Anybody see that on the news?

The word is a champagne IS200 owned by a guy named Ronald, turbo'ed up and fully bombed out was dragging dudes down Leach Hwy. He lost it round a bend, snapped a lamp post in half, then hit a tree and snapped that in half at the base too.

Then the car catches fire, blows up and burns the two nice 20 year old girls in his back seat to death.

And he survives.

Makes me sick how stupid some people can be.

Hopefully he's gonna have plenty of time to think about how he's gonna live with himself when he's in jail.

Apparently this guy was at the drags quite a bit. Anybody seen/know him?

on a public road? with 2 passengers? I mean some things just shouldn't have happened.....no matter how he never intended it...he had the intentions to race, that is all.

Lets show some respect for the poor girls that died ;)

We all try and show off now and again. Now this poor guy has to live with the fact that his actions caused the death of his friends.

My Sympathies to the families of the girls and of the driver

ARGH34,

It can happen to all of us, please bear in mind.

And stop being a dickhead ok? it's a tragedy and he is my friend.

Last words, don't post a thread w/o knowing the real story, (Then the car catches fire, blows up and burns the two nice 20 year old girls in his back seat to death) that's wrong as godfather said.

Guys please pray for them.

Hey back off erik.

If he was going as fast as what people are saying he was going, he is a fool. It is tragic and very sad, and I sympathise for all involved, but it really shouldn't have happened.

I think this can "happen to all of us" only if we regularly like to speed down public roads with passengers in our cars.

As for getting the facts right, I didn't want to get into the details, but that was the gist of what happened.

my thoughts go out to thos involved, the dude is nice bloke form what i seen, everyone tends to speed once in a while, things happen, bam,erik so sorry guys :D

don't judge when you don't know the truth!

adrian ;)

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
