As people have said, if this was the type of add on TV for safer driving it might have more impact, particularly with such a backing track.

Much better then a grainy beer add trying to limit drinking.

A couple of those circumstances were interesting, the swerve to avoid the dog that ended un the lover squashie embrace is a common occurance, it is or was against the law. You are/were not allowed to deviate from your course to avoid a domestic animal, just for the reason as demonstrated. Having a skyline that handeled or braked instead of a shit box would not have resulted in the same situation.

The other situation was where the fellow was going around the corner to find a broken down car in the lane. Even doing the speedlimit would have resulted in the same outcome there. Goes to prove drive within sighted braking distance, ignore speed limits. Get better tyres and buy a car that brakes (skyline anyone?)

I think this is just a montage of all the best/worst car crash ads

Get better tyres and buy a car that brakes (skyline anyone?)

More importantly, buy a car with ABS, Stability Control and Electronic Brake Assist, and learn what they do and how they work. All of the example accidents could of been prevented or at least lessened the damage caused with the use of these aids.

In saying that, Attitude is the most important factor. If everyone had the right attitude, and made better risk assessments, there would be no need for the above aids. But everyone makes mistakes and you would need everyone to pay attention 100% of the time and take note to the techniques that can be used (and more importantly, put into practice). Realistically, never going to happen :D

If each of those cars were travelling only 10kmh faster they would have been down the road past the point of the accident before it even happened...

The lesson here is - travel 10kmh over the limit everywhere to avoid accidents :D

i dont think these adds will be shown in australia cause the government doesn't have the balls to show such graphic stuff. might spark a "public outcry" about how its too graphic and shit.

saw these adds a few years ago as well so its unlikely we'll see these anytime soon.

also not everyone has Tsuchiya levels of driving skill like you Reece haha

or 10km/h under... but we all know this isn't an option

      This is the GTR fuel pump. Yellow shows 12V, orange shows earth. The ECU provides the earth to activate the fuel pump relay. The ECU side of teh relay will pull low when the ECU activates. This is the RB20 fuel pump. Almost the same, but a little simpler. You can see I indicated (above) where the 12V line goes down to the RB20 diagram on the overall diagram, whch shows both RB26 and RB20. This is where I show it coming in on the RB20 diagram below. You can see that the dropping resistor is handled differently. When the fuel pump control is not providing earth to the pump, the pump earths through the dropping resistor and thus runs at lower voltage (some is wasted over the resistor) and runs slower. I showed that "not 12V and not quite earth" portion of the wiring in a paler orange. The rest of the wiring that I did not colour on that little section below the pump would be orange when the fuel pump coontroller is providing earth. This drop is handled inside the fuel pump controller in the GTR. Regardless, you can see where 12V is supposed to be, where earth is supposed to be. The key on prime is via the ECU providing the pump for only a few seconds the switching off. You should be able to see that happen.

      Yeah so when you turn key to IGN the fuel pump should run for a few seconds. If you find the fuel pump relay (and have a multimeter, and a second person) to can check the relay inputs.  One trigger pin should be either fully earthed  The other trigger pin should get 12v from the ECU for say 3 seconds when you turn key to IGN, and at all times that key is at START (note, I said this from memory, it may be the other way around, ie one pin always has IGN 12v and the earth has continuity to earth when you turn the key) One Pin should have a good battery voltage The last pin goes to the fuel pump + Also note that if the power to the relay is good, and the relay is working, it is worth checking the pump has a good earth too. There is a computer in the standard system that increases the earth resistance to slow down the pump when not required, pretty old school and it may have failed

      All this talk about fuel and fancy ECUs, meanwhile my poor old R32 has neither.... When the ignition is turned on, should there be power running o the fuel pump constantly or just for the few seconds it usually takes to prime the pump? About to go have another look at it, have watched some YouTube vids on how to use a  multimeter and looked at some wiring diagrams but really have NFI what I'm looking for because electricity is invisible

      Yuh....but weren't all the supertourers, except maybe the Audis, FWD? I don't recall any of the others being AWD.

      They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox) They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox)
