Just saw this on TV at work, missed most of it but saw what happen to be a Black R32 GTR or gtst with GTR kit, smashed. Plenty police lights and ambo's? Apparently a woman has died and her daughter is on life support.

Anyone know anything about it? Great for skyline rep again!

what the news reader did not say was: skyline, import, hi powered, p plater, godzilla, or that the car was speeding. Very unusal. I guess it is just bad luck.

Have a look at the bonnet. it has been mangalled. Poor ladie would have been torn to shreds. My heart goes out to her family and daughter.

They are gonna be bringing out some sort of speed limiter unit for cars to slow down young drivers it seems. 7 news will apparently have it on tonite as a special report....and I think last nights incident will probably be in it as well...

This occurred on Furlong Road infront of Sunshine Hospital, for those in the western suburbs - you will know the place.

I wouldn't be the one to place blame on the driver before any official report, as i know that road well - It isn't particularly safe for people trying to cross the road to the Hospital/Bus Stop inbetween pedestrian crossings which are spaced an easy 500m apart. A lot of people do this to save time.

- It is a 60 zone

- 2 lanes each direction

- Usually busy, but can be quiet on nights

I'm not placing blame on either party, but the damage to the R32 looks like a possibility of a high speed colision - so speed might be a factor?

This is a tragic accident - my condolences go out to the family of the deceased.

this is going to sound disrespectful but I dont see any pedestrian crossing in the above photo behind the car....

i used to jump the gates on the train, ride it for free. Then i got smacked with a $200 fine and these days, i just buy the tickets.

i feel for the families, but i just hope people dont jump to the conclusion that it was the drivers fault.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
