I was just driving home from the video shop and was driving down beeliar drive in beeliar WA and just ahead of me as i rounded the slight bend in the road was a car turned around missing most of its front end. There was anothe car that had stopped to lend a hand and I could not see another car until I looked up the road another hundred metres or so where the other car which was the one that hit the first car I saw was hard up against a large limestone retaining wall. I can only guess how fast this guy must have been going but he was another 150 metres up the road which at that point is on a reasonably steep incline so it must have been a fair speed.

From what I could gather from the female p plate driver of the first car she was trying to turn onto beeliar drive from the grange and this guy has come over the hill and round the curve where i had just come from and taken her out. She said when she checked there was no other car about and he just came out of nowhere. The guy in the other car was trapped pretty badly and was seriously injured I hope he pulls through ok.

I am pretty sure I have seen the other car around before and the last time I saw it the driver was moving pretty damn quick he must have been doing close to 100 in a 60 zone. The area where the accident occurred in a slight valley which is the point where the speed drops from 80 to 70 so I cant begin to imagine how fast the guy must have been going tonight.

All I can say to anyone on the roads is drive safe and watch your speed.

yeah i was pretty spun out i drive down that road same time every night so it was a bit of a shock

i think the girl will need counselling and the guy well I think that he will be in hospital for a while if he pulls thru good sign was that he was conscious even though he was trapped and bleeding badly.

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
