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

    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now. 
    • You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought. 
    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
