Seen this on a few other forums, sad to see.

Where is the Rev needle? I cant see it under 3000rpm.

I know that some tacho's are desgined to stay on the spot at impact, hense 100km/h. Also i cant see any skid marks so i guess he was definatly boosting(not sure if it has ABS).

Why didnt the factory airbag go off?

check out the 4th picture, there is a emergeny personal actually grinning. disgracful. hope the driver is still around 2day.

Dont jump to conclusions..the people you see grinning in the background may be grinning to a completely unrelated event...

Im probably going to get flamed for this but part of me didnt feel sorry for the guy...i mean if the speedo is stuck on 100 wouldnt it mean that he was going faster then that due to the fact that he woulda hit the brakes before he hit...now i dont know what the speed limit was along the road but there arent alot of roads that have speed limits in exess of 100km/hr...im not saying that I follow the speed limits all the time but theyre there for a reason and if youre going to drive in exess of the speed limits make sure you can control your car and youre not going to kill anybody ... however...if the speed limit was in fact 100-110km/hr along the road...i take it alllll back.

Dont jump to conclusions..

...i mean if the speedo is stuck on 100 wouldnt it mean that he was going faster then that due to the fact that he woulda hit the brakes before he hit...

Do you see any skid marks?

....and the people asking about the airbag, it wouldn't have deployed because the front of the car went straight under the truck.

    • Thanks for the quick response mate, and I agree Nismo 555s, Z32 and high flow 2871 in OP6 housing (run by PowerFC) would all be "period correct" and should be a simple, reliable and reasonably quick track car.
    • It is normal for a speedo to read 0-10% high (unfortunately), intended by manufacturers and ADRs (although not in this case) to ensure your speedo does not read low if your tyres are worn. Speaking of which, what size tyres do you have on the rear, and what does they tyre placard say you should have? you can use this https://tiresize.com/calculator/ to determine what % difference that is causing Personally, when I buy tyres for a car I buy a size that will bring the speedo back to being more accurate; it if it reads 5% high I buy tyres that are 5% larger diameter. If you had an electronic speed sender like R33 onwards, the other option is to add a speedo adjuster but that won't work in R32. Finally, you  might be able to find a different sized gear for the speedo sender but that will be limited to what already exists (and I don't know what sizes do)
    • OK...so dumb question to check....do the hi beams actually come on when the push the stalk to engage them (keeping in mind your headlight switch must be at ON as well)
    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear 
    • so I need a new speedo cable
