2 or 3 cars were said to be involved in street racing and wrx spun and the bus must have bumped it while trrying to avoid it and ended up going into the building......

Wow, lets guess some more shall we! Stop reporting off media stories.

Anyway,

Lets hope they weren't street racing, the owner of that WRX states it wasn't his fault and posts a description up of what happened on REXNET (where he's a regular member that attends cruises etc).

Who knows what the truth is really.

Any chance of a copy/paste? I'm not signing up to their forum just to read about how some idiot in a crap car with stupid plates lost control and caused a bus to crash into a building.

he is not saying anything interesting because he does not want to risk having problems with his insurance claim.

from what he has said so far you can tell he believes(or will say) that it was not his fault

Just says that the bus driver apparently cut him off. maybe pulled out on him not really anythin in concrete but he says also that due to ownin a rexy might end up being blown out of all proportion an that.

Although buses technically have right of way when pulling out they are supposed to do so safely. I have been in a situation a few times where I was already past the end of the bus or just about to be and have had to drive on the wrong side of the road to avoid an accident. I guess its possible that happened and the bus clipped him.

as a driver, seriersly i really hate bus drivers on the road....they dont give a shit while trying to cut lanes, they expect every car has to slow down n give way to them....once i saw a car parked at a bus zone at around 11pm ......a bus came over, dropped a passenger behind that car, and there was a lot of space between the car n the bus, the bus just crashed into the back bumper of that car n took off!! So good on u WRX!!!

I know!

Its so f**king stupid of them to expect people like you to obey the road rules, and give way to buses like you're meant to.

And if you park in a bus zone and compromise such a long and unwieldy vehicle's ability to make manouvres by reducing the supplied space....you deserve what you get. It might look like a lot of space to you, but a bus doesn't turn like a car does.

Speeding is one thing, 'street racing' is another, so which was it?

That accident is nothing compared to the EVO 6 that hit a pole in Tempe and split in half.

Ye i was coming from the city and had to turn towards Sydenham.. the whole are was sealed off..

you're missing the point entirely... granted some bus drivers belong in the zoo, but Street Racing is illegal

Sreet racing a few years ago was fun as it was a race to see who can get to 60 the fastest but these days cars are faster more inexperienced drivers are out there too .

My thought on the whole manner is we dont know all the facts may be it was wrong place wrong time total accident no blam on the car owner .

or it could of been a street race gone wrong ?

or even a inexperienced driver trying to impress his mates in his urabus or what ever the car was .

All i can say is idiot if he was racing and i dont ever want some one to die but he diserves what ever he gets accident well surry bad luck impressing mates ? then grow a brain and put it on the track .

I would like to see the government put more into driver education at schools and events to teach and have fun on a race track and not target every import on the street because i garantee if you had 20 cars lined up 10 where commodore and ford owners and the rest imports the police would move the others away to start to give us a bad time

So the moral to this dribble is to stop being dicks on the road stick it on the track so then you can show off do what ever speed you want and its a hell of a llot cheaper then a speeding ticket or wors killing someone

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving.

      What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
