I also agree with GTST, while lamenting the loss of his friend yesterday he is out racing on public roads doing the exact same thing that cost his friends life. Get off the road before you kill someone moron!

These "skyline enthusiasts" are the ones that give the rest of us a bad name. Street race and you're a bloody moron. While its sad to see someone lose their life so needlessly, I really don't have any sympathy for anyone who can be so wreckless and put innocent bystanders in danger for a little adrenaline rush.

Um, we are all Skyline enthusiasts. Whether you like it or not.

Thats like saying we're all road users whether you like it or not, even if we break the law repeatedly and have been fortunate enough not to get caught yet. Unfortunately alot of street racers get taken off the road when its too late, this is a good example of that.

I have no problems with people enjoying their cars, we all love them or we wouldn't be here, however we have a responsibility to everyone around us to use them responsibly. Unfortunately its incidents like this that tear apart families, kill innocent people, give creedance to the skyline stereotypes, raise our insurance premiums etc etc. Save the racing for the strip or track, and maybe incidents like these can be avoided and the roads can be safer for all of us.

im sure you have had times when you give your car a bit of go on the road..in which case yo have gone pass the speed limit

everyone has

stopping pretending to be so f**ken innocent

the moral of the story is to educate people, stop people from doing it...so that innocent lives can be saved

Mate I can honestly say I have never raced someone on the streets. Have I sped before? Yep, but nothing like the scenario suggested on local streets.

The point of the story is, that the original poster has posted this message of don't race on the streets, and clearly by some of his other posts, has not taken his own advice. We cop a bad wrap from the cops and general public, based purely on the cars we drive. It's incidents like these that give them good reason to give us a bad wrap.

for every person that has posted their thoughts on this matter regarding the loss of your friend, there is probably about 50 or so others who read and haven't known how to put their thoughts onto the forum, so think about that!

as for those posting nasty comments, you don't REALLY think like that you're just looking to cause uproar, please leave these thoughts in your minds, it's not necassary, there's a time and a place!

RIP,

I am not going to preach, I am not going to pretend I am innocent of street racing when I was younger.

To the people having a go,

Try the backspace button, It will remove your unneccesary comments and allow you to go through life with less people knowing you are an asshole. That's a positive for all.

As I am writing this (with much use of the backspace button) some nutbag is ripping it up in my 'hood, just as well my son is in his bed.

Sometimes it's best to shut the f**k up and have a little respect.

Try listening with your ears not your mouth.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      R12 has not been not available for....decades now. Propane is not a great replacement. (I mean, it's a great replacement, but it is a bit too flammable). R134a being the only way to go forward with an R12 system. The design pressures etc, are close enough to R12's to work. The ability to move heat around is close enough to R12's to work.

      Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By V35_Paul · Posted

      careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
