A woman and her 12 yo daughter were struck and killed by a Skyline (probably GT-R) overnight in Melbourne. There was a considerable amount of damage to the Skyline, so I suspect the driver was hoofing it.

I truly hope it was not one of ours.

I was readin the paper at work yesterday and they had a 200sx rapped around a pole. Think the driver was instantly killed and passenger seriouisly hurt. I cant remember exact details as i just skimmed the article.

hmm knowing all this, it still wouldnt stop drivers speeding. i guess speeding sometimes isnt the issue. More like taking the risks of putting your foot down at wrong times. Ie around corners or bumpy roads, or if your intenions are actually trying to be stupid..

sigh.. be careful everyone..

I saw this 1,

it was a maroon 200sx S14. Wrapped around a pole, on Hume hwy, Opposite to Liverpool RTA at about 5am in the morning Sunday. Cos i was driving my dad to the air port.

cant recognise the car, until u see the ass 200sx!!! must be doing really fast.

Is it for certain that he/she was speeding? I suppose at 8pm, the roads are not that busy, so I guess pedestrians will be easy to spot if they were crossing the roads and no mother would risk crossing the road with her 12 year old child.

I am curious to knwo what happened, cos something similar happened to me as I mentioned in the following thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...opic=122524&hl=

The report was simply that they were pedestrians. There was nothing in the report to suggest that the driver was in any way "at fault" - but as I said, the degree of damage indicates (to me, at least) that the car was travelling at some speed. The windscreen was almost caved in, and the leading edge of the bonnet had been pushed back and up.

I don't believe there is any hard evidence to indicate any act of idiocy or otherwise on the part of either party involved. It may be possible to inflict that level of damage to a R32 travelling at the speed limit. So let's not start slamming the driver for what happened.

And actually, it was only the mother who died (my bad).

whilst i do feel sympathy for them its no different to:

dad and son walk across street crossing

1984 holden camira hits them both

both deceased.

just because its a skyline hardly changes anything IMHO

...fact that it's a skyline doesn't change anything, other than the perception of everybody else that it must have been the car's fault, not the driver :whistling: Most sensible minded people know that it's the case, but the increasing majority of the 'blamers' in this society it's another story. In the back of their mind they associate "that type of car", with "that sort of person".

You're right but being a Skyline forum we are gonna talk about it :whistling: Differnce is you are far less likley to fang an sh|t box camira than a skyline. You can't say that's not the truth.

Sick of hearing story's like this, far to many FU(KWITS in cars on the road. I hope they rot in jail. So often I see young wa#kers in fast cars eager to show how big their wang is, not even considering what might happen. Sad really. When will people learn.

What i dont understand is y people jump out infront of cars, is it really worth saving a few seconds and trying to cross the road while there is a car coming directly at u

Thats right as its a hell of a lot easier to stop walking than it is a 1600kg car at the speedlimit.

All I can say is lucky it was outside of a hospital, the girl might not still be fighting otherwise. (assuming it was their time and it was going to happen anyway...)

and to everyone please do a defencive driving course if you havent done one. They do teach you what to do in these situations to try and avoid them, or at least reduce injury. They work.

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
