Ok sled or any moderators please watch this thread as it is only an option/suggestion not a debate :banana:

I was sitting here having a debate with my parents about this whole car accident and recent ones.. now to those who decided to turn the other thread into a debate about everything other than paying your respects this does not include you.

I suggest those SAU members on the sunday of the funeral we chuck on some black ribbons to the cars with a small cruise to where the funeral is held as a sign of respect and a speedy recovery to the 33 driver. Some may have not known either but who said we cannot show unity and respect at a time like this?

Decent comments welcome, but you want to argue this.. leave now.

Fristly, this is a duplicated thread. One would question the logic of appearing in force at a funeral, after all there are going to be a lot of upset people there that may not appreciate 'high performance imports' at the funeral. If you want to rock up, fair enough but I don't think that this is something we should get involved in, unless we want to start a precedent of doing cruises for every car related fatality for every dude out there (no offence but he wasn't even a member of SAU - so why would I want to pay 'respect' for someone who was doing something brain achingly stupid?)

ok cheers, delete the thread and then have the idea somewhere else. Like someone said in the other thread and ACCIDENT is something not caused on purpose.. doesnt mean you cant pay respects to someone for losing the life.

Sure, if you know them personally. Its a bit weird to rock up at a funeral uninvited when you don't even know the bloke.

I dont see why SAU as a club should be rocking up to some dudes funeral at random when he wasnt even a poster. I sure as hell don't want to associate myself with that sorta stuff.

Otherwise we may as well join hands and sing kumbaya while holding placards 'wont someone please think of the children' at every opportunity

ok that post was fine till you decided to add "Otherwise we may as well join hands and sing kumbaya while holding placards 'wont someone please think of the children' at every opportunity"

Someone delete the thread already?

Well it reeks of the bleeding heart brigade. Just cause someone dies doesn't mean anything. People die every day, you don't see us doing charity cruises for them.

guys, no more threads please ....one is all that's required.

The thread that I locked was open long enough for peeps to give their condolences but it got to the point (after many warnings) where it became a ramble about Rann, tracks and stupid drivers.

and yes, the last thing the grieving family would need right now is a bunch of unknown Skylines crashing their time of mourning.

sometimes we can be very sincere in what we do, but at the same time be sincerely wrong.

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
