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..

You'd be lucky to fit 2 people in a 300zx... even the 2+2 is a 2 people plus 2 shopping bags car. They probably assumed it was a sedan coz of the 6 people in it. They MUST have had someone in the boot.

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

that's what i was getting at Al :( - maybe a bad choice of emoticon on my behalf :D

"there is no emoticon for what i'm feeling!"

yeh that was pretty bad how about the guys at carlton in the lil festiva they had 2be cut out i dont think there was any fatalities there tho..

i've been seeing a fair bit of girls being marias in sports cars/imports giving the rest of us sensible passionate owners of these cars a bad name like it wasnt enof guys doin it now even girls???

I'm kind of p!ssed off about that statement, but I know you're right.

I guess the girls who don't have a lot of exposure to import cars etc see them as a way to show how "cool" or sick they are if they get their hands on one. And of course they are going to show off. It never fails to amaze me how stupid some girls can be. I say they got what was coming to them. Yes its a tragedy, but I fail to have any sympathy for clear stupidity.

And there are some girls out there who are sensible passionate owners of imports not just guys.

RIP. Since when did Melbourne have 300zx in Sedan??? i've been in one of them, impossible to fit 6 people. Well unless of course the poor girls are really tiny.

Guess this really send out a warning to all of us, do not do anything reckless, it'll not only put yourself in danger, but it will also endanger the lives of others.

shit, apparently the girls went to my school (mt waverley secondary college)!

gawd damn, the 4 that came out are very lucky!

one of the girls that died im pretty sure went to my school (dandy high). somebody said she did, and just readin the names sounds kinda familiar.... sad to see this happen

fair enough, everyone on here have an adverse reaction to hearing about illeagle activity on the street (cause of things like this), but everyone does it, probly 95%+ of the people on here have done stupid things on the street, its a reality, but damn why do it with 6 people in the car, in a residential area (guessing its residential, they ploughed through a fence). 6 people in a 300, i reckon maybe 2 people had seatbelts on.... i get a feeling the car may have given the driver a bit too much confidence?

RIP

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

they dont... they come in 4 seater versions though

I really don't think power to weight had anything to do with this crash.

140km/h in a 70 zone...6 people in a 300zx....thats not an overpowered vehicle, its an underpowered brain

agreed

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

werd. f**k i hate them, everything about them is just meh. sure they go hard, but the interior + engine bay design is queer ++

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
