:) I was stopped at a stop sign, was over the line by about 30-40cm. Truck chopped my front of, front bar shattered and intercooler was about 10m down the road. Cops came and even asked the truck driver why he didn't avoided me (he said he didn't see me, which was utter BS). in the end everyone says it's my fault because i was over the line.

pics shortly.

cops say it's the law, i put my claim in today my insurance say it's my fault. bloody excess hurts $2500.00. and i only just got it back from racepace 2 weeks ago (i spent a lot of dosh to get my 100000km service and dynotuned).

Shit happened!

My old gtr got hit in the BACK by an old man on King st Glenwaverly at at least 70-80kph. Those has been to the Glen should know what's the average speed there.

Anyway, cops rock up, said its my fault, gave me a fine and they were going to give me a defect because my car was out of shape but lucky they had a call on their CB so they jet off.

That old man never contact me again. I didn't want to push my luck any further because the COP stated that is my fault on the infrigment so there were more chance of me loosing if i was to take the matter to court. I copped a big repair bill and lucky Master Panel Beater Dirty Whore YLWGTR II did a great job on it :).

You fail at law.

I think this guy has a point.

What difference does it matter if he is over 1 cm or 1 km? He is over the line and it is not the truck drivers responsibility to adjust for him. It's all nice and friendly to make swerves to avoid someone who has made a mistake but not when you could quite possibly cause and accident in the process. The guy is driving a truck remember not a mini minor.

how much of the car did he hit? more than 30-40cm changes things doesnt it... because that means the truck was driving on/over a stop line...

also, why cant it be argued that the stop line is in a highly dangerous location, where 30cm is the difference between safety and being wiped out by a truck...

technically we all know youre at fault, but why is the truck that close to a stop line? and unable to see you? sounds like a very dangerous stop line and/or moronic truck driver to me.

i hate to doubt your story, but if i was telling this story "30-40cm" would actually mean i was a metre or so over the line!

you should have got out and rolled your car back a metre lol

    • You need to jam something inside it to stop it collapsing. A washer, a spacer, a something. Needs to stay up at the fully pumped up height. I still say you can measure centrelines with a collapsed hydro lifter. Whatever max lift is will be max lift regardless of the state of the lifter.
    • Yeah, I've been watching him since the first 4 posts all arrived.
    • Quick update Guys , managed to get the water pump replaced . I first my mechanic went back and forth with Nissan AU (4 weeks) and they weren't much help, at the end they noted something about not supporting imports. So I soured the part myself from Japan. If anyone has similar issue here is the part numbers  Genuine Nissan PUMP ASSY-WATER - 21010-4HK0E Genuine Nissan Gasket - 21014-4HK0A  Cost me about $230 including shipping (I had in within 10 days thanks to Blackhawk in Japan)  They are basically the same as the Red Sport or even the new Zed - here is link to a supplier in US who helped me confirm the parts matched  https://www.z1motorsports.com/water-pump-fan-and-thermostat/nissan/oem-14-20-vr30ddtt-water-pump-p-10167.html You can change it yourself if you like , but I had my local workshop do it , it was about 5 hours of labour.  Cheers  Pac
    • +1 for these guys, they just made me a custom muffler for another car (old Merc V8 not a Skyline) and they are legends to work with and do very nice work at a reasonable price.
