Was driving to the panel beaters when I saw an R32 ploughed into a pole on Mcintyre Rd. The car was black/grey and had P plates. It was quite a serious accident. Came back from the panel shop to see police cars, ambulances, and fire brigades. Saw a stretcher setup, but wasn't sure if there was anyone on it. My mom said she drove past and saw the car seat from the car, about 10m away; not sure how that happened though.

Does anyone know if the occupants of the car made it out alive?

black box recording of todays events.......

"hey mayte watch dis!!!!!"

zuuuuu zuuu zuu tu tu tu screeeeeeeeechhhh CRASH!!!!

that is all

maybe they were driving safely, until some kent with an emo white r32 4 door came dosing out of nowhere on 2 wheels and pushed them into the pole...... :P

but in all seriousness - there are always more idiots on the roads when its wet - just yesterday some kent did a u-turn in front of me, and decided to slip the rear out across all 3 lanes on ferntree gully rd.......rain and bad weather brings out the dickheads

end of the day, most of us do it, and we all no wat can happen if we dont no our limits in our cars...

just be carefull guys cause that extra slide could mean ur life an worse a mates life in the passenger..

first of all before we go futher , the car was a R 32 , gtst , its dark blue, it hit a pole due to some one in front of him deciced to slam the brakes on and gave the driver of the blue skyline no option to move futher left , one problem there was a car slower than him already there , givin that the driver was going a little faster than all other poeple in front of him no choise than move again left resulting in striking the pole in the worst possible part of the car , hitting the drivers side wheel and the wheel went back right in the drivers foot area , trapping the driver for 2-3 hours untill cut out by fire mans , the car was totalled in this crash , the driver was taken to hospital with serious injiures, the driver could of slammed in the back of the car in front possible pussing them in front of a big truck comming the other way , i know this guy avoided massive crash with collideding with other cars and took full forse in the pole of his own car , i know this , i was right there 20 ft away , and i praise the driver for his actions for more injuires to others drivers , this guy is known to most of us , and i hope he has a speedy recovery in hospital , by the way the seat was still in the car , the fireman cut the drivers door off and placed in in front of the crash scene ,

enough jokes about this crash the guy is in SERIOUS condition in hosipital , in respect for family and freinds close to the driver !

He must have been doing a fair speed to cause so much damage, did his brakes fail???

why wasnt he travelling at the same speed as the traffic infront of him.??? Probably would have meant he could stop in plenty of time..I hope the guys alright.. but maybe it'll teach him some common sense travelling too close or travelling at a speed which will not enable you to stop in time to avoid an accident is your fault and not matter how he drove to avoid traffic its his fault.. still i hope he is alright.. but it might all remind us not to be in such a hurry all the time..

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
