Some low life backed into my immmaculate GTR yesterday while I was parked for less than 30 minutes, 1cm wide gouges about 3" high each, plus the bumper is now discoloured and warped.

I'm so sick of people doing runners. I could see the person had wiped their hand across the damage and had left no note or anything. They knew they did wrong and just drove off.

I'm going back to the carpark today to see if they have surveillance tapes, but I doubt they are going to be helpful.

To say i'm pissed off is an understatement. If you could tell me who this person was I will probably be in jail next week on violence charges.

If I ever see anyone backing into a car and driving off as I have done in the past, I write down the car make/model, colour and numberplate, with my name and number. If only someone had returned the courtesy for me. :P

That's pretty low of them to do that. I witnessed some guy driving a trailor in a small car park. He didn't take the trailer into consideration when making a turn. Trailer hit a parked car and the driver actually saw this and kept driving to cause more damage. No effort to reverse and redo the turn.

Lucky I was there to jot down his details :P If you start being responsible and help others then eventually others will do the same thing if it happens to you.

i know how you feel. i was also side swiped while i parked my car at a parking lot for no longer 15mins. when i returned i found it unusual that my alarm sensor when off when i disarmed the car, looked around the vehicle and didnt see anything. until the next day when i went to open the passenger door, there was a fkn 20cm scrap along the side down near the rear quarters. needless to say, i was fkn pissed off.

I had a similar thing happen to me just a few weeks back, but thankfully the damage was minimal. The number plate took most of the imact leaving the car with just a small dent and scratches. Still pisses me off though.

If I ever see anyone backing into a car and driving off as I have done in the past.....

uh..... I'll assume that was a typo. :O

A few months back I came out of the shops to see someone reverse into my car.....after it had just been sprayed... :D

The culprit re-parked their car, got out to look at their car, then walked over to mine.... had a quick squizz, then started walking back to their car.

I take it the plan was to drive off (this person had to borrow my pen when we exchanged details, so i can assure you they didn't return to their vehicle to write a note to leave on my car.)

I had to stand there and argue with this person, that it was in fact them who caused the damage to my car.

Even when I pointed out the lovely new addition of blue and white stripes along the side of their car, they still wanted to argue the point.

Since then I have had 4 more people hit my car while it has been parked (one was possibly a trolley)

I always park as far away from everyone else as I can (when possible), but this method DOES NOT WORK!

If people see your car parked all by itself, they must be worried that it is going to get lonely, and even with 300 empty parking spaces around, you can put money on it that the people who have NFI will always park right next to you.

Murphys law.

Bottom line is, if you want to drive your car, it's going to get damaged.

Even if you never stop to park, you'll still end up with stone chips on your bonnet, damaged rims from falling in pot holes, and bird shit on your windscreen.

...but yeah..... it certainly wouldn't hurt for people to start taking responsibility for their actions.

I remember seeing something about this in ACA perhaps 1 year ago about so many ppl just Leg it and dont leave a note if they back into ppl etc...

How much does it also hurt wen some cock sucking top bloke "keys" ya car... made me almost cy once to see my car fully keyed front to end....

My mates WRX was keyed to the bullshit... every fkn panel inc the roof.. he didnt even know who did it.. he doesnt have any enemys nothing.. only thing we could think of was a person who hated WRX's

Those guys should be hung. I am so lucky I haven't had my car keyed so far. It would make me so furious. They do it intentionally unlike those who accidentally dent your cars. I never go to shops and never park my car in unis/city car parks.

Just too paranoid. My gf parked her old crappy lantra at the front of the house and some fker walked on top of the car and concaved the roof during the night.

Don't confuse deliberate acts of vandalism with people who don't know how to park.

I'm sure that you'll find that most "keyings" are grudge related, and performed by people who are known to the victim...... whether the victim likes to admit it or not.

...this is about "random acts of crap driving"

My girlfriend saw a local tool here in North Sydney reverse his 911 Turbo into the car behind him then start to leave without a note until she said something and he wrote his details down and left them on the car he hit.

Wanker.

I also park far away from the shops and other cars, but yea doesn't work. Another car will park next to it anyway. I think it has something to do with an inate herding instinct (safety in numbers) maybe. People seem to becoming more and more like sheep and less and less like taking responsibility. Maybe our parents think the same about our generation though.

Feel for u, I would be furious. I'll make sure I take down details and leave in on victims windscreen if i ever see it happen to anybody.

those accidents sound minimal compared to the one on my dad's 318. he was parked in a narrow sidestreet, went in the house. a few minutes later, everyone heard and massive crash ran outside, saw a semitrailer leaving, didnt get the details. the damage was horrific, new fenders and the whole side of the car was resprayed, new rims and a side mirror as well. ARGH! lowest scum at their lowest! :wheresmyrantguy?:

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
