Hey guys me and my mates have organised a cruise for my brother who pasted away in a car accident on the 15/9/08 in a 180sx on commercial road.

The cruise will start off down south and head straight into the hills.

So far we have about 20 cars for sure and we started orgaising it yesterday.

2x r32 gtrs, 1 series 8 rx7, 2 rx3's, 1 180b sr20 powered, turbs 1200 and a couple of 33's to name a few.

Steven died in a import 180sx so lets all get together and cruise for someone who loved imports!

Cruise starts at 1:30 pm on march the 7th.

We are also trying to raise some money for his kids who have been left behind so they can try and have a good life without a dad with them. So if you can give a little please do. thanks guys

ummm not 100% sure yet till we get the report, but we think he was speeding and went to over take some one so pulled out and there was an island there so he swerved to miss it and crashed into a stobby pole.

Ok iv.e been thinking about this all night and seriously think this thread should be shut

far be it for me to cast the first stone but c'mon a charity cruise for someone's stupidity

no child should have to go through life without a parent but he would still be here if he wasn't being silly

Do you know all the details? Its not like any cash is going to the guy who died, its going to his kids, and I think is a nice way for this guy to honor his brother.

-D

I'm in 2 minds about this one :)

On one hand I see Steve's point in that if the aforementioned details as to how it happened are correct, then he paid a severe price for his stupidity & his family & friends are now suffering from it........and only big plus from all of this is that no innocent by-stander was taken down as well.

On the other hand, I see Ben's point of view and no matter how screwed up the circumstances were at the time, compassion for the guy's family & friends should be paramount right now (Steve, even Jesus showed compassion to those that had either stumbled or fallen).........based on that, I won't shut this down yet unless it gets silly in here.

Agreed Pete.

We don't know the full story. We all do stupid things ... for some people it cost them their lives. I hate hoons and drivers causing death, but there are always families who suffer on both sides of the coin.

    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day. 
    • It's all the sound deadening, and extra shit piled into them, plus all the extra (even though it's thinner) material for crumple zones. I can't fathom in modern cars why they need canbus to the headlights, and why the headlights must be vin coded on some cars to the ECU, BCM, and security module! Especially when they claim it's for security, yet, the canbus at the headlights let's thieves steal the car in minutes, so even more cars are being stolen! The Mercedes Sprinter 907 vans. They're a huge van, but a "basic" van. Yet they have that many canbus networks, plus two Lin networks, AND an Ethernet network. Logging a single network alone of 8 byte data frames, and they will generate a 20mb log file in 5 minutes. That's one network, and I can't remember the exact amount, but there's over 10 full CAN2.0B networks in them. I'm not a fan of modern cars, oddly, more and more I hate DBW, and all the bullshittery the cars try and interfere with. But all that bullshittery adds weight, plus crazy regulations on crumple zones, plus, ever picked a modern seat up, half of them have like 4 electric motors in them and will weigh 30+kg each. Then all the motors for things like adjustable steering columns blah blah blah. And did I mention the sound deadening so you can even hear an ambulance right behind you even if you 7.2surround sound is off?
    • Ah ok, yeah it should be flat, I believe the r34 battery tray has these 3 bumps in them they makes it line up and everything is flat, don't see how it would tilt if everything is secured.
    • Agreed it actively wants to kill you which I love driving fast cars slow is my stick
    • Awesome! I was thinking S14 since they are longer. I'll give those a shot. Thanks for the input!
