i thought the poles are suppose to fall over wouldnt that lessen the impact on the car, as opposed to it staying firm and the car splitting in half?

no chance it would be hundreds of thouasands to replace, id rkn 15k is closer to the mark and even that would be absolute tops

im suprised it even fell over, do you know how deep they put those poles, for her to knock that over it would of had high speed invovled i rekon

I believe this solves the question of how much the replacement will cost, 15k sounds pretty low for replacing a lot of expensive equipment.

the wooden ones are 10k to fix

Just resting my head on my pillow when I hear my 33 start up. Jump out of bed and dash to the window to see it still sitting there in the dark. Fly downstairs trying not to fall while putting my boxe

You got a couple types of pole... like impact ones are most expensive...

The concrete one broke on the location of impact then tipped over, the wooden one just snapped (Dont have a pic of it)...

Ao thats two poles, 10k to 20k each (depending on is contruction type, insulators and etc...)... plus gas switch witch was broken... plus transformer that got broken... plus control box (cos it was a remote control switch)... That can go up to 40/50k... now the underground is gonna be tested and if it got stuffed up, yeah that might make it go out to the 60k or even hit the high 5 figure mark because of boring under the road and all that... Oh yeah, forgot to mention the money also lost by the accident cutting off supply to the area (People off supply and Total time off supply)... Monday I might know some more info...

Yeah but TAC will pay for all that as part of your CTP insurance on your Rego.

TAC only covers for personal injury, has nothing to do with property damage.

Ah yes, my mistake. I was confusing TAC and CTP on rego and combining them together. Either way I was wrong. REGO CTP insurance only covers personal injury to another person where a legal liability can be established. To cover abything else you need CTP or Comprehensive through an Insurance provider eg AAMI, RACV etc.

This cleasrs it up a little better

CTP=compulsory third party, no such thing in vic, didnt bother checking your link as it is from the ACT and we, and this accident, are in VIC.

I know what CTP is and you are incorrect. We do have it in VIC it's required by law and It's part of your Rego for your car. I put that link because it had the best description of the difference between it and third party insurance from an Insurance company.

Here is a link to the way it works in VIC CLICKY

Here's the short of it:

What is the Transport Accident Charge?

The Transport accident charge is an insurance fee that appears on the 'Registration Renewal Notice' VicRoads sends out. When the Transport accident charge is paid the owner/driver of a Victorian registered vehicle is considered 'insured' by the TAC. This Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance covers owners of Victorian motor vehicles for the injury or death caused by their vehicle to another person.

In order to be indemnified by the TAC in a common law action the owner of the vehicle must ensure the registration fee (which includes the Transport accident charge) has been paid prior to the expiration date each year.

----------------------------------

We also have third part insurance in VIC so I'm not sure what you are talking about when you say we don't have CTP. Here are just some third party providers and the links to the 3rd party info.

Just Cars

RACV

AAMI

Also Spotted a blue 33 GTST in St Albans today with GTR badge on boot lid. Then at about 3ish say another blue 33 coming out of watergardens in Taylors Lakes where Red Rooster is.

It only covers personal injury, read teh bolded bits

Your car insurance covers costs to property damage. Its why your insurance says they cover up to $5million dollars damage.

i thought the poles are suppose to fall over wouldnt that lessen the impact on the car, as opposed to it staying firm and the car splitting in half?

no chance it would be hundreds of thouasands to replace, id rkn 15k is closer to the mark and even that would be absolute tops

$15k is way too cheap and gets you nothing in the commercial world. Especially being government, they are full of money and people will charge a shit load because they can.

Sounds like she will be sent a bill for $60k :)

BeEnAr - you are still missing the point. It covers injury to a person, not to property.

:D See my above quote from my earlier post. I didn't miss the point at all, in fact I outlined it.

See top quote. I already said this which is why I put the links in my last post to some insurance providers' third party insurance details :)

The point is why do you call it CTP, its TAC, thats what everyone knows it as so why are you just making it more difficult to understand than it is, your top quote is an perfect example, by that your saying that compulsory third party only covers personal injury, but you go on to say that if you want any other cover you need compulsory third party or full comp through an insurance provider, which if course is not compulsory, although it should be.

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done.

      I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.

      so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?

      By Lithium · Posted

      That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
