So how come his windscreen was smashed, and blood spattered over the car?

When are they going to f*****g-well learn? Just because they got a licence doesn't meant they know how to drive.They DO NOT have the skill.

I hope he gets banned for life.

i second that i dont understand how 60 year old drivers are better then p plate drivers, atleast we can see the road....

let me put it this way guys sure there are wanker drivers over 25 but just look at the statistics it tells all.i am sure there are plenty of good level headed p platers out there but you will never have the experience that an older driver has.dont be too quick to judge people my 2 cents if you dont like it lump it .......mike........

eat a F***n knob, im a RED p plater and i drive a turbo skyline, have been since i got my L's 4 yrs ago. so before u go on barking bout how p-platers shouldnt have been driving a 2.5ltr turbo, you might wanna try thinking. as there is a shitload of p-platers who have an exemption to drive turbo cars, or had there p's before the rule was introduced, so therefore are entitiled to drive it. and im sure most of us do alot better job than alot of monkeys on there full licence.

hahah lol here we go!! ehhe

yeah hered he did the runner from a rbt. then blew .038. like 3 beeres. its the should or shouldnt i run question that always ends in disaster. and thats when experiance comes into it.

i had a friend do the runner. he got away till they knocked on his door the following day. he got 2 years no licence and 200hours com service. and about 8k in legals. all for what? 15-30k over :S

Hang on...why are you still on your RED P's after 4 years?

Everyday I see many P-Platers not doing the right thing when driving on the road. Eg 130kph+ on the freeway or 80 in 50 and 40 zones, usually while hiding their P-plates behind the number plate or inside the rear window.

And with incidents like the crash yesterday, it gives the police more reason to aim their attention at the younger less experienced drivers. However, if you don't do aything wrong, then you have nothing to worry about.

dont mind them joe its not there fault they couldnt afford a skyline when they were our age .... i bet if they could theyd jump at the chance of buying one...

Firstly, keep the insults to yourselves guys.

Secondly, I think here, just like everywhere else, everyone is jumping to their own pre-judged conclusions. According to the SMH "The driver of the vehicle, a 20-year-old Liverpool man, was charged with failing to stop after a collision occasioning death and failing to submit to a breath test."

Note, he was not charged with negligent driving occaisioning death, he was not charged with any speeding offences, he was charged with failing to stop etc.

A court will hear all the evidence and decide on this guys guilt or innocence of whatever charges wind up being laid.

The comments by witnesses about 'the familiar hiss of a turbo car' are meaningless as most of us have had people glare/yell/gesture/wave the pinky at us without even exceding the speed limit.

As for the P plater arguments - they're getting old. Get over it. People will always die, younger drivers will always be over represented in the statistics. We should all just do what we can by leading by example, that's young people and older people.

Yep, I'd second that too.

I know some "P" platers that are pretty good drivers and some older people that are pretty good drivers, and i also know some "P" platers that drive like idiots and some older drivers that drive like idiots.

Its not the license that someone holds that dictates what sort of driver they are, its the person. Old or young doesn't really matter, what matters is the attitude of that driver and how they choose to use their car on public roads. Dickheads are dickheads and there will always be one somewhere and you will always hear more about them in the papers and on the news.

I highly doubt that you will ever see a report on how Mrs Sinclair from the hills district expertly negotiated a tricky round about near a local school with precision, skill and safety while sticking to the 40kmph school zone speed limit. The news and the media thrive on drama, its sells papers and gets people watching the right channel so they see the commercials in that time slot. Why do you think i don't read papers or watch the news? Its always plane crash this and hundreds dead that. Negative, negative, negative! Who needs it?

On a lighter note, approximately 40 responsible skyline and performance car owners took part in a fun and educational wet skid pan and track day yesterday down at Sutton rd complex near Canberra. It was reported that all had a good time and that the sausage sandwiches at lunchtime were cooked to perfection. After the fun had finished many cars needed a good bath!!!

There's a newsflash for ya's!!! :yucky:

1 less tosser in his 33 with chromies & shopping list who probly wouldn't wave to me anyway.

Sick of all the P-plater bashings,im a green P-plater,havent had a warning or anything since i got my Line.

Yes obviously some people are more able,confident drivers then others whether their a P-plater or not.

But some people are just down right Di$*'s Like most people i see with chromies and shopping lists from autobahn.

It's a shame it had to go down like this but im glad that r33 driver is off the road and not giving skyline

drivers a bad rep. further more

So if I go to the RTA tomorrow and get my full licence that will make me a better driver? lol I wouldn't be a "stupid P plater" anymore would I, and the only experience I would have gained is another day in my life.

Aside from the P plater argument, he was an idiot and probably would of caused the same accident in an econobox. Assuming the Telegraph isn't exagerating, firstly he was on his Ps in NSW with a blood alcohol level of over 0.0000, definition would be infinitely over the legal limit. Secondly, he either tried to defy physics and go around a corner to quickly, or was simply doing stupid shit, resulting in hitting someone and a parked car. Thirdly, he tried to run, literally run away from the crash/hit and run, as well as some police dogs. Ask yourself if these actions should result in a whole agrument on P plater bashing or performance car banning

One thing I find funny though...

"We've been asking for speed humps or traffic lights for years because these guys just use this place like a speedway,'' Surrey Ave resident Ali Derbus said.

Got happy fun time obsticle course? :thumbsup:

    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
    • Its sort of street but got used for circuit sprints on account of I never drive it on the road because I dont have the time to spare. So it usage was sits around for months at a time then gets driven either 50 or 250 kms to the track followed by 20 laps followed by 50 or 250kms home followed by stuck in the shed until next time. So yeah neither fish nor fowl. Just dont want to break it on the track as a preference. Hence the fairly short sensor/mod list. Probably more worried about it pinging itself to destruction more so than anything oil related.
    • My thing I'd be doing, is pulling it out, and just getting the tune cleaned up for now. Before that even happens, checking over everything, like vac hoses, fuel hoses, etc. No point dropping thousands on sensors if the moment you start it back up all the oil leaks out, or it has massive vacuum leaks etc.   But really, to know what to do, depends on what your use case is. Hard core track car? Throw most sensors available at it. Street car, I'd probably just run oil pressure, oil temps, water pressure, water temp, probably fuel pressure too. I don't know exactly what the Link can handle and do with those though. And if it's mainly just to cruise the streets, rather than mountain runs, you can probably skip most of the above if you've already got them in as gauges and warning lights.   PS, inb4 "sell it and buy a modern sportscar"
