there was some cock smoker hooning around the back street car park on lygon street last night too. in a silver r34 around 11pm. hand break turns, dropping the clutch sliding around in the wet.

if that car slammed into another car or tree or pole, i would not of stopped what i was doing to see if he was alright.

all honesty, people may get upset and want to have a flame war, dickheads who drive like that deserve what they get, because they will never learn, only the hard way

I only feel sympathy towards the people left behind and the passenger, not the driver. He was 20 for fks sake, not a child, so he would have known what he was doing was wrong. Now it's his family that have to deal with a loss and the passenger with a loss and injuries. It's pretty clear cut, it wasn't an unfortunate accident, it was someone racing another car.

Things like this make me angry.

You can drive anything on your L's but not aloud to drive turbo/V8/High powered 6 on your P's.

Stupid if you ask me.

True there Grant. I drove an ex cop car from Bendigo to Sydney on my L's, when I was bout 6 months pregnant (Before I got to 'fat' to drive) I was very inexperienced and it would have been way to difficult for my supervisor to control that car. As Birds said it's probably that attitude and being watched that stops them from doing stupid shit.

Learners are actually the safest drivers on the road, from what I hear. So the vehicle doesn't really come into it, it's because they have a teacher/parent in charge of their attitude while they are driving.

That I'd believe Birds. Once you get your license you start creating bad habits for yourself which no one is likely to pick you up on, you get complacent in traffic, and you don't always have that second opinion there when you're second guessing something, plus there is that 'well it's only me that'll get hurt' mentality that some people have.

It's not difficult to kick it out. I saw an accident recently (few months back) on the Calder, was pissing down raining at the time. Guy in a Suburu WRX, turbo, boost controller, roof had been reinforced a little cos it was a competition car. We dunno what happened but I heard the turbo kick in around the same time he hit a build up of water, aqua plained for a bit, he was fighting the car, couldn't correct it, rolled it. He was lucky only ended up with a damaged pelvis.

There was probably dew on the road, or a bit damp cos it's been raining a lot lately coupled with inexperience

I used to think so too, but it does make sense when you take into account L plater restrictions would make many parents have to buy a less powerful vehicle for their kid just to learn in - whilst a good thing that they learn their limitations in an underperforming vehicle, not every family can afford another set of rego/insurance/car, atleast until the kid is 18 and can buy it for himself/herself. And we really don't need anymore excuses for kids to get less experience on their L plates.

Yeah it was the case when my younger brother when he was on his L's (he started late) and he prefer my old R32 GTST over other brothers Commodore only because my Skyline was easy to drive without worrying about problems with car.

Learners are actually the safest drivers on the road, from what I hear. So the vehicle doesn't really come into it, it's because they have a teacher/parent in charge of their attitude while they are driving.

Interesting theory, I'd agree with you, but it's all depending on what attitude the 'instructor' pass it on to the learner driver.

Just heard that the learners permit this guy had didn't even belong to him, he had fraudulent documents and everything :/

Is it the case of stolen identity gone wrong or? The plot thickens...

Man some of you are harsh. Just because someone is driving like a dick doesn't mean they deserve to crash/die.

You all need to get a grasp of reality and recognise families loses like some of the others have mentioned.

Every time I go to the mx track at least one person gets taken away by an ambo. Does that mean they deserve it because there not morbid like 90% of the population and want to live their life a little? I don't think so. They know the risks.

I'd say by all of the people I have met from SAU that 99% of the people on here wouldn't be comfortable putting themselve in a situation where they are perposely going to endanger themselves out pushing themselve to their limit and a little bit further to where if it was to go wrong it going to hurt a lot. I'm not talking about getting into fights but more about say downhill mtb, riding motocross, tracking a car to its limit not your own or any adventure sport really.

I am expecting this to get the usual that would be stupid it your going to hurt yourselve but in reality it probably the best feeling your ever going to get in life. Expecially the adrenalin rush if you crash and don't hurt yourself to badly.

Yes being silly on the streets isn't a good idea expecially if others are around but most of us have done something silly that has come back to bite us before.

BTW - Even if the silver 34 mentioned above had hit a pole or a car I still would have gone to see if they were ok. It human nature. Even if the are the lower gene pool. If they had hit another car photos would have been taken and the cops called. It pretty simple.

maybe we have different tolerance for morons.

im just fed up with all these kids dying from stupid shit cause they thinks its cool, they all know the risks, yet they like to push the limits on the roads. for what ? to see the mate egg them on and smile when they do it ?

sympathy for the families for sure, for the idiot behind the wheel ? nada.

if there was any car I'd wanna be in a side impact in, it'd be a soarer. those doors weigh a tonne and are strong as shit. they gotta have hit that pole at crazy speeds to bend it in like that

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      By Butters · Posted

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      By Degzy · Posted

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
