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.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
