hooray!! 18 yr old in R32 GTR caught doing 200km/hr on wellington rd..

excuse? "i was tired, and didn't realise what speed i was doing"

hmm... original :P:):domokun:

I'm amazed that he hasn't hit anyone in that speed while just only last week TWO under-cover police officers were driving UNDER the speed limit YET they have managed to hit an old lady.

:blush: how did they catch him, i mean those SS's are fairly quick but assuming he was going at least 120km/h faster than them when they saw him i don't think he'd have struggled to get away.. That would also = an estimated speed if they were driving, and i know that if the car was stationary when they saw the gtr they wouldn't have seen him again.. so maybe 200 is an exaggeration?

long stretch of road or not, he had to have hit a traffic lights at some point. its mentioned that he was 'weaving in and out of traffic'. either way like you said he would have been past the cops w/o seeing them. but all they need to see would be his plates. or they could have caught up at the next lights and he wouldnt have known he was in shit till the lights started flashing.

also does it really matter if it was 200 or 160?

i think you right there man they tend to blow up the storie if its a jap car but at the end of the day all of us have done stupid shit and no one can act like they havnt done high speeds before he was just unlucky maybe he can learn from this the only thing that pissed me off was it had to be a line.. ah well

I really dont agree with taking any skyline up to its limit, whats the point really??

if you really want to get the rush, jump off a plane or something, take it on the track

I remember not too long ago when i was doing just a little over 100k and came to a complete stop into a fence and a pile of rocks in just under 5 secs, the impact that had, i came out with sore shoulders, sore neck and brused all over

would not want to think of an impact at twice that speed, OUCH

Hopeless! He didnt even blow over 0.5 and his girlfriends werent wrapped around his pole. 18yr olds these days... dont do anything properly anymore :P

hahaha, kids these days

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
