I hate to say it, but this sort of result is exactly what you can expect from filling a car up with people, showing off to them after a night out and speeding like mad. Even if she wasn't pissed, whe'd probably be tired. Add in ridiculous speed and RWD, and it's no big surprise what happened.

If it was a bunch of blokes in the car there would be no sympathy for them whatsoever in the media.

Having said all that, I'm sure most people here have done something that was stupid in hindsight. Although I'd hope it wasn't quite as stupid as this.

To all the people who are having issues with the vehicle being called a sedan....

It's being called a sedan because it is. (Well... it was)

The term "sedan" relates to any enclosed vehicle with 2 or 4 doors.

ooo dandenong rd

awesome

indeed, and im not surprised.

amount of racing i hear each night it amazing.

Power to weight has absolutely nothing to do with this. How could it?

Its the drivers stupidity. Any car is dangerous @ 140km/h. Doesnt matter if its a 60kw barina or a 500kw GTR.

The 300 doesnt look to be turbo anyways.

6 people + 140 on dandy rd near caufield... which if i recall is not the best road section either = stupid

man... looks like i should have really used a 'sarcastic' smilie... ppl think i was being serious! :happy:

i always thought that a coupe was an eclosed car with 2 doors. Sedan, 4 doors. I don't know of any 2 door sedans? although some of these new designs (mercedes) claim they have 4 door coupes... but in the traditional sense i thought a sedan was 4 doors.

i was being sarcastic ppl's! :( I know there weren't any 4 door 300zx's.. it was in response to the article description of the car.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
