Hey all,

Hows this for luck,

Before deciding to sell, get a yellow sticker for a air pod stupid little reason (being pulled over)

a couple of months later I advertise my car, 1 week later have a frontal accident my fault, $2800 out of pocket, car gets badged outside my house last night

Not good, and beleive it or not, my silvia before hand, had a yellow sticker, followed by getting badged, followed by a frontal accident ($5000 Damage), shire of swan was at fault, then sold it. It is like a cycle for me.

Anyway, anyone know where i can get the side GT badges from?

Thanks

Kris or "Krash" as everyone now calls me

Kris Krash... ROFL... Almost Kris Kross :)

Andrew. :uh-huh:

Bad driving, nah not with my silvia, a garbage truck reversed into me, stupid garbo wasn't looking , plus the camera used to view cars behind wasn't looking, didn't have time to reverse, i had my hand firm on the horn

With my skyline, well i admit it was my fault legally but that guy could not drive. It was at a giveway sign, there was no traffic coming from the opposite direction, one old ute in front of me, still looking in the opposite direction i started to drive and hit his car. He didn't even move, not one car was coming for miles. He couldn't drive, but it was partly my fault for not looking, anyway that aside, i am a relatively good driver. My first accident where i was at fault

Its always the way, its almost as if your cars can sense your going to sell them, My first car when I put a for sale sign on it, the next day it conked out, and the fuel pump went, then someone ran into it at the supermarket, then I chipped the windscreen.

My 2nd Car, as soon as I had decided to sell it, some lady reversed into it and drove off, the electric windows stopped working, then I got an EPA letter.

I think it just seems to happen when you go to sell your car, its like the car doesnt want to be sold.

Same thing has happened too me. I was lookign for a skyline and was trying to find some good insurace. I switched to full comp just to give me more credibility when i get insurace for my skyline. I got a rating 2 with RACV. Then someone cuts me off, i swerve and miss them and hit someone else. The person causing it just drive off, and i had no details.

So it costs me $800 and now im a rating 4, goodbye sykline. Hello cheaper car + 3rd party insurace.

If the silly loser who cause the accident had have stayed in his lane then i would never have had the accident. And still had a reasonable rating and be $800 richer.

I dont completley understand.

Does my employer have to sign anything? If they do then they will have to look over the legal aspects and then this is a cost to my employer, which they wont appreciate.

Who is Entity? Can you give me a web site and/or a phone number?

Also through prosperion you car must be less than 8 years old at the end of the lease which means ill have to get an early R33 98 skyline if i want a 3 year lease.

So what car did you get through entity/prosperion?

    • Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
