thanks for your expert opinion. we can tell you studied hard :P

Physics yea??? or was it back yard testing lol

Ive met dog shit thats smarter than you.....On the same token....ive also met plenty of "graduates"that dont even know what a 1/2 drive ratchet is.....excessive schooling usually ends up in working in mcdonalds...not to mention hard working tax payers like me funding austudy ect so that when you eventually get a job get holiday pay/sick leave/public holidays and so on.....bring back IR and weed out all the bludgers....the only reason that people didnt want it coz this country is full of them :D....now quit filling up his thread

Wait.... weren't going too fast, but downhill on a rainy road... and crashed when you turned. Hmmm

How much does your GF weigh?

Just J/K :P

lol, thats prob the first laugh I have done since, thanks :D

I still can't believe the amount of damage for such a slow hit, I guess it being the corner of the car it pushed things out a fair bit?

Dont know about the dog shit part being smarter that me thats a debatable factor.

But the rest you could possibly be onto something..

but im still interested into your knowledge on crashes... anything possibly tested in the backyard with a billy cart or something?

lets see.....tell me about your crash test?????The only think your missing is the yellow and black targets print on your body....you wouldnt know about making billycarts anyway.....you would have been playing with star wars action figures while i was making stuff for my pw50 race bike :P

Sorry to hear that mate. Really sucks. Been in an accident with my car before, never nice.

Ive actually been in a situation with my old Mazda 323 too. I was cornering and suddenly the rear kicked out. Now this is a 1986 1.6l automatic front wheel drive. I had no idea what to do and the car slid for a bit (probably not a bad drift) but because I overcorrected, ended up spinning it around the other way when it got traction and spinning out. Facing the opposite direction to traffic in the middle of stud road.

Now while I wasn't going slowly, I definately wasnt driving at excessive speeds and definately not taking the turn any faster than I had in the past. The rear just suddenly slid. It left like it slipped on something. Im almost certain there was some oil on the road or something, as for my old car to react that way, it wasn't normal. It gives you one hell of a shock, thats for sure. We just always need to remember that the roads themselves arent always a smooth surface and especially at night on road, it can be impossible to see dangers.

Hopefully it is fixed promptly for you. I had the body work done on my R33 by Imperial Finish Body Works on centre rioad in springvale and they were great. My best mate has used them several times. See Murray there. I let just cars choose the mechanic for repairs, and they chose Carrera Motors in Nunawading. Interesting story there, but thats for another time.

Sorri to hear that mate... Glad that you weren't hurt. One of my best mate died last year when his silvia crashed in to a power pole at low speed (not speeding, or drunk) around a corner in the wet. Just goes to show that you really don't have to be doing anything stupid and stuff like this happens.

damn....now im scared to drive my car in the wet :thumbsup:

Quality > width

Giddyup!

Theres a huge difference between good and bad when it comes to wet weather traction.

Never run cheap fronts...you'll always end up hitting a tree or something similar.

My bro's got cheapo chinese tyres on his commodore and I reckon you could push the car sideways in the wet and it would slide it's rediculous how bad the wet weather traction is.

sorry to hear about the car though that sucks ass, trees should be required to bend more :teehee:

That'd be the accident on Kent Ave, Croydon? I remember that, it was absolutely tragic :teehee: Terrible piece of road in the wet, it was only a matter of time before it happened.

To the thread starter - sorry to hear about your accident but good to hear you're comprehensively insured. It does look like a fair amount of damage.

Sorry to hear that but good to be comp insured i guess because thats a fair bit of a hit you had.

i was driving the other day in the wet! let me say my tyres cost more than my rims =\ and i sliped out at the back doin about 10km/h

i was turning right at a T-intersection and it sliped up hill as i was making the turn doin 10km/h

i own a gts4 so im AWD and i sliped so comes to show anyting will in the wet.

after i was bored spo i walked to where i lost the back (it was about 600meters away from home) and saw on the slope of the road in the rain the roads are so sh!t that its making a mini waterfall of water, think the goverment should have built better roads.

i guess anyone on a sloped road keep this in mind because it was way in the back of my head before i checked it out

cheers, Andrew

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
