hmmm does the skyline community no favours driving like that does they. :D

what ya reckon?

:lol: hahahahaha what a dead shit that road out the back of bundamba is on a bloody blind corner (if its bundamba bloody looks like it) should know better + the area has a lot of oldish people around so again U SHOULD OF KNOW BETTER!!!!!! who ever u are what a waste of a nice looking line

People do 3 point turns when it is safe to do so. Sometimes people do it in the wrong places, but if people are obeying the 50kmh speed limit, there is no problem for them to at the very least slow down if not stop. Try doing 50 in your skyline & see how much room you need to stop, it's not very much at all.

To me, that is nowhere near 50kph damage, the skyline was definately speeding & if there was always going to be contact if he was going 50 he would have been able to slow down a lot more than he "might" have. You can tell this just from the pic, the lines front bar looks like it was demolished & corolla's dont come with that much camber from the factory. :D

As someone has already said hopefully there wasn't any injuries & they both have insurance.

nah its a bogan stealing the cooler :D

wasnt on the coast, somewhere in boganville Brisbane

Nah, Boganville is actually in Papua New Ginuea.

On another note. There are no skid marks where the collision took place which means it probably took place on a bend where the driver in the Skyline could not see. Sure he may be a hoon, I'm sure we have all been guilty of that at some stage, but fact is, the guy in the Corolla was probably at fault. Broad daylight with plenty of visibility, no skid marks and only about 40-60km/hr damage. I'd say on this day he was not speeding.

He was not going fast at all

i have seen many a skyline front ended and the bonnet went no where

i hit some one at 10kms and did way more damage $11000

trust me he did not hit him really fast

and y do a 3 point turn in a suburb

pull into a drive way and reves out easy

what is this CSI:SAU?

fyi, a car with abs won't leave skidmarks

Ok look at it this way. Im in no way defending either party. But lets say, the person in the corolla didnt look, or did and the skyline was in the blind spot, and didnt indicate (as we all know how good qlders are at that!), and just turned. There might have only been 10m to react to the situation, and THEN brake after that. I dont care who the hell you are, you can not stop in that distance at 50 or even 40kmh. Your reaction time alone you will have already crashed (or be on the brakes about to crash as you just cant wash off that much speed) Yeah the skyline driver probably WAS hooning about. But it is unfair to blame him if no one was there to actually see exactly what happened.

And I still maintain I know people that will pull out of a car that is speeding even if they can see it simply because they shouldnt be speeding. They dont care if they cause an acco, because they feel they are in the right. Which is wrong, its not defencive driving, its attemped murder. Ditto I know people will speed up if someone pulls out in front of them, just to give them a scare.

Thats my say anyway. Dont have to agree but think about the first bit.

having been in a few crashes in my time I can tell you now that when it comes to the police and insurance companied laying blame speed won't be factored into it. It all comes down to who should of given way, and in this instance its the rolla that shouldn't of been doing the 3 point turn.

    • Yeah the issue here is that we have a lot of topics, unless we matched on the exact word & phrase we'd get a million topics and the one you want will not likely be in the top 20 or so.
    • Yeah great idea, I have already added R32 Wiring Diagram but we can add as many as we want. 100% ! This has been something I've wanted to do for a while. I thought we could have a way for people to 'suggest' a link be added to the library when they come across something good.  We could kick this along by allowing members (maybe a subset) to tag threads they find to allow us to more easily find/locate/use good content, ie a tag 'for-library' which can then be added to the library and maybe have the tags reviewed and updated to better match the content. This would make it easier then to find the content when not using the library. We can also create pages that have lists of content with specific tags. That would allow us to add a tag and then have it automatically added to a page. We could have a page just for the 'for-library' content that we could then moderate and put wherever.  This excites me, the lack of structure with the amount of content is a little overwhelming.
    • Of course you can. That was a waste. Straight down one oil drain gallery and out the sump hole. Could at least have run the engine a little (obviously with at least minimum oil level on the stick).
    • Oh really? Maybe I'm being silly. I'll get some more shots. I had it higher but found that it went too high after a drive, I never knew this but exhausts can move around a bit when hot (makes sense, just never knew) and when it was higher it would make nice cooking plastic smells. That said, I could put some heat tape on a'la 90's R33 exhausts     Ha, I've spent a lot of my life in castle hill waiting for cars to be done. I think I'd prefer something closer but thanks D. 
    • @Duncan Yes, changed filter every time. I don't have the service manual for the car yet (Car was imported and they removed everything when importing). I've been using the oil change threads in the forum as reference.   @Milkmun The second oil change was after ~4 months after the first months and I wasn't sure about reusing engine oil that was opened. The third oil change happened within 3 weeks of the second oil change and I used the previous leftover oil to just "clean up" the system. (Poured it through while the sump plug was open")
