my gf calls me up and goes one of her friends just died in a car crash and it was on the news.....so i go and turn on the tv faarrr out......2 dead 2 critical and another 2 injured not so bad.

the car was a mess it looked worse then the farrari couple weeks back. i think it was a 300zx.

the news report labled the car as a nissan coupe........nice to know they aint pointing it out as a import...or such other things/.....ill try get more info and some pics.....

heres the story.............

Police believe the car in the fatal smash in North Caulfield was travelling at 140 kmh, twice the speed limit for the section of road.

Assistant Commissioner (Traffic) Noel Ashby told theage.com.au speed was the main factor in the accident which has left two young women dead and four others in hospital.

The women, both of Noble Park, died after the 1989 Nissan 300 ZX sedan carrying six women slammed into a brick fence shortly after 3.30am at the corner of Dandenong and Wattletree roads, police said.

Four other women in the car, all in their early 20s, suffered injuries ranging from minor to critical.

turns out the car was going 140 in a 70 zone.....man some guys realli need to slow down :P

Dude your right. I admit ive done some stupid shit, heck Ive done 140 Km/h too but... ON A FREEWAY WITH NO CARS late at night! Id never do that kind of dumb shit in a 70 KM zone... more so with 6 people in the car! If I ever do stupid shit then Im alone in the car! I never dare to do that with passengers!

i wouldnt be saying that to your girlfriend anytime soon :)

Oh cr#p... I remember seeing a Darkish grey 300ZX with I think Silver oldish style Enkei's going Caulfield way when I passed the Warrigal/Princess fwy intersection. This was about 3:30am after coming back from the city...

f**k that's scary. In this position, do you think would it be an idea to contact the Police?

when did 300zx's come with 4 doors? :)

They don't they came in 2+2 and the rear seats are REALLY squashy.

Sorry Dezz, strongly disagree buddy :D

Do you think they would be as tempted to do such speeds in a shit-box, i don't. There are alot of sensible P-platers out there (and in this club), but even these people get tempted or pushed into doing stupid thing, because the car has the ability.

I wasn't saying what I said because i'm a p-plater in an overpowered car....

I'm saying she had 6 people in a car that we all know is not capable of carrying 6...you'd be lucky to get 5 in a 300zx comfortably..

and there's no mention of it being twin turbo, so for all we know it was an underpowered and overweight N/A

you'd be hard pressed to get 3 people in 300zx comfortably, have you ever seen the space for the back seats? :)

Jeez - RIP

What were they thinking when they were doing that. It could have been worse, like the one on police rd in springvale. A pedestrian or another road user may have died. Such a waste of life.....

and finally the journalists dont know jack shit about imports, hence they said its a sedan

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
