Pete have you removed the radio yet? You don't need it for drive on and off the trailer :P.

I thought if the Police were called out, they had to charge someone? My mum was charged for neg driving when some random crazy guy in a disability scooter drove/rode across a busy roundabout and crashed into the rear guard of my mum's old car.

No there were no pedestrian crossings/footpaths there.

I believe that is only if the ambulance service is called in a takes someone to hospital. Something like that in Victoria anyway.

An interesting thing also, police in nsw do not respond to car crashes unless someone is hurt.

My Aunty got t-boned by a p plater and there was a cop sitting there at the intersection when it happened. They did attend mind you (would look pretty bad just to rubberneck as you drove past) but they told my aunty they don't attend minor accidents anymore and to make sure you get a the insurance details. They hopped back in their car abd drove off. This p plater got nothing. But the funny thing is, is that if that p plater ran that red light that infront of the cop and DIDN'T clean my Aunty up... worst prick in the world

If you are being intimidated by occupant/s in the other car, lie down on the side of the road and have someone call authorities. And remember the registration plate of the other car.

Once a call is responded to, an Event Number is mandatory.

Yeah. As far as I'm aware, you can call an ambulance and not even pay. Thats what (most of us here) are paying $600 a year for (ctp)

If an ambulance os called, pretty sure bet that a cop will be there to check it out too.

In my case police were called because the road was blocked on a blind corner. Fark me, you should have seen us all run when this truck come around the bend and locked up. He ended up about a meter from the front of my wreck, so i had 4 cops, and 2 firetrucks. Pretty colours. Its like a disco when it happens in the dark!

I think we are all missing the point.... With the massive insurance payout you will now get, when are you buying a GTR?

Lol i ended up getting over 200k. Did not expect that.

Thanks to all who gave their thoughts. It was a wild ride I wouldn't wish apon my enemies.

...still not buying a gtr tho ?

      When I need something else to edit, I use Movavi. A friend who does video editing on a daily basis recommended me) it's an easy video cutter to use for beginners

      I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.

      RB25 Crankshaft Differences

      By LjB123 · Posted

      Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA

      But I think you missed mine.. there is also nothing about the 98 spec that supports your claim..  according to the fuel standards, it can be identical to 95, just very slightly higher octane number. But the ulp vs pulp fuel regulations go show 95 (or 98), is not just 91 with some additives. any claim of ‘refined by the better refineries’ or ‘higher quality fuel’ is just hearsay.  I have never seen anything to back up such claims other than ‘my mate used to work for a fuel station’, or ‘drove a fuel delivery truck’, or ‘my mechanic says’.. the actual energy densities do slightly vary between the 3 grades of fuel, but the difference is very minor. That said, I am very happy to be proven wrong if anyone has some hard evidence..
