So im eating dinner and I see on the news that there has just been a 22 car pileup with multiple casualties on the F3. They didnt say where or which direction but it sounds very bad.

Hopefully no sau'ers or people we know were involved in this incident.

Anyone got more information?>

"A 45-year-old Gosford woman who was airlifted to Sydney's Royal North Shore Hospital had suffered serious limb fractures and minor head injuries"

damn work right next to the hospital never noticed ahelicopter though

hope everyones ok, and no sau or sau friends hurt in the accident

Apparently the lady who was killed, was travelling north and was stopped behind the car pile up. Then a loaded semi ploughed into the back of her and killed her instantly when the car burst into flames.

I was driving the opposite direction back to Sydney that night and saw the aftermath.

Flashing lights everywhere but looks like it had been cleared up a bit.

ALL traffic diverted heading north and 1 lane closed as we travelled south.

You could see tyhe front of the semi that hit the car. Even the semi was F%*&ed up.

I would have to say it would have been the fog that did it. Was a shocker!

The lady probably stopped like the previous posts said but the semi would have been flying through at the 110 kms and just wacked straight in before being seen.

Fog is usually at it's worst on that section.

By the way, it was the very bottom of the Mooney Mooney bridge where i would guess people are going the fastest.

I was a passenger driving down the mooney mooney bridge on sunday afternoon and the display of carnage left shown by the yellow police markings were enuf to say that it was one mutha of an accident..No shit it started at the start of the bridge or there abouts and it didnt finish untill about half way accross.That turck and driver were absolutly motoring to cause that much carnage.

Did you hear the latest from the past few days?? The truck that plowed through the pile up of cars was uninsured and unregistered! There was over $800k damage. He has got to be looking at a jail sentence for sure.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
