Report:-

Last night, westbound on The Crescent Rd., Newport, an inexperienced 24 yr old driver took his restored car for a test drive with a friend.

He ended up hitting a tree. Only minor injuries are reported to have been sustained.

The Datsun 1600 was apparently unregistered.

The driver died... Terry you also forgot to mention he was a P plater.. Bloody P platers *shakes fist* :(

Read here. http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/pplate...9189565133.html

Im a P plater, and that sort of stuff just seriously ruins out reputation on the road. But not only P Platers, look at the 44 year old idiot..

The glamourise the whole P Plate accident, yet only provide limited information on the 44 year old who died.. if they made that much of an effort to dig up info on the P plater why not the 44 year old man.. RIP 2 both of them.. but it shows how biased the media can be. Sorry for hijacking guys :)

Poor datto :( .. looked so good .. Friggin' idiot for taking it for a "spin"

Datto looked pretty good too :(

I really dont know what to say, He was preb excited to take it for its first drive....but an idiot for it to be unreg and by soudns of it, speed being a factor....

what a shame, at this time of year too...

speed being a factor....

That phrase is one of my pet peeves.

Of course speed is a factor. Speed is a factor in any crash. The only way an object can have no speed is if its not moving, in which case the laws of physics say it's impossible for it to hit anything else.

you know what is far worse? people who condemn the speeding, after the accident, because they never speed. not once has there been a bit of stick given on the streets by these saints. even at 24yo, with their newly built car.

cmon !!! get real !!! i'm so sick of hearing it.

of course, i dont condone speeding on the street. but simply put, be realistic ... @^#%#*!!!!

do you think you're scoring brownie points? next time the cops pull you over, are they gonna say, hmm its weevil, left him off with a hand job ?!!!!

monkey boy wtf?

your kidding right?

what you on about?

when did I say I dont speed? when did I try and score brownie points? wtf??

I was reading the article mate, and if you read it, they say he was doing at least 90km in a 50 zone.

Your a joke monkey boy.

hahaha, dont get too worked up princess. its not a go at you. its a go at that old and tired 'speeding' bullshit, from a bunch of hypocrites.

its obvious speeding is unsafe. you shouldnt do it. and if you do, you're taking your life, and perhaps other's, into your own hands. it can have devistating affects. thats not the point though.

btw, thanks for the seemingly civil PM, followed by name calling in your post. that's classy :)

and its - YOU'RE a joke Munkyb0y

i find it very hard to believe that anyoneee here has NEVER sped in their skyline.If uve sped before, then dont sit here and have a go at someone for doing it. the bloke made a mistake and he paid the GREATEST penalty, so back off :)

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
