I don't know what sort of a shitbox it is for the wheel stud to snap and the wheel to come off by going into a pot hole. Snap all 5 wheel studs from a pothole at less than 60 (the speed limit of that street)? I don't think so. I've hit massive potholes in my car at speeds well over 100 (on private roads) and my wheel has never come off.

I saw him do several burnouts on george street during the course of the night. enough said...

RX4's are 4 stud, not 5 :wave:

Makes perfect sense that they'd snap. Burnouts, and possible use at WSID with hard launches with rims, wheels studs and spacers put's it in the realm of possibility quiet easily.

Still, sounds like he was driving pretty dangerously if he was smoking them up George St. Hopefully no one was seriously injuried.

I just found out off the police that the girl who was hit by the taxi is ok just had some bruising , bumps , and concusion. I am going this week to make my statement. As for MRRX4 he is screwed.

yeah he's gonna get a royal ass thumping for being such a tool.

I would have thought there'd be a crash sooner or later... So many people slowing down to get some room to spool up and go pshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, sick bro! :no: With all the cabbies around in there It's like russian roulette all the time though.

Actually I am not the only witness to the accident there is about 20 of us that seen it happen. His car did rev up loud only for the fact that he was changing gears at the time the wheel come off so obviously everyone knows the sound of a rotor and would know how loud it would be.

Most of the people were drunk that seen it but still managed to explain the story the same as me and my friends.

I feel sorry for him for the fact he wasn't being a tool at the time.

Its funny how people are so quick to judge, if you didn't witness it you have no need to comment on the people who did see it.

    • 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.
