last night about 9pm in moorabbin (chesterville Rd) i saw a white S2 R33 gtst Slamd into a poll it happend about 5mins before i went passed. was it anyone off here?? if so how did it happen??

Thats no good . Hope it wasnt 1 of ours.. Them pole can stuff up your whole weekend..

The guy that crashed is my friend, he's perfectly fine (thank god for airbags). He walked out without a scratch. What happened was the road was a bit slippery, car went on boost and kicked out, the guy didn't manage to recover it and smacked into the pole. I think he panicked and hit the accelerator instead of the brakes (I didn't want to get into too much detail with him).

They were on the way to go go-karting and thats when it happened. The thing is, the guy is 24, off his P's and only had the car for a year. I think if he was a hoon and practiced drifting, he would've recovered it, but i suppose shit just happens. The car is a complete write-off but i suppose the main thing is that hes fine and the night didn't end with us having to call his parents.

lucky for your friend, dam makes me think i should take some of kevs clases i got off my Ps and im 22 and reciently started to drive my skyline around allot more dont want some thing like that to happen to me but i done hoony stuff befor but doesnt make me a pro lolz,

How much of a difference would have AWD vs RWD in a situation like that helped? I've almost spun out in my car on rainy nights even driving pretty sedately, but I haven't driven a RWD Skyline in the wet before. Would the transfer of torque in that situation with all the tires already losing traction actually help much?

who was the dude wif the auto 33?? APS GTS i think the number plate was??

ATP GTS, his name is Adam, good friends with the guy who crashed. He was already at the go-kart track (i think) when the other guy crashed.

Advanced drivers course would definitely help. Driving a R33 gts-t in the wet is a nightmare. In the wet around corners hyundai excels get away from me lol, the back just steps out of line. (probably has a lot to do with my crappy suspension, but I'l definitely get into one of the driver dynamics courses, just so i can get some tips on safer driving in the wet.

Lol dude learn to not berry the right foot :(

Yeh there is definitely that, but it depends on what kind of road you're on, what kind of suspension you have and what type of tires you have. In the wet, i don't bury my right foot, the car slides on its own alot of the time (not powerslide), and the whole boost thing duznt make it any easier. But thanks for the constructive criticism. ;)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
