That's pretty aids, even though it is a holden

How did you manage it though? The intake on the OTR is quite high off the ground...

fark me, that is bad, so many farked over with floods and shit this year.

hope insurance comes through.

Sucks to hear dude. If you can get insurance coverage, it sounds like a good opportunity for a stroker!

With the car lowered it would have been under a meter of where the OTR sits. So it could e done really easy. Deep enough puddle/going through at a reasonable pace it would easily go over the bonnet.
Also saw a navara go through a decent puddle and drenched some poor bitch on a bike. Lols happened.

Who the **** attempts to go through water that's even half a metre deep?

I'd be interested to see how high an OTR on a VE is compared to the stock intake on my NC - anyone wanna measure a VE for me?

[Sterling] · Post by **[Sterling]** » February 5th, 2011, 6:51 pm

I'd go through half a meter of water in falcon. I've done it before lol. Although I followed another car so it cleared it out abit lol

bentls · Post by **bentls** » February 5th, 2011, 6:53 pm

i tried nailing a bitch on a bike tonight with water in my liberty lol... was about half a meter high

yeah was amazing to see. couldnt belive it. so much water it was scary.

lol i guess thats about the best responce id expect from you mate.
but long story short- was driving in worst rain i think i ever had, couldnt see 2foot infront of me.
was following seth and saw he went through water and before i had a chance to stop i was in the water then BANG and something went bang and car died. had some people stop and help us push it out of the water.
and as my radiator is on a lean to suit the OTR im assuming thats how so much water go in there.

due to the rain being soo bad i didnt know about the water at this roundabout mate. if id known, i wouldnt of gone through

LOW_XR · Post by **LOW_XR** » February 6th, 2011, 9:09 pm

so anyway i made a claim yesturday with RACV. fingers crossed for me boys. think ill need all the luck i can get.
with any luck it will be getting assesed this week sometime

oneredED · Post by **oneredED** » February 6th, 2011, 9:53 pm

On the off chance your claim is denied, I know someone who would be interested in purchasing it from you.

Fingers crossed it doesn't come to that though

AaronEF8 · Post by **AaronEF8** » February 6th, 2011, 10:13 pm

Thats pretty shit. I've always heard about this, but have only heard of it happening to 4WDs.

The OTR would be similar height to the NC. I'd say the difference being it's aimed straight into the manifold, where on an E-Series, the water would have travel uphill a bit.

On the bright side, LSx stroker crate motors are mega cheap, and our dollar is good.

Yeah fair enough if you didn't see it due to the rain, I was more talking about people who do it on purpose (I watched a BMW X5 die a watery death in 2009 - it was following a pajero, the pajero pulled over to do a u-turn to avoid the water but the X5 guy drove around him, massive bow wave then glug glug glug....tow truck time)

Parfrey · Post by **Parfrey** » February 6th, 2011, 10:17 pm

Really sad to see that happen to such a nice ute! are you going to remove the otr for the inspection? i know i would be!
U never know if they do cover it you might be able to wangle some sort of tuffer engine??

nstg8a · Post by **nstg8a** » February 6th, 2011, 10:22 pm

water can be deceptive as hell too, it might look a lot shallower than it really is...

heebyJeebies · Post by **heebyJeebies** » February 7th, 2011, 7:41 am

so you were driving around after you found out it was unregistered?

insurance would definitely try to use that against you i would think

stevo · Post by **stevo** » February 7th, 2011, 7:48 am

Sorry to hear about this mate.
Am suprised you were driving it after finding out it was unregistered though lol

Dansedgli · Post by **Dansedgli** » February 7th, 2011, 8:05 am

Is it only the motor that got damaged?

What is one worth from the wreckers?
