it is bad that these accidents keep popping up. but yes i do see it as the media making money as it sells news.

this time there was another car that actually caused the accident.

yes it appears that the driver was driving at high speed. as i saw the car and it was a ****ing mess.

we'll all have to wait and see what happens about this all. what they plan to do about it all.

but with all the media hype it cant be good.

man i just saw some relative of the people that got killed in the green skyline crash going on about how their should be power restrictions brought in automatically and he was going on about all this other stuff aswell related to p platers seriously the people in the green skyline were street racing now they have recked it even more for people who do the right thing....i know its very sad to see this hapen where two people die but they were doing the worng thing why reck it for the people who do the right things?

If SAU ever makes a "Kills stories" section, I'm never coming back. I reckon SAU is the best forum because the mods actively get rid of such stupidity, and for a very good reason too.

Perhaps they should make it mandatory for P platers with high powered cars to join certain car clubs. Not your "low-riders", "doof-doof", "I'm a fag" car club. But a proper CAMS affiliated club like SAU. CAMS affiliated clubs generally have mature members who could mentor younger drivers.

:werd: Not the exact words I'd use but totally agree....

I left Sydney just on a month ago now, and in that time we have lost 5 or 6 Lives in this short amount of time. I belive that everyone is entitled to an opinion, however we must all remember that no matter how angry, mad, crazy you feel, there are two families or more from this forum that will have very lonely and silent Christmas's. I hold the above statement to heart and do recommend that youngster's should join a club, get out there and have a go, learn from people with more experiance...... "KNOWLEDGE IS STRENGTH". The sooner "We" get behind a program to help out the (newer) car owners out there, the sooner we as a group can move forward. Please feel free to flame me, It is just an opinion........ I know that I am no longer in Sydney, However if I can help in some way I will be more than happy to. To anyone on the forum's with contacts or good friends that can help with establishing some sort of schooling / mentoring at the meets / Track days etc etc.... Please send ideas in to Prank or any of the other guys the run this great site.... Lets do more than just hit the keyboard!

My two cents.

R.I.P to the families of the victims,

Seasons greetings and compliments of the seasons to everyone else.

Mike

"It only takes one person to get the ball rolling, lets make it happen guys!!!"

Interesting Thread.

I must agree with the notion that young people do stupid things, regardless of how stupid they know it is.

I am still a young person, and have had an accident (written off car) with 4 other people in my car before (luckily no one was injured), and it took that to bring me to my senses a bit more.

I would congratultate anyone who can solve this problem, but would stop short of criticising those who are genuinely trying to help.

Street racing is one of the dumbest things you can do, but, hypocritically, I've done it and will probably do it again.

In conclusion, you cant change human nature and the misjudgements we all make. We must just try our hardest to prepare ourselves for it and minimise it as much as we can.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
