The girl didn't die at the scene, she was taken to hospital and then died there due to compulsive internal bleeding. The driver is a dick. How do I know... my friend's girlfriend is his sister. Dumb fag... he's stupid enough to drive so fast under the influence of alcohol, but bringing others with him... simply dumb... regrets for the girl... such a waste of life.

Definitely agree that it's the persons fault for getting in the car in the first place, but I guess you just think it'll never happen to you. I think something like this happening to a close group of friends or family is the only way of making people realise not to get into a car with a drunk/drugged up driver at the wheel. I know it has for me..

Hmm, I think the passengers in the car would have been drunk/ intoxicated as well so they probably had poor decision making activity going on in their heads. Having said that, I hope that this makes people realise the idiocy of not voting some poor fellow as designated driver before the night starts; but I know it won't.

what a waste

let this be a lesson to the younger members on this forum... if you don't trust the driver DON'T get in the car... and if you are in a car where the driver is making you uncomfortable DEMAND they pull over and let you out... if they tell you to chill out tell them to get f*cked and pull over

when I was about 19 we had been to a club and I wanted to move my car about 3 blocks away and I said to my friends jump in so we will have less to walk etc... they flat out refused and it was only because they were so strongly opposed to the idea I realised what a dumb idea it was and left the car there... its hard to make the right decisions when you are young and pissed so best to leave the cars at home

yep we have all been through it... of all the drugs I've ever experienced its effects are by far the most dangerous when it comes to decision making and basic motor skills... and its legal... nothing ever changes, young people + alcohol + cars don't mix

just found out today that the driver is actully a mate that i havent seen in a couple of months, and he's a top bloke, if you dont know him, dont go talking sh*t about him. he made on very f*cking big mistake, and it's just so unfortunate that in this case the consequences were so great.

everyone on here would have done stupid things in there cars, some by drink driving, driving on drugs etc, and i rkn nearly everyone on here has done stupid sh*t in there cars and lost control completely, but most come out unscathed, that doesnt make you all saint's, just because you came out clean doesnt make you any better than the driver in this case, just luckier

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
