Was driving my sister home from Freo last night coming down South Street past Coats Hire towards Stock road.

A cop car had blocked the far left lane and had a fully laided double B road train in front of it. Moving into the right hand lane to go around I saw why it had happened.

The Road train had mounted the kerb and gone across the verge into a side street taking out a brand new 911. The roof of the car was 5 feet in the air and the a pillar was where the gear stick should have been.

I don't see how the prosche driver could have survived. Really sad as he had no chance.

I've seen a lot of major prangs but this one was unbelievably bad.

I know a guy who's Dad brought him a 200SX. Flying down the road on a wet day and sliding sideways into a tree he killed himself and 2 others and the surviving one has his legs amputated from the knees down. That was really sad.

I saw 2 bad crashes on Armadale rd yesterday (thu) morning on the way to work.... one involved some little red car like an old barina or soemthing. was fully masshed and the roof was cut off...i assume the firebrigade did this to get the person out.

Didnt look like they could have survived it! but i havent heard anything on the news so hopefully they did. Makes you slow down but!

Seen a mates car this morning sideways in some bushes. Seems his g/f was driving, booted it around a round'about it kicked LSD and 180 degree spun up the kirb and plowed into the buhes on the opposite direction they were originally travelling. Mmmm, not good, they are ok and they were lucky how well the car came out of it. Still has some big dents though. Smashed front bumper too.

witnessed my mate put his dads jag xk8 ~$200k car into a lightpole... outside applecross maccas, was only at about 30km/h, spun it round in the wet (traction control off ;)) and poled it. got out a bit shaken, but thats all. oh and damage was $60k worth :( somebody sent these pics into fastfours mag and it was featured in there... no idea who, it wasn't any of my mates.

oooooooohhhhhhhhhh so its just a feature. It just came with the car, wasnt something i was choosing. Besides sensing these 2 features, can it be used in any other way. Well my active lsd light always turns on when I start driving, but slip turns on when I'm hooning. Do i have to be concern abut the active lsd light always on? thanks

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
