*sigh* here comes the publicity :thumbsup:

Hard to say what caused the accident though, out in Gidgegannup there are some fast roads, so he may not have been doing anything wrong. Will have to wait and see... In any case, hope he rests in piece.

car ripped in 2 means a good chance of doing something wrong but that doesnt take away from the fact that it is still sad. most of us including myself went through that stage, luckily most of us come out the other end - but i lost a mate on the way so news stories like this make me cringe

yeah i heard it on radio.. near toojay?

but least he is with his pride a joy o.o

"A Bellevue man died last night after the car he was driving split in two after slamming into a tree in Gidgegannup.

Insp. Trevor Davis said the 23-year-old lost control of the Nissan Skyline he was driving on Toodyay Road near Roland Road about 10pm .

He said that after rounding a bend, the car slid for more than 70 metres before hitting a tree on the driver's side.

"The impact was so severe that the vehicle split in two, the front end coming to rest 16 metres past the impact point," Insp. Davis said.

The man died at the scene. It is believed speed was a factor."

He wasnt necessarily driving like a hoon, a few years ago i lost a friend to a similar accident, her car swerved and hit a tree but it caught alight, and im fairly certain she wasnt hooning.

It could happen to anybody.

Poor guy, RIP.

Poor dude.

What's even worse is that it was all the way out there.

Next car to drive past you if you crash could be half an hour away, then you've gotta wait for an ambo, and then survive the trip back to the hospital .... bad place to crash at high speed.

Pfft that's not remote.. when I was up north over Xmas I was worried about hitting a cow, rolling the truck and bleeding out in the middle of nowhere.. hell, on Xmas day we went 11hrs without seeing another vehicle on the road.

No shit, but Gidge isnt exactly a busy area either even at 7 in the morning.

Its fairly busy on weekdays on that road, everyone uses it, but sometimes it becomes fairly quiet,

      R33 Rear Skyline Light Up Garnish

      By elohim_imanu · Posted

      I also built one, for a bit of a laugh. Pretty happy with it. Basically, obtained a clear garnish, painted it sanded back the paint off the letters, clear coated it. Inserted a 3cm EL strip through a slot I created in one end and sealed it up.

      So i brought a boat...

      By 84eighty · Posted

      wow so i just logged back in after buying the 33 and joining SAU, And I've got all a whole bunch of you wanting to know more, well unfortunately it still doesn't run i was hoping it was seized from a snapped timing belt as i turned it over by hand and it was fine and then it did a few revolutions and jammed solid when i was running it with the key, so the timing belt is mint, I've also found a lot of the parts I'm removing have already got bolts undone or not quiet tight enough to be unsuspicious. so the plan is to find a running RB30 block and chuck my head on it.  I have a habit of buying stuff I don't need or require so for my none running engine i have a forward facing plenum , Apexi power fc, 40mm Turbosmart wastegate, And for the car its self coilovers ,low seat rails and BRZ seats (black seats with red stitching i already had these and they are ADR Approved and allow rear passengers access)

      I took apart the dash and found this strange 2 pin connector. it dosen't seem like its factory or oem, any clue on why someone would add it and where it might have been connected too?

      I need more than help to finish my R33

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Not mention a SS2 especially with that rear oddly small rear housing. I feel the Facebook mechanics and experts has led OP in the wrong direction.
