You stopped queuing with me because you kept mid fragging against their silver/gold tactics and feared the deranking

sounds like 2 guys were in a decent accident at winton over the weekend. they got airlifted from the track. neither had ambulance coverage...

people are chipping in and doing fundraisers to help cover the cost. Discuss.

 

 

Obviously its terrible, im glad theyre making a full recovery. I'm not surprised, but I also think its pretty silly that people will fork out for all the expenses that come with tracking a car yet not have ambulance coverage, or at least some sort of health insurance. or is this some of that $60 helmet - $60 head sort of analogy time?

It always amazes me that people have this free money available to throw at whatever fundraiser / gofundme appears on social media, when there are already plenty of charities before the fact that they could give to. Seems only the stuff that confronts them in the face warrants throwing money at it to make the bad feels go away. Ignorance is bliss.

And yeah, for the most ridiculous things. Like that woman who got filmed on a bus by the students making fun of her being old and ugly...so ended up with like 80 grand in cash from people who started a gofundme. All part of that society that supports the idea suing organisations for millions will fix the wrong.

yeah im not one to donate to things unless there is like a personal reason or someone I know is making an effort to support something. for eg a friend doing a run for beyond blue.

but funding someone else's mistake... its like if i get caught drink driving and then ask others to help chip in for the fine because i got no money.

Can I start a gofundme page for VWL to recoup their losses from 88e?
  • Like 3

100% of money raised, which means they got $2500 since last night.

looking at fb someone asks: " i was under the impression that when events are help at race tracks and the organisers have to organise the insurance (aasa etc) doesn't that cover things like this? " Which is a semi-warranted question, but also a bit ignorant.
Response: " AASA/CAMS insurance for is Public Liability + ambulance costs @ the track; it doesn't cover medical transport from track to hospitals and other medical expenses. Unlike an accident on the road, the TAC also won't get involved as it is not a road accident. This is why it's important that all participants read the conditions of what you're signing on for and are aware of the consequences of the activities we choose to participate in. "

the plot thickens....

Why stop there, we need one for the thousands of Chinese tipping money into crown casino and having to drive home empty wallet to a Toorak mansion

I guess that is a post from the guy that crashed?

Would assume if you can afford to track i assume a modded 350z prob can afford the medical bills

But who knows they are probably a tight run group, know each other really well so just helping each other out

Ahhh the old Aussie saying she'll be right

The other dynamic I find interesting here, that you've just put forward...would they be more deserving of the charity if they copped some lift off oversteer on a track because they were noobs, versus a noob mistake in their setup where we can retrospectively say "what an idiot, belting around semis in the wet..."

    • The answer is to get a hold of the wiring diagram, work out what voltage is supposed to be where, when, and then work out why it is not there, then. I can't speak to the HR34 stuff, because I have never paid any attention to the NAs. There is a possibility that the turbo diagram will help, but it could also be different - depending on whether there is an FPCM on the NAs.
    • Hey guys. New here. I am having an issue with my hr34. The fuel pump isn't turning on. I removed it from the tank. Bench test it. Wasn't working. Order new one and installed it today. Still not turning on. Checked the relay. Relay has voltage on the contact side. I jumped it and it tuned the pump on. Which lead me to checked the coil voltage.  Turned on the ignition and had my meter across the coil and there wasn't any dc voltage. Had my meter lead on the positive and I used the frame ground and noticed there was 12 volts. Which lead me to believe the relay isn't getting a negative signal. I traced the wire ( black with pink strip).it goes back to the bottom on the steering and it gets lost into the harness.   I checked at the ecm and I can't seem to find that wire color.   My question if any one knows is. Can I not just run the negative through a ignition relay to turn on the fuel pump relay?. Or anyone ever had this issue and if so how did u go about fixing it.    
    • So many people don't notice it, as batteries decay slowly over time. Two big reasons people end up noticing and needing to replace batteries: 1) The cold weather. The cold not only makes it harder to turn the engine for a few reasons, but it also increases the batteries internal resistance. So this means you need MORE power to turn a colder engine, AND the battery has a lower limit on how much current it can provide. 2) Something gets modified/altered/added in the wiring, typically an aftermarket accessory, like a dash camera, or an alarm etc, and this adds a small amount extra onto the battery, and pushes it over the edge in its failing days. But if you hadn't have read this thread, and just pushed through, chances are you might have made it through this winter, just. But come next winter, it would have been kapoot. But the fact you changed it out now, means you've instantly noticed how much nicer it is for starting, and will be less worry for you that the engine won't start now.
    • Holy shit, I'm glad you brought up the battery issue and I'm glad I asked about measuring it. Old battery was at a healthy 12.82V in the morning with the car turned off. Removed the fuel pump fuse, clamped the multimeter on at min/max/average and cranked for ~3 seconds. It dropped down to 8.30V. So yeah, not surprising it struggled that much. Picked up a fresh battery from supercheap and it's ridiculous. Haven't done a cold start yet, but man, even with a warm start the difference is night and day. I can't believe I lived with this for so long. Just blamed it on it being an old modified car. Went with Century because convenient. If they are shit it'll be a future me problem. But just in case I set up a reminder for 30 months - 8 weeks to check on the battery state and get a warranty replacement if necessary.
