I just thought I should post this up for a work mate of mine...

This morning at Blacktown near First Ave, a motorcyclist was killed when he was hit by a truck. This happened to be the boyfriend of a girl I work with, she didn't even get to say goodbye to him this morning as he left for work...

Best wishes to her and her family, it's definately a very sad and solemn day in the office and Patrick will be dearly missed.

Drive safe guys and always make sure your loved ones know they are loved and cared about, you never know what can happen...

R.I.P Patrick :blink:

Hi Emily,

I wrote a book called "Good Grief - Bad Time" '3 Ways Of Coping With Loss' in '05 after we lost a son/brother in '04

Your workmate is welcome to have one gratis if she's up to it - sometime in the future.

You're not far away; and I can bring it to you if you wish... via PM

It's currently distributed by a Reg. Charity www.bushchurchaid.com.au for anyone else. And every red cent goes to charity.

Prayers for those grieving... RIP

My condolences to his friends & family.

I was on my way to work at the time & got held up there just after it happened.

Won't go into what I seen or what had happened etc but will just say it is a very unfortunate accident that such a young man be taking away so early in his life. I spent all day worrying if he had a Mr's or children left behind. Such terrible tragedy. My heart goes out to his loved ones...

RIP Patrick.

May heaven hold a better place for you brother.

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.

      Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.

      As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.

      but any other area than the bulge you are talking about will just cave in then? The front driver side is pretty bent so I don't know if that will work the way it is now. I can still kinda make out where that bulge is/was but it looks like the position of it also changed due to all the mistreatment? Hard to tell

      Absolutely. Look very closely at the photo (of yours) that I took my second snip of. See how the sill is thicker material right behind the pinchweld, where the two notches are? That is the factory reinforced area for lifting. That pad is supposed to carry the weight. The factory jack (go look at it, and how it interfaces with the car at the pinchweld) shows you exactly how the load is carried from the car to the jack to the ground.
