Hey Guys ;

Thought I should tell you about this one.

On friday at about lunch time I was waiting to turn left at a set of lights at Wetherill Park when the van in front of me decides to do an illigel u turn through the end of the yellow. When a Porsch carrera comming the other way, which is also running the light, locks em up trying to miss the van slides accoss the intersection, missing the van, slams into the front of my line.

But wait theres more ; The porsch was going at such a speed, and after hitting the medium strip and getting partly airbourne, spins to again slam into the back of my car ABOVE the back right wheel shunting my car about fifteen feet sideways. And heres the best bit , Im whiplashed and going into shock fast , as im trying to get out of my car ( unbelievably the drivers door is untouched ) the Porche driver jumps out of his car and runs acrross the road and starts to abuse the van driver who has stopped. Im staggering around with people grabbing me to get me out of the traffic ambulance arrives, neck brace, back brace, and off to Westmead hospital to me, four hours of head and spiinal X-rays in intensive care for me, thank you very much.

No damage to me except neck muscles and tendons

NICE ! NICE ! NICE !

Dont know what happened to any of them cause I was haulled off in the ambulance. Late that arvo after getting out of hospital, I got in touch with the tow company and went to the storage yard to get my stuff out of the car. Basically the front of the car smashed half way up and the rear right rear above the wheel is smashed and the roof is totally bent !

As everyone has said, the good thing is that you are safe and OK even if a little bit bruised~

Once you are feeling right, call your best lawyers :D You're in a WIN-WIN case here - get payouts for your car, your health and your mental trauma :P

Not the ticket to ride to a GTR that would wish on anyone. And Im not with NRMA ! They need a seeing eye dog to find their own arses when it comes to insuring import cars ! I know I tried them $3400 bucks for someone thats 42 and has had all their insurances with them for 25 years !!!!! I dont think so ! Shannons $872 is ledgendary !

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
