Guys,

It has occured to me that of recent, a lot of people are starting to target certain individuals to flame and to abuse directly... me one of them... say what you will, I really don't mind... it really makes me laugh when some of you have so much time on your hands as to dig up all my posts and reply with abusive/hypercritical responses... if this tickles your fancy then go right ahead...

However, please note I had posted this thread with no other intention than to share a sad and tragic story with everyone in hope that we all learn a lesson from the death of a friend of mine.

I'm not in the mood to argue nor will I engage in such childish games. Think what you want... do what you will... and no, I am not suggesting that SKyline drivers are all dangerous holigans... not at all... this is a general note for all drivers...

... even if you drive a 1.8 litre Astra, Echo or Starlet... if you fly down the street at 200 km/hr you will be a leathal weapon on wheels... think about it...

I don't give a flying fark what people think about me... but many thanks for those that understand my intentions and have supported me... cheers mate, you're the people that I respect.

No offense intended to anyone ... many thanks.

Regards,

Kevin

Take it for what it is, A "tribute" to a deceased friend! We all have different ways to deal with grief. Its not about Him saying one thing but doing another. Geez the guy asked people not to reply with sarcastic or rude comments but people just have to open there mouths and show disrespect. Its sadly a story about a bloke that made a mistake and paid the ultimate price, And regardless whether His mate has learnt from it or not this story brings real life to our attention, Hopfully it will help us to think twice next time. PS, obviously there will be people scrutinising my post for any inconcistancies, Thats fine waste your time. The majority of people will understand what Im trying to say and thats all that matters. So try your hardest or try to look at this the way its meant to be, A TRIBUTE. :)

On contrary its you who have missed Tony's point completely.

Where's the glory? It's all tragic and sad. It's a lessen to all, no matter how young or old you are, no matter what car you drive. I suggest that everyone re-read the first post again and think very carefully about its contents, and its significance to them self.

RIP.

No more from me.

This isn't really relevant, but does anyone know what happened a fair while ago to a bayside blue r34 with blue work rims? I saw in an old issue of HPI and then a couple months latter I see it in autosalon ripped in half around a pole. Looks horrifying, I'll upload a pic if no one knows the one I'm talking about.

Post up pics and with info mate... I'll ask a few friends tomorrow and will get back to you if I get more information.

Cheers,

I don't know any info about it, I only saw the pics of when the car was assembled and then again when it was not so assembled.

That happened a few suburbs away from me... a few years back. Son took his father's car for a drive and was going at an extraordinary speed in a residential street when he lost control and killed himself + 2 friends. It was not a pretty scene from what I heard :P

i read this thread a couple of days ago and didnt know how to put words to keyboard, its a really sad thing that has happened and im sorry for the loss of your friend,

ill be thinking twice before doing this type of things on the streets again

if you dont have anything nice to say, do not say it!

everyone comes in here like' you stupid street racers'

we are not, thats why he posted up this thread.

Really...ol mate has already posted he has been racing on this very forum, so its a bit hard to deny now. The real tragedy besides his mate dying (and that is tragic) is that some of his friends still have not learnt the lesson - take it too the race track and keep it off the streets,its much more fun and a hell of a lot safer.

I like your story mate as it really does make you think about the consequences of street racing and how it can affect not only your self but also those that love you and other road users. I will keep this burned into my mind now and think twice before doing anything foolish like this.

I think that real life stories do help to get the msg across.

RIP for your Friend.

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
