ill keep this as basic as i can so not too much info is leaked out but ive heard different stories from different people and thought i needed to set things straight.

the first car went past and hit 'it'. i was the 2nd car and i saw it pretty clearly and steered clear and pulled over to help out the people in the first car. everyone knows what happened to the 3rd car.

everyone is fine.

cheers guys, and thanks to everyone that helped.

p.s. we went to check it out today and people had been there before and stripped a few parts off it. the deck and equalizer, e-way tag, steering wheel and battery.

A bad night for all involved.

Let me say this once, anyone talking specifics will have their posts deleted. Skylines have a bad enough image in the general publics eye, and eventhough the best efforts were made to avoid what happened, it did happen, and after shows like TodayTonight etc running almost weekly "hoon" stories this can easily be misunderstood and cast a bad shadow on us as a community. The only thing to come out of this whole event is that it doesnt matter how safe you think you are, you are not safe and anything can happen out there. Be careful. We dont want anymore "hoon" stories on the TV targeting imports.

No one was charged with ANYTHING on the night by police as the police agreed none of the drivers were at fault and we were lucky no one was hurt any worse than they were (all parties are now fine).

The only image this will bring is bad, which of course is some publicity we all dont need (notice all comments that are too direct have been deleted from the public areas).

Cheers

-Steve :nuke:

Edit: Imports dont need any more crap from the police/uneducated public than we already have so please keep in mind what ive said above.

Good thing that everyone was sticking to the speed limit.

i hardly think that censoring the issue is a good idea for future reference?

it there any particlar reason

no one did anything wrong as stated..

Easy - because the public wont believe what happened, and will think "bloody hoons" etc

We arent censoring the whole issue, hence this thread. The group made a decision and we are sticking by it - no details on a public forum. Surely you can understand that?

yeah i thought the same thing. To me censoring makes it look really suss...but thats just me, if you censor it you get like joe said, people spread stories that may not be true instead of knowing the facts.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
