Has anyone seen the front page of todays Manly Daily.

Someone in a ECR33 smashed into a ute in Belrose last night. It is estimated he was doing double the speed limit at the time.

It was a 17 year old P Plater.

Now I never really post on these forums, but I just had to jump on here and post this up.

Every time someone pull's a hero move like this it effects the whole community, it justifies the attention P platers get from the Police.

Please slow down guys.. Take it to the track.

I think it's just that area between ForestWay and Terry Hills; long straight roads, flat and rarely patrolled by police - kinda like WSID without the extra kms.

This has been the 3rd major accident I've heard of in that area in the last year. Last two involved another Skyline and a motorcycle...

Don't people learn?

Another farking tool who spoils it for the rest of us

Hope he gets locked up.

They only fined him.. Apparently they could not accurately judge the speed he was going.

I was driving through the back streets of French's Forest in my gtst a few weeks ago, and some guy in a R31 decided to cut sick behind me. His drifto display was credable, but it was so not the right place for it. He lost control of the car, and missed a set of parked car's by less than half a meter.

Steven, you can be sure there are still plenty of P-Platers driving turbocharged imports despite the new laws.

This no doubt means there are alot of uninsured idiots cruising the streets that you really want to keep your distance from.

Yeah since that guy killed the couple on the Great Western Hwy recently i've noticed a lot LESS hooning compared to normal. I got my R33 like a week after that incident and not ONCE has anyone tried to race me in the weeks since! Guess the majority of us are mature about our cars, but it takes a handful of knobs to destroy our rep instantly.

True. I've seen a few P's with V8 utes too.

Thats just stupid... Is that law even enforced?

Maybe its my plates, or the combinationt of stock rims and exhaust, I reall don't know, but no one EVER wants to drag me... One time i was asked, on some back rural street, flat road and straight as an arrow, I still said no... I probably would have had my ass handed to me anyway :)

How did you notice less people trying to race you if you didnt own the car before the incident? :)

You're right though, the majority of us are responsible. Its the usual deal that a few wankers make the name for the rest of us.

i was challenged one 4 seperate occasions on sunday whilst driving to street race, and its ridiculous how people think its ok to race on the street.

save it for the track, these guys come out to a track day and will get their asses handed to them.....so what u can drag off at the lights, its not a matter who is faster or better, its a matter of how far ur willing to break the law...if ur dumber then the next guy, then u win....

is it just me or does that picture of the wreck look wrong.....bonnet folded like a tin can, front panels looked stripped, side pannels poped off, but no real impact damage....

Obviously hit the back of the ute. Tray crumpled the bonnet and ripped off one guard. Front bar probably still attached to the ute.

im a red p plater and 18 and drive a 33 ( non turbo )...sure p platers cause heaps of accidents like above but also there is alot of people on a full license ( that also have accidents ) that pull up beside me..its common sense to let it go and some p platers lack it.. trust me im not defending him he just made me a bigger target now if possible.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
