hi guys

well after driving my missus home at 1am last night and cruising back towards the city, there were 4 series 1-2 skylines on the 3 lanes. that was almost like a mini skyline cruise :) . but as we were approaching caufield railway underpass, we saw an accident (city outbound) where there was about 5-6cars stopped (dont know how many was involved) but one of them was a white skyline in the middle median 180degree turned around.

that was such a pitiful sight too see especially when a skyline is involved (and others alike).

well what i would like to say is that i use that road almost every night and have seen some major fatal accidents there. you simply cannot see anything until deep into the apex by when its too late to hit the brakes and thats not inlcuding other drivers and the concrete barrier and light poles.

not to say im a wuss or anything but please, if you do want you 30secs of rush and go dragging, avoid that section as it is very dangerous and if the barriers/poles dont catch you, the coppers will since they are there very often.

lastly, does the other liners go on here? you know who u are, there was 3 of us side by side on an empty stretch of road.

I saw it too, white R33 [looked like a SII] and the other car was a Red Civic up on the median strip next to it - it didnt surprise me, but I was *annoyed* for the rest of us that dont act like that. I didnt see much damage, lucky for them, but its only a matter of time if you ask me. High powered rear wheel drive cars + wet roads + inexperienced drivers or hoons don't mix!

2 other cars were pulled up in the left lane with hazards on - but still should not have been there - its basically a 24 hour clearway unofficially [no parking / standing]. One was an AE86 corolla and dont recall the other car but I guess they were cruising together...

A timely reminder to watch your speed in the wet!

To be fair, it is possible that they weren't going all that fast but I didnt see it happen so...?

is that the S bend? cos a few weeks ago a evo 5 hit the wall doing 100km, marks and paint is still on the wall coming back from the asian umm pool joint. that was a shame to see..

Yes, the S bend.

I don't get what is so hard about THAT S bend - I actually enjoy driving through it, always have, always will [careful when wet of course]. I don't actually understand why so many people have accidents there - I am guessing it is mainly "inexperienced driver" based. Good thing the cops are there then - usually a booze bus but often TOG cars too.

How can an Evo 5 stack if i can go around there at a *legal*cough* 70km/h ?

And i have a boat, and it has much more advanced handling than i?

That corner is great, but i agree you gotta know it... to some extent though. Why would you approach a corner fast if you didnt know it?

Stupidy comes to mind here heheh!

I aint had the car slide, had a fair bit of a squeal though at times, all within the limits of course.

    • As somebody who works in the energy sector and lives in a subzero climate, i'm convinced EV's will never be the bulk of our transport.  EV battery and vehicle companies over here have been going bankrupt on a weekly basis the last year. 
    • With all the rust on those R32s, how can it even support all the extra weight requirements. Probably end up handling as well as a 1990s Ford Falcon Taxi.
    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
