If at all possible, find out if any blood was taken from her.

I'm sure that you would have been breath tested by Police, but she should have been tested too.

I'd also be finding out where she had been beforehand.

If she had recently left a pub/club and was under the influence of alcohol, then the pub/club has a duty of care to her as well.

(IE; it's against the law to serve alcohol to an intoxicated person)

I've never known a sober person to fling themself in front of a car.

Go get some legal advice.

Glad that you and your passengers are OK.

Thats sad to hear SKYL9 hope every thing works out well and promptly. By the way just get one head light and take them both to

They do a wicked job of polishing inside and out. Also, that Impul R33R front bar on your car, was that purchased from a company in Braeside??? Because it looks like a copy of my front bar. :)

i tried calling twice on saturday and i went down to the station in person today and the cop that came to the accident wont return my calls so dont even know the ladies name.. I know as much now as I did 5mins after it happened on Friday night.

Sorry to hear it dude. That really sucks.

For one headlight you can try UP Imports, thats where i got mine, I used the website (www.upimports.com.au) but its located in dandenong I believe, Not sure how far out of melbourne that is but yeh. Best wishes mate.

hmm, sounds like they're deliberately trying to avoid you speaking to the pedestrian. At least you've made the effort though.

I wonder whether she was actually drunk at the time? They say a large majority (over 50% i think it is) are actually intoxicated, which basically in my eye makes it not your fault at all. Unfortunately they will still put that down for "injuries and deaths on VIC roads" or similar and these statistics are used to skew results and justify revenue raising tactics.

Hope she is ok, and it doesn't turn into a big legal crap-fight.

OMG

i hope u are alrite about this

and i hope that chick is safe and sound so she can get up and pay for the damages she did to ur car! look at that!! unblivable! careless pedestrians like her should learn to walk at a PEDESTRIAN CROSSING or look before you step out...noways your fault SKYL9 from what i read...tell me if all accidents involving cars and pedestrians totally the drivers fault then the world is living with no fairness.

yeah, what Al said too.. Speak to a lawyer for advice RIGHT AWAY.. Even if you have to pay $100 for the privelege, that could save you a lot down the track.

If it is wet the court could say you weren't driving "in line with the conditions of the time" and that could be nasty. You never know, but things can quickly swing around and worst case her dad is a lawyer or something (the worst slime that can exist festering in your toilet bowl)

Surely..... for insurance purposes they need to give you her details?

If you want to make a claim with your insurance company, won't they need details?

Sounds like somethings a bit dodgey.

I'm sure they wouldn't deny her your details, so why are her details being withheld?

Legal advice ASAP.

Just see a lawyer ASAP.

Something as simple as saying "I hit a pedestrian" when you should be saying "A pedestrian jumped out in front of my car." or saying "I didn't see her." to the wrong person could put your a$$ in a sling. :Bang: <- your life

DO NOT TALK TO ANYBODY ABOUT THIS UNTIL YOU HAVE GOT LEGAL ADVICE!

You can bet your lefty that some bottom feeding liability lawyer will jump on this with both feet. And you will be his target. :blast:

"Your honour, this HOON in his fast car nearly killed my client who was just crossing the road minding her own business. She deserves $5 million compensation."

BULL$HIT, If it went down as you describe then she should be paying for the damage to your car. (may she have a speedy recovery, but she trashed your car man)

thanx for the help.. sounds better than buying 2 new headlights.. and if you own that silver 4door with the impul kit that was down at pulse.. then yes that bar was a copy of yours

thanx.. i gave them a call but they dont have any i was told

Shit man are YOU ok? Which cop shop is dealing with it?

I reckon the guys are right though - get some legal advice - all this chick needs to get a court in her favour is your driving history and a few tears.

    • Updating results following our SR20det project. Data collected form improves future turbocharger making and high flowing services. So far differences between G and GT series turbine wheels, we are in the process of making a new turbine, the aim is for better mid top range flow without gain too much lag.  Result is back to back comparison of G25-660 and GTX2867 spec turbochargers on the same car, nothing changed apart from turbocharger. Both tuned to knock limit from pump 98 fuel (US Ron93). GTX2867 was about 400RPM more responsive making 255rwkws while G25-660 made 17 extra Kws with wider spread of torque after 4500RPM finishing off at 272rwkws.  
    • @GTSBoy i tried to jumper the wires and got the steering wheel light to come on which is right under the gear indication but that still doesnt come on.  Can it be an issue with my cluster?
    • Given that you have seen the dash indicator work briefly, then it would seem like you have a simple wiring problem. What happens when you simply jumper the wires on the "steering wheel switch"?
    • Yesterday's day in review: All the wiring to the lights up the front how I want it, is ran, terminated, and all to length. The only lighting up front I haven't finished is the side indicators, as I need to get to the partly cutup factory loom, and find the plugs for them. Interesting note, the side indicators use the exact same plug that's in the doors for something else that I don't remember what it is... So that plug better be careful...   Power steering solenoid, on the R33 is variable, and from memory PWM. The Ford's control from the docs I have so far, is it's just a on or off control. So I'm not sure it's what I want, and in any case, power steering running, but at its heaviest (solenoid off) is likely what I'll want anyway, so I'm not yet touching it at all. All the wiring I can complete so far, is done. There are 3 wires I need to make a plug for at the ECU, and these are just for the vehicle speed sensor, of which I need to get a T5 from an AU, so I can use its output that has the speed sensor on it. (My car doesn't have ABS, otherwise I'd set it up to use one of the ring gears on that). I need to buy new headlight globes and front parker globes, otherwise I could show photos of lights working. Current fuel lines in and out on this motor are "5/16". I'll order hardline, and some AN fittings for that, and I just need to 100% check fuel line size at the tank end, to get the ends for it. I'm also looking at a few options for the banjo bolts to AN fittings for the power steering rack. I'll pull the reservoir off the Barras PS pump. There's an off the shelf fitting for that pump for a -10 AN feed, and it'll use a 16mm to dash -6 an outlet to feed the rack. I'll be making my own power steering reservoir, I'm going through the thought process at the moment of how I'll run the baffles, and I need to research another idea for it too.
    • Two inlet runners changes the engines characteristics requiring less fuel to make torque at different points in the rev range. The smaller diameter inlet runners on the DET increases air flow speed, which improves atomisation of fuel, particularly in low load/idle for better burn, and in specific areas of the engine, (areas you would use when driving normally) increases the efficiency. All of those items change how efficient the engine is at different speeds. The changes on the neo help slightly to improve emissions where it matters. The overall improvements won't be the likes of going from an engine built in the 70s to an engine built in the 2000s, it's just a small step. But still leaves it the RB with the best chance of improvement.   As for your comment about the whole using a cat to not need to worry about those gases. Two things, no system is 100% perfect. It won't eliminate everything. So reduce the quantity you put into it, you still reduce the output. Two, make that system do less work, and it's likely to survive a little bit longer. Funnily enough to, one trick employed to get cats up to temp, AND to drastically reduce emissions before they get up to temp, is to reduce ignition timing.
