Investigators aren't sure if the girls were wearing seatbelts, and witnesses are quoted as saying there was exessive speed.

Another P-plater tragedy, there are far too many of them.

As usual the driver only has minor injuries.

Well you can tell from the article that the car wasnt a performance car, as it wasnt listed there be the media

Probably a common family sedan or small car.

Goes to show the bullshit media in the country sensationalises things.

Sad waste of life, and a mockery to the road laws when any car can do 100km/h and unfortunately kill people.

This is very sad. I read it on the Herald Sun site yesterday before the second girl died. :thumbsup:

Another four families affected for the rest of their days by an idiot.

RIP to those involved.

The toll is 16 lower than this time last year but I doubt very much that has anything to do with publicity, probably more to do with the increase on the public transport network (think it said 30% in the last year, today).

yep...we gotta remember the media are no experts in family cars, but they know their japanese imports.....

RIP to the deceased

I agree this is tragic. I'm not concerned if the driver was a P-plater, or if there was excessive speed involved, or if the occupants of the car were or were not wearing seat belts.

The point of raising this particular incident is that the government relies heavily on cameras, even changing the name from "speed" to "road safety" to try and justify them.

But a "safety camera" would not have detected the non-wearing of seat belts. And a camera, while it might have taken a photo of the behaviour prior to the incident, would not have prevented the outcome.

The only thing that stood a chance of preventing this tragic outcome was a visible police presence "on the ground".

It's time the government and all the so-called "road safety experts" realised this.

Being in the local area (the crash happened at the other end of my road) I can tell you that the police resources in this area are painfully thin, with 20 officers covering an area spanning north past Yea, east past Marysville, south past Powelltown and into Mooroolbark. They have little to no chance of providing any meaningful police presence on the roads out here and the locals know that.

yea this is very sad.. i once new of a girl that died when she snuck out at night with this guy and he was showing off and crashed hes R33 into a pole.. she died and he lived..

really stupid if u think of it..

fair enough risk your own life by driving fast but when u risk others lives.. really stupid..

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
