Hey all,

was dropping a friend home after work last night about 11:30 near corner of Highbury and Springvale Rd. and saw a black skyline up the gutter from a distance. I dropped my mate home and went back to Springvale Rd and saw it was my mates car. Apparently someone cut in front of him and he swerved to miss them losing control and hitting the only pole in 100 metres. Oh and a bus stop. Him and his cousin were fine but the car's a write off. So is the pole.

It was a black '95 R33 gtst with yellow leather interior and blitz wheels.

If anyone knows this car he's spent almost an extra 25k on that car, such a shame. He finished rebuilding the engine only a couple of weeks ago too.

He was just up at easter nats not long ago, blew his turbo I think.

Poor guy

thats tuff man.  i dont think id swerve to avoid someone cutting infront of me.  id break hard and if i had to, hit em and let insurance do their job.  hope everything works out for him.

hmmm I don't think insurance is applicable in this case. He had a 350kw + engine and nothing else was really standard either.

Hehe, i was driving home from my girlfriends place coming down sprinvale road (from the glen direction) and (i was flying) i saw the flashing lights etc and slowed down to get a good look, bit of a shame unfortunately, i drove past around 12:30.

Just for a lil more info for the others, it really was basically the only major pole for like 100m, i thought 'how unlucky', the poll was absolutely totalled.

Is that the car with a big stereo in the boot (subs behind tail lights facing towards the front)? Where the wheels a really dark gold colour? If so awesome car (or was). Wasnt a fan of the yellow leather when i saw it, but still looked better than std.

The area in question is a 60 zone.

Its actually a 70 zone, then after you cross highbury rd at the top of the hill or something its back to an 80 zone and stays that way pretty much to mitcham road

Just drove past this section of road last night, and was thinking about it, if he was acceleration pretty hard after stopping at the lights, coming off highbury road there is a fly lane (or w/e) someone coulda come pretty fast out of that, and cut in front of him, about 50m up past the lights is the bus stop, swerved, hit the thingy :|

Thats just a guess how that happened :|

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
