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.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
