i want his front bar. (no disrespect)

;) sorry, couldn't help laughing at that one!

I know if I died, I rather die in my car than anywhere else. It's my baby, my life.

thats kinda scary there! i can tell you, there is plenty of other positions i'd prefer to be dying in, other than sitting down holding a knob :rofl:

Well a "weapon" can be anything, from a flower to a pencil but like anything, its how you use it that matters -and a car is as gentle as a kitten if you don't do silly things with it.. like speeding in the wet. Hope he wasn't a family man or anything - to see your father or husband go out like that would not be a pretty thing to live with for the rest of your life.

Thats a rather thoughtless comment?

What about the person who stumbles across your body, most likely in a bad state. And has to live with those images?

Uhm... someone has to stumble over your body at some time when it dies. Seeing a dead body is always traumatic, no matter if the person has just died in a bed or they have been split into 10 pieces, a dead body is a dead body. Do you think people really think just before they are about to die "hang on, what will the person think who's going to see me".

It's just a personal thought of mine that if I was ever to die, I'd rather die doing something I love, that one main love being my car.

We all have opinions and this is just mine.

just to ad a few cents as a mate of myn works near there, and from what he gathers the guy was on the highway and droped it down to third and hit boost and lost it over into the side road to hit the tree or something similar... its also should be noted that in the gold coast bulliten there is a writer comment (this weekends edition) some guy wrote in to protect '4wd' owners saying they shouldnt be banned from city road and quote 'the cars that shoudl be banned are the hoon cars"...

no doubt he had the original car crah in mind.

i cannot post it, but i looked at it tonight.  its very bad, the driver stood no chance, he must have been flat on the boards.

interesting to note the rego number, xxx-Ixx, so i would assume that the car was only recently aquired

i will not post the full rego, it saddens me that it happened.  A reminder that wet weather and speed do not go together and driving in situations such as that should not be taken lightly.

may he rest in peace whoever he was.

my numberplate is xxx-ICR so he only had it for about 7 months at the most.

i was lucky enough to learn my lesson in a very monor ding.

i hope that every crazy driver out there learns something from this horrific crash.

speed kills.

may the namesless driver rest in peace.

Poor guy. Its Unfornate how one mistake can take your life from you in an instant.

I nearly killed myself because of something stupid I did on the road when I was 17. Can say I have learned alot since then though. I was lucky but it could have been very different I can tell you.

My condolances to his family & friends.

A very sad day for the drivers family and drivers everywhere, not just us Skyliners, but all drivers should learn from this horrible tragedy!

    • 2 spots that my exhaust guy joined the 2 pipes together  Made a big difference. I'm now able to live with it. I can make it louder if I want by removing the HKS caps.
    • Hi all, considering clutch upgrade to support 1130 engine hp from 1650cc injectors on e50 at 85% duty cycle (1650 x (11.85/14.7) x 85%). Narrows down to these three as they can be converted to use gm 26 spline input shaft if I ever want to use transmission with that input shaft (orc1000f and r3c easy/cheap just change center hub; tr2cd pricier must change clutch discs). Pricing orc1000f similar to tr2cd, r3c about usd 200 pricier. Orc1000f triple plate 200mm. Tr2cd twin plate 215mm. R3c triple plate 215mm. Claimed max torque : orc 1000f 723 lbs ft; tr2cd 800 lbs ft; r3c 1100 lbs ft. Why orc1000f triple plate but claims lower max torque vs tr2cd twins? Is orc1000f underrated? Any info maxing out these clutches? Info on street/traffic driveability/pedal feel? Thank you for any info on them.
    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
