Man trapped under car in crash

tradesman has been seriously injured after he was pinned under a car driven by an alleged hoon, which spun out of control on a suburban street in Melbourne's north west.

The victim, in his forties, was building a fence at the Rokewood Crescent home, in Meadow Heights, when a p-plate driver lost control.

The Nissan Skyline mounted the footpath and slammed into the man, pinning him between the car and a truck parked on the driveway.

Emergency crews spent 45 minutes working to free the man in a delicate rescue operation.

Witnesses have told 7News the driver was performing burnouts and speeding along the road before losing control of the car.

Sergeant Dean Pickering said the 19-year-old p-plater was breaking the law simply by getting behind the wheel.

"It's a high-powered car. It's a car that's banned for probationary drivers. It's a fast car and there's no doubt in the world, it's not appropriate for somebody that's still learning to drive," he said.

Sgt Pickering said police had received complaints about a car being driven erratically in the area before the crash.

"At about that time, we've had reports of a Nissan Skyline being driven fairly erratically through the area.

"You can see what's happened...the car has mounted the footpath, has ended up through the front of this house, has hit the fence where this fellow was working. Unfortunately, he's been embedded under the car."

The victim was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital in a serious condition suffering from pelvic and spinal injuries.

Sgt Pickering slammed the stupidity of the driver, saying this type of behaviour is 'frustrating' and puts lives at risk.

"This is the sort of stuff that's really frustrating for us. It's not an accident, it's someone's behaviour that has caused something like this to happen," he said.

The 19-year-old driver, who escaped unharmed, is in police custody.

That's true Odium, just thought it was good to see the driver being portrayed as the one at fault, rather than the car... "It's a fast car and there's no doubt in the world, it's not appropriate for somebody that's still learning to drive.."

How much you want to bet it was some lebo as well. WTF is wrong with that side of town, seriously all full of f**kwits. So glad I don't own a skyline anymore :domokun:

I hardly see lebo's/wogs etc in these cars anymore, they all moved on to BMW 3 series with the hectic leather for the ladies, or VZ SV6 lol.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
