sunroof was open coz i was pushed up and a bit of my head was pokin out the top.

witht the impact the stagea did well to protect us as you can see from the crumples and that the dash was still intact, as well as the windscreen not shattering. got a few cuts from flying glass on fingers and forehead, deep lacerations on left shin, stitches off in 3 days, left foot broken bone, right hip, leg and groin sprained badly and still sore to walk on, right ankle torn ligaments, right shoulder torn muscle and no more stagea!!!!

unbelievable, why did this happen to me, you know it's one of those things that happens to other people that you hear about and think "shit man, hope that never happens to me", but it does. morale is expect that unexpected moment of stupidity that those fare prostitutes have when they're in front or beside you, stay away from buses on the road in the gold coast and you'll be safe.

thank you for the good wishes, it's greatly appreciated and helps to know others care and keep safe all you lucky ppl out there who are privalleged enough to still have the ability to bring your pride and joy to life at the flick of a switch, while mine lays dead like a tortured cattle carcass in a corner!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
