hey guys just got back home, driving on the eastern freeway from the springvale rd entrance going towards the city there was a crash. near the bends where the entrance starts, from what i could see it was a R33 skyline, hope its not anyone here and dat there were no serious injuries.

must've lost it in the wet or something.

I'm now commuting on the Eastern Freeway daily, and I've seen a new smashed car (nothing too serious) EVERY day since mid last week!!! That's about 7 smashed cars.

There was also what looked to be an offset head-on at the intersection of Springvale Rd and Burwood Hwy in peak hour yesterday. The front end of a red VT was caved in and the ambos were attending.... don't think it was so bad though, but the scene was quite crowded with emegency vehicles.

Prolly that left turn from springvale into burwood hwy going towards knox... people don't watch...kain through and either get collected by thru traffic or those turning right.

Even I'll admit I've almost done it a few times while not looking properly, but not for a few years.

Speaking of that intersection, I saw a cool little drag there on sunday night coming back home.. One guy in an old Valiant ute, one guy in a newish S or SS Ute, and one VP common-dore (5L or so). All deliberately got into separate lanes and started revving. The crappy val ute did pretty well, and kept nearly up with the SS(?) for most of the way...VN got its ass kicked not surprisingly.

Pity I'm only 2 weeks away from my skyline and could'a kicked em all :(

no u wouldnt cause being a responsible skyline driver u wouldnt partake in such activity... :(

save it for the strip or u'll end up like the guy whos car this thread was created about

speaking on the topic of merging lanes, has anyone tried going onto the eastern freeway from the bulleen rd entrance going towards springvale rd?? theres these gay sets of traffic lights there, and they turn green for like 1 sec!!!! then go red again, i reckon they're ridiculous. its 2 lanes and merges into 1 and then onto the freeway, u gotta hammer it down to get to 100 so that u can merge safely.

so dumb.

If you go from Downtown towards Springvale Rd exit on peak hours, then you would know that the GAY LIGHTS make a whole lot of difference. It eases the traffic and reduces the jam by a mile!

And I don't think you have to rev really hard to get into 100 zone, 'coz in peak hours you're not gonna reach that speed anyway... Besides, I hardly find myself having to rev that hard to merge safely...

Lol if you've ever noticed those lights let 2 cars in at a time, so you're always goin into the freeway in pairs... and the lights... well me n most of my mates line up at the lights to test our reaction times and to see who can get the the merging point faster, then the person who's behind lets the other in front and we both merge happily (we don't play chicken)...

its the maddest set of lights ever... hours (actually 1 minute) of fun...

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
