Has anyone seen the front page of todays Manly Daily.

Someone in a ECR33 smashed into a ute in Belrose last night. It is estimated he was doing double the speed limit at the time.

It was a 17 year old P Plater.

Now I never really post on these forums, but I just had to jump on here and post this up.

Every time someone pull's a hero move like this it effects the whole community, it justifies the attention P platers get from the Police.

Please slow down guys.. Take it to the track.

I think it's just that area between ForestWay and Terry Hills; long straight roads, flat and rarely patrolled by police - kinda like WSID without the extra kms.

This has been the 3rd major accident I've heard of in that area in the last year. Last two involved another Skyline and a motorcycle...

Don't people learn?

Another farking tool who spoils it for the rest of us

Hope he gets locked up.

They only fined him.. Apparently they could not accurately judge the speed he was going.

I was driving through the back streets of French's Forest in my gtst a few weeks ago, and some guy in a R31 decided to cut sick behind me. His drifto display was credable, but it was so not the right place for it. He lost control of the car, and missed a set of parked car's by less than half a meter.

Steven, you can be sure there are still plenty of P-Platers driving turbocharged imports despite the new laws.

This no doubt means there are alot of uninsured idiots cruising the streets that you really want to keep your distance from.

Yeah since that guy killed the couple on the Great Western Hwy recently i've noticed a lot LESS hooning compared to normal. I got my R33 like a week after that incident and not ONCE has anyone tried to race me in the weeks since! Guess the majority of us are mature about our cars, but it takes a handful of knobs to destroy our rep instantly.

True. I've seen a few P's with V8 utes too.

Thats just stupid... Is that law even enforced?

Maybe its my plates, or the combinationt of stock rims and exhaust, I reall don't know, but no one EVER wants to drag me... One time i was asked, on some back rural street, flat road and straight as an arrow, I still said no... I probably would have had my ass handed to me anyway :)

How did you notice less people trying to race you if you didnt own the car before the incident? :)

You're right though, the majority of us are responsible. Its the usual deal that a few wankers make the name for the rest of us.

i was challenged one 4 seperate occasions on sunday whilst driving to street race, and its ridiculous how people think its ok to race on the street.

save it for the track, these guys come out to a track day and will get their asses handed to them.....so what u can drag off at the lights, its not a matter who is faster or better, its a matter of how far ur willing to break the law...if ur dumber then the next guy, then u win....

is it just me or does that picture of the wreck look wrong.....bonnet folded like a tin can, front panels looked stripped, side pannels poped off, but no real impact damage....

Obviously hit the back of the ute. Tray crumpled the bonnet and ripped off one guard. Front bar probably still attached to the ute.

im a red p plater and 18 and drive a 33 ( non turbo )...sure p platers cause heaps of accidents like above but also there is alot of people on a full license ( that also have accidents ) that pull up beside me..its common sense to let it go and some p platers lack it.. trust me im not defending him he just made me a bigger target now if possible.

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      By weikleenget · Posted

      I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
