Sorry I dont have a pic, but did anyone happen to drive along creek rd mt gravatt east last night heading toward carindale?

From the chat I had with the cops there was a fatality and the unlucky driver of a suzuki swift (late model) lost control and absolutely totalled the car.. the other car involved left the scene.!!! But they know who it is.

I stood there looking at the wreck on the back of a flat bed in disbeleif trying to understand what model of car it was.... I had to ask the cops and tow truck driver to be told it was the suzuki.. all glass, every panel totally disformed.. Doors missing.. it was f**ked up...

Nothing on news.com.au... anyone got any further info?

mate of mine was driving past when it happened apprently flipped 7 times

oh snap!

Yeah saw the wreckage on the news...unreal. Can't believe the cops discussed what happend with you, they ususally say they're not allowed to discuss anything...especially a fatal acco.

Yep, after seeing the news regarding the fone call about being chased and checking out the scene myself, there was more to this then racing thats for sure..

On site forensics extimated the speed at 150.. debris spread further then they could care to find too.. lol :thumbsup:

Lol i was supprised the cop did not tell me to bugger off too.. He was cool with the chat! mind u it was all said and done by then, car was on the flat bed and forensics had finished..

It still surprises me cops confuse these 'angry ant' racers on their 'p's who drive mums lancer or dads falcodore with people like myself, who have been driving their modified cars for years without incident. I would be very interested to know if any statistics have been gathered regarding imported versus domestic cars involved in highspeed/streetrace crashes. I suspect import cars have been getting unfarely targeted.

See how there is no mention of hooning in the media..

Now just imagine if a Skyline was involved.! Instant hoon status regardless of the scenario.. Even the coppa's were pretty quick to say it was street racing until they found out more facts after the incident!

Pretty reasonable assumption when they estimate speeds at 150km/h, regardless of the type of vehicle... that'd probably be my first thought too

If they were indeed being 'chased', a huge thumbs up to the gutless wonders in the other car for leaving two people seriously injured/dead trapped in a demolished car :D

its indefensible to say you "had to" exceed the speed limit by 80km because you were being chased. chased by who? kung fu panda? the mafia? anyone sensible just pulls into a servo, or in front of a police station.

i agree about the imported vs domestic car angle, would be interesting to see the stats on it. people who put time and effort into their car are less likely to put themselves in a position where they will prang it, i reckon.

Well the full story is out now. Turns out the driver was stalking/harassing some chick who rejected him. Long build up over time of him driving past throwing shit at their house etc and previous police involvment. Guy drove past and B/F of the chick who lived there went and followed him. Now him and his g/f are dead and the other guy is under arrest and in the shit.

His own fault, pitty his g/f was in the car as well.

yet on friday ngiht jsut gone, at the intersection of smith street and kumbarri ave in southport, right opposite the caltex servo on smith street, i think 3 were killed there after a street race between a white volvo, old model, and a xf ford falcon, but 3 would have servived when the swift that got cleaned up, actually ran a red light and collided with the speeding volvo. it may have indeed been the volvo and the fords fault for racing/speeding excessivly at speeds estimated at around 160km/h, but it was the swifts fault for running the red light in the first place. it is open to argument but in my opinion it is intirely the swifts fault that cause this accident and the deaths that follows.

sorry for high jacking,

OT,

yes why bother between a swift/colt and a lancer.

but there is one rather NICEISH ralleyart colt with LIL EVO plates that i see driving to brisbane all the time, the girl that drives that is quite fine, hope it wasnt her.

feelings go out to the 2 victoms in this crash and every other crash on queensland roads this week

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
