Help,

Had the windscreen in my HR30 Passage smashed by something falling of a TOLL garbage truck today. Because whatever it was didn't actually smash through the screen and injure me those lovely people at TOLL won't pay a cent. Does anyone have a screen for an R30? This car is my daily driver and I need it to get to work. Any help greatly appreciated.

your windscreen is still stuffed though, why should the degree of damage dictate whether or not they are at fault? Sounds like you are being fobbed off. I wouldn't leave it at that. Report it to police, it's a reportable accident, then let TOLL try and argue their way out of it. Threaten to take it to small claims, if that fails to a newspaper or TV show etc.

Went to police, as recovering the object that struck me was impossible, the police said that I have no proof that the object came from the truck. The chances of it being a rock kicked up from the sealed main road would have to be 1 in a million, but if it went to court, they could argue that there's still that chance. Thankfully managed to find a second hand screen in Launceton, so hopefully, I'll get out of this for not too much $$$$. Does anyone know a good cheap windscreen installer?

Cheers,

So, is yours the two tone R30 with passage GT etc badges on it? I saw it parked in hobart (in the brick carpark next to the big argyle one) and was wondering if it was a tarted up local one or an import... Hard luck on the windscreen, at least its the same as the local one, right?

Yeah,

Thats my car, don't look too close at the paint. The black is my first attempt at spraying, and it aint to flash! :Oops: Anyway hopefully it will have a new screen tomorrow.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
