lucky no one was hurt - sure can't move tree's that easily!

Which makes you ask yourself... How fast was this guy going before he hit the curb, rolled the car twice, and STILL managed to carry enough velocity to COMPLETELY UPROOT A TREE?!?!

Check out the last photo eek4.gif

Dont worry guys, with our current import laws, for every 'line thats written off, they bring in another 100 from Japan so whats the big deal? Lets hope our cars dont end up like those Shit-ba-rus out there....... too f$ckin many of 'em......

By the way, I bet it was his attitude or his P-plates that wrote it off. ;P

I enjoy these sorts of photos. Makes me smile seeing some hero write off his car :(

I'd suspect his insurance company is also going to say "NO CAR FOR YOU!"

Just a question...

I keep hearing people saying this when threads like this pop up... But why would insurance invalidate his insurance? Surely speeding on the roads and losing control of the car is the cause of many many accidents? Even if he was "street racing" or whatever, surely his insurance would still hold true?

I thought the only reason your insurance could be rendered null & void is if you were under the influence of drugs or alcohol? dunno.gif

I believe that if they can prove  that you were breaking road rules whilst the accident happend, they can null your insurance.

But isn't speeding "breaking the road rules"??

I know that even if you're speeding and write off your car, you'll still get a full insurance payout!

If that were the case, insurance would be able to invalidate something like 50% of accident claims!!! :(

If they can prove (ie have a police report that concludes that you were speeding) then they will invalidate the insurance, it's just they only do it in big accidents. It's kinda like working out who is at fault.

Really!!!! That's very surprising actually... It's not that I don't believe you, I just find it surprising that they can do that.

For example, a taxi driver ran a red light and completely anihilated me as I was driving across William St. Red light camera took photos, I had heaps of witnesses, etc etc... So there was no question that he "broke the road rules" and he was at fault.

But his insurance company still paid him his insured value and obviously the value of my car (both cars were written off) dunno.gif

Hmmm.... Are you sure they paid him off? Actually i might be wrong about breaking the road rules.... I ll have a look at my policy sometime later....

Yah, I'm positive that he got his insurance paid out...

I'd be very very very VERY surprised if they were allowed to invalidate insurance contracts because people broke road rules though. MOST accidents are caused by people breaking road rules, and they always get their insurance paid out.

If that were the case, they'd be able to reject 80% of insurance claims!

p.s. fatz, your sig sucks!!!!

Ofcourse you still get paid out your insurance if you were speeding, run a red light etc... That's why we pay $2000 a year lol because they figure we are more likely to do such stupid things... If they could null ur insurance because you broke the road rules, everyone would pay the same premium because they wouldnt have to pay us out...

The only thing is you lose your NCB and have to pay an excess.

I was under the impresion that if you received a more serious charge from the police, you would not be covered.

Ive just looked through my policy, nothing to say 'if you're being a dick..."

*but*, theres a clause listing "if your car is being used in a race, trial, test or contest" you wont be covered. Another section says the same for any "circuit" (ie race track), so they differentiate the 2.

Gosh... it's quite clear none of you guys have been on the other side of an insurance company policy.

If you're guilty of speeding or running a red light, you are guilty of a civil offence or what the Americans would call a 'moving violation'.

The insurance company will pay on those conditions. God knows I've gotta a few neg. driving fines to go with paying an excess.

But if you're convicted of a criminal offense (ie. DUI, ignoring sirens, driving while in commission of a crime), the insurance company will not pay up.

Nor will they pay up for any cars you hit along the way.

T.

hope nobody was in the passanger seat

if there wasnt then the driver is lucky his side didnt whack the tree.

silly driving obviously looks like it was the cause of this, so in that case il take the front bar as it only has a chip and little scratch on it.

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
