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

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
