Please be careful on the roads, guys. Freak accidents like this happen. I knew, not well, but knew the guy who died today. The panel beating shop he ran in the west was devastated when they heard the news. Did anyone see the accident?

I was caught in that traffic jam. Took me 2 hours to move 2.5 kms.

A truckie behind me got out and took a squirt next to his diesel tanks. Then a lady in front stopped in the emergency lane, opened both driver side doors and had a squat.

LOL she's clearly done this before. I wouldn't have thought of doing that myself.

Someone dies because instead of continuing on with their life they stopped to help someone...and people believe there's a god? If there is he/she ain't kind!

lol, people will say "god" works in mysterious ways.

Funny how 'God' to some people has become just something to blame things on when shit goes wrong, its pathetic.

RIP to the poor guy, and his family.

Did anyone else find it a bit insensitive that all the policeman was talking about was the traffic, when an innocent bloke has died!?

The clip went for 64 seconds and he commented on the traffic for the last 17 seconds, i guess you must have watched a different clip.

This is the second time i know of this happening in almost the same location, last time an axle broke on a truck, the tyre and axel bounced off the sound barrier and hit a sub contractor mowing the grass.

Not at all, what with free will and all. But a lack of divine intervention? Yes, he/she could cut someone a lttle slack maybe and prevent that from happening - given we hear of people claiming to have their prayers answered. And particularly when we have a heap of rules and morals dictating in his/her words what a good person is supposed to be - how unfortunate that judgement comes after the tyre flying at 90km/h to take you out on the way to helping someone.

      Is this saveable r32 gtr seat

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Yep that's a superb price and ther is no way you will over capitalise on you investment.  As to the bracket, again just use the passenger side seat  bracket ( obviously reversed ) as a sample to reshape it and in this case, TIG it back together.

      I had no transmission at all so I managed to find a big box manual gearbox from an R34 GTT for an insanely good price in EU. I converted it to push type which cost more than the transmission almost, with parts from Amayama! These engines are very strong and can put out decent power with a properly sized turbo. You can save on money from parts like pistons and rods, and invest those in the transmission and other parts. I suggest you join the RB20 Enthusiasts facebook group, plenty of info and almost daily posts there about 20DE/DET/Neo+T builds. (I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules by mentioning third party platforms, just trying to help the buddy out)

      Yeah, having tried all of those methods including BBQ+recipro/hacksaw, I ended up buying a bush press kit under $150 that works well, like this: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355967727167?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=sfmmuhxgqhm&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=dJvnaZ11TB-&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY It basically has a range of pushers and cups with threaded rods between to press out a range of large bushes. The problem with any sawing solution is minimising damage to the subframe side, although it probably needs a quick sand afterwards no matter what solution you try due to damage

      Hi. Thanks for the answer. I do not have instagram 😄 I too considering turbo the RB20DE NEO 🙂 But i think i upgrade the gearbox first or at least buy new.
