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.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
