Hey guys,

I used to live in Canberra and just spoke to one of my mates who's a copper.... Went to an accident yesterday or day before where a GTR driver hit a biker who'd come off... apparently pretty much took off his leg.... just hoping it's not one of you guys... sounded vaguely like the most recent car SINISTA has been driving... White with carbon bonnet. Apparently was totally legal, not his fault, but just hoping it wasn't any of you. Pretty distressing thing. :(

Heard / saw some of this.. happened in Fyshwick.

Didnt see any cars though

sinista is silver with carbon bonnet and as others said snooze is the only white skyline i know with a carbon fibre bonnet but it's a gts-t not a gtr... unless jayce got a carbon fibre bonnet and some how got his car back on the road but i doubt it

Nope:t'wasn't me,either. I didn't know it was a Skyline,and it's been a year since I worked in Fyshwick,so I'm not up to speed with who it may've been driving.

I do know the motorbike was a Harley,and he'd already been knocked off when the last car,who couln't react in time,ran over him and dragged him along under the car...Nasty business;sounds like he's had most of one leg amputated,amongst other injuries.

scary stuff :rant: i guess thats why when i did my course they reiterated about 1000 times don't trust any cars on the road and always expect them to do something stupid because if on the odd occasion they do your f$@ked

jesus, that's terrible..

my BIL and another good friend both own harleys.. luckily i've heard from them both so it wasn't them.

(both "yuppie" harley owners btw...i'm not friends with any big scary biker types lol)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
