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"

MRXTCZ

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 :)

    • One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that ne side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D
    • Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.
    • I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.
    • Don't assume the AC relay signal from the ECU is +, some models including Stagea use an earth trigger.
    • Hey good to see you on the forums! Haha Considering this cars past with electronic issues I am leaning towards it being a wiring fault somewhere in the engine bay. When testing the ac relay in the fuse box there was no earth trigger. I am probably going to try "bench test" the compressor by giving it direct ground and power to see if i can hear the ac clutch click otherwise I will be pretty sure I have a dead compressor. If it does work then I will be tracing some wiring it seems.
