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.

    • The previous switchover point was 501mv. The stock value is like ~360. They now were idling at about ~880. The thing is, most people get a false lean condition. I am getting false rich conditions. This isn't a quirk of terminology, most cam upgraders get awful fuel economy because the O2's read false lean and add fuel - Mine are attempting to aggressively subtract fuel.
    • So... the whole idea was to upgrade the power of the motor from stock. The motor I bought with the gearbox had 'some' stuff done to it in the past, but it wasn't as well thought out/what I had wanted to do. The stock heads typically are a big restriction on LS's and need porting to unlock quite a lot of power. You can then go a bit silly with aftermarket castings to get more, aftermarket intake manifolds for a little more, and then porting those for more. <- We are here. Nobody in Australia really goes down this path (for some reason). It might* make 3kw or something more than doing things the tried and true path for 10X the cost. So that's probably why - I wouldn't even recommend it to people, the money was and is likely better spent on just CNC'ing the stock heads and putting a 6.3L stroker kit in. I didn't want to go down the 'normal' path and then think: But if I'd just done a bit more - I could have had a slightly better result. I assumed the heads were running out of flow and it always annoyed me - Turns out the previous installer advanced the cam 6 degrees so this is likely why it was coming on earlier and running out of puff earlier than advertised. The body panels were just lack of planning/no information on this anywhere on the internet and the fact they came out different was annoying. From test fitting the guard it appears I could have gotten away with GTR guards only, but I got the bonnet and raisers and everything else as well for a pretty decent package deal.
    • So you had a car that by all accounts drove well and survived track days, and that was looking great after months of being stuck at a paint shop. Some might call that a finished project. But you decided this is not quite right. So now the car does not run anymore. And the engine doesn't fit anymore. And the body parts don't match anymore. But, this is progress somehow. Greg, I think your subconscious does not like you and does not want you to drive this car. (I know I know, this whole escalation was not intended, but man, what a rollercoaster)
    • Yeah, but the narrowband is truly narrowband. So you take it out of the linear zone and it is effectively nonsense. And that linear zone is so literally narrow, that nonsense is not very far away. Unless they are flicking back and forth across the stoich point, for real, under actual control, they can't be trusted for anything except entertainment value.
