Seems like whenever there is a horrible car crash the driver survives most of the time, and one or more passengers are killed.

Ok here the thing you come waking round the corner hand in hand with Lockie to the sound a screeching tyre's and a wrx screaming towards you no time to move or even say save me Jesus, you and Lockie are pinned to the stobie your knocked out cold and Little Lockie didnt stand a chance killed instantly, you wake up 3 months later from a massive brain heamoridge you ask to see Lockie not knowing he has been killed.

a little dramatic i think not you were with me the night we saw a young lady killed on the side of the road run over in the prime of her life

yeah bunny, steve is religious, church goer etc and I look up to him (yes you madaz!) for that, although its not my belief

200% I know steve would have said his prayers for the deceased.

rip, and I hope many many ppl can learn from this.

++++++

now, big one. will effect my mind at night for a long long time

last night I picked up my 2.5yr old Deontae from child care, on walk home he ran across the road when I said "after this car" and he was mm from being killed 1m in front of me

so so scary. speeding car, not holding hands for a moment (oh god never again, I cant forgive myself for what happened yesterday), standing partially behind a parked car so child coulnt be seen by van driver,

he bolted as soon as I said "after......" and I couldnt do anything. so helpless with no knees, just could not move fast enough 1m to my front/left to grab him - no stability to move quickly.

van saw him and swerved (no brake lights) very minimally, then realized what happened. came back and abused me angrily, tarago full of family/kids, they were off their tap, understandably. all I said was Im sorry about 5x.

if she didnt move the steering wheel to the right by 5mm, it would have been death - I saw it in a flash, deontae flung 30m to the sidewalk, almost dead life and death.

I see preminitions, life choices like dejavu where there are 2 choices right there and then, and 2 outcomes, both that massively effect your life path. Ive had these visions since childhood, and see things what can happen and then what does happen, all in a split second.

I saw what almost happened to my child.

It was horrible, seeing for 0.1sec him hit and in the air for 30m, then the .1sec of life/death after being hit, then the actual event the next .2sec where the van sped past and missed by half a foot.

wow

to the van driver, Im sorry, but I thank god you were attentive enough to make an adjustment to your steering.

everyone , slow down in metro area where kids could be.

Thats a nice fanciful story there steve but it hardly justifies the comment about wrx owners learning their lesson...yes, shit happens but an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. The driver is going to have to live with the fact he killed somebody. Isn't there a christian saying about 'turning the other cheek'?....

-D

EDIT: Actually the saying I was thinking of was 'Let he who is without sin cast the first stone'

whats so sad here is that the deceased had his life xroad path in front of him when he decided to get in that seat, not at the accident scene.

so far back in time (when got in car), so innocent as far as his choice to do so instead of not getting in car, but getting in that seat, saying whatever ie "nice corner" 5minutes before or something, each minute there are life xroad choices............., such a simple and innocent personal choice (to get in car) ended his life.

see it in your eyes, learn a lesson. just be so careful, we wield the power of life and death over other people.

make your choices wisely

hmmm, I can definitely see 2 sides here.

1./ The hoon drivers out there (not just WRX drivers) definitely need to learn a lesson from this....if someone killed my kid from hoon behaviour, there would be 2 funerals & 1 imprisonment. My dad would always say, "Learning from other people's mistakes is always better than learning from your own".

2./ You have to feel compassion for all involved, including the driver.........we can't imagine how this will affect the rest of his and his familiy's lives from here on.

yeah, reading this and what happened to me / deontae last night - really hits home for me

just got to be that 5% more careful in metro area

never had accident, and am so careful, but really we all need to be on the ball.

You've taken that out of context Ben and too many people use that as an excuse to turn a blind eye to the wrong doings of others.

That quote was directed at people about to kill a female for prostitution when some of them had been guilty of the same or worse

I don't think I've taken it out of context, simply because it (as a saying) has become part of western life. I'm sure some of the dickheads out there who are beating their chests about this have done stupid things aswell. Cause lets face it, nobody is a saint, nobody leads a flawless life, and therefore people should look in the mirror. I love it how hypocritical this society is. Say one thing, do the other...

Are we all going to heap shit on someone for a stupid stupid mistake? I'm not. If you guys want to hate on, thats your prerogative, I for one would prefer to forgive and live without the bad karma.

-D

Edit; incidentally, if the men were going to stone a prostitute and were guilty 'of the same or worse' does that mean they were all whoring themselves?

      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.
