f**kedy f**k f**k!

I may have just killed my baby... Involved in a minor fender bender, tried driving away after exchanging details only to realise that I was losing fuel and the engine was being totally unresponsive. Pulled over to have a look under the bonnet and the front reo is bent with no space between the radiator and engine and the engine seems to be sitting at a funny angle in the bay.

To make things better it turns out that Just Car don't have a 24 hour claims service... Car is parked and locked and I have to organise a tow and a claim first thing in the morning.

Spoke to insurance company today, they are organising a tow from where the car ended up and all the rest. However with damage to three panels and the reo as well as whatever mechanical damage has occurred I have been told to expect it to be a write off sad.gif

Time to start shopping around I guess. Thankfully I just bumped my agreed value smile.gif I'll probably get $18k in hand after everything is settled so that would give me plenty of options. Thinking maybe I buy a dirt cheap camry/magna/lancer etc for a couple of grand and start looking for an S13 smile.gif

Started the car up to get her on the towie. Engine was not a happy camper. Belts squealing like a bitch from them rubbing on the fan shroud that has been jammed up into them. Idle was all over the shop, almost stalled (in a freaking auto) at one point and was surging to over 2.5k at other points. She is not a well car :(

what time and day to meet at kenmore maccas

Thursday night, 7:30 usually. Keep an eye on this thread. Meeting gets changed occasionally for various reasons.

    • 1. Factory knock sensors for now, honestly the RB26 OEM knock sensors seem ok as they're flat response instead of resonant type but they appear to be internally grounded to the block. If I do replace the sensor it would just be to get ones that are not internally grounded so a differential input can be used to reject common mode noise. Definitely plan on fixing this as a part of the tuning process. 2. Never deliberately induced knock, though I guess I could try that experiment if I really wanted to. 3. All of this is basically on a stock engine + ECU, only modification is HKS GTIII-SS turbos and a Nismo plenum. Currently I run it with the wastegate solenoid unplugged so it won't try to raise boost past wastegate pressure.
    • After being peer-pressured into paying $100 for the MW remakes, got BO6 on XBox Game Pass. I think that's worth it.
    • That's a given!  Bit hard to powdercoat it properly without removing them! 😁
    • No detail on compressor or turbine sizes, which doesn't help with housing size selection with that kit. However, from SR20DET mucking about and money torching perspective, a GTX2860R Gen 2 w/ 0.64 (46mm inducer) will do ~260kW on E85 about 1.5bar of boost. All in before 3000pm, which cause a gearbox to shatter. Now imagine the same turbo, on a modern motor with an extra 0.5L of displacement, and heaps of cam timing adjustability (not an on/off affair like the Nissan shit boxes). If this was my car (which I would never own or consider buying, ever!), I would go for a nice twin scroll setup, and a G30-660. Gates plumbed back, no silly shit. Lean on the cam timing, big displacement to create a flat-ish torque curve.
