I have banned my instructors from using the term "accident".

Typically, when there is a fatal car crash one of the parties involved did something they know they shouldn't have done.

Speeding (or driving too fast for the conditions, you can do this without exceeding the speed limit)

Drink Driving

No Seatbelt

Run red light

Text messaging

Driving like a stroker (ie burnouts - being hektik - etc)

Not paying attention

etc

I'm yet to see a fatal car "accident".

Sadly, in a red light run situation it's most commonly the red light runner that walks away and the innocent motorist that dies, just because of the nature of the collision, (frontal impact versus side impact).

Kane:In regards to the above I know for fact that driver 2-3 times limit, travelling approx 50km/h over speed limit and went straight ahead through red light at Major intersection. Do you still feel sorry for them?

No way dude! I was merely offering a different opinion. There are always so many factors to anything as tragic as this.

All drink driver deserve the full wrath of the law I agree. Guys please don't see me as being some Pro Drink driver. I was merely throwing a spanner in the works.

The amazing thing is high wide spread drink driving actually is. It's insane how many people do it.

Really sad, always the innocent ones who come out 2nd best. Hate people who drink drive, no respect for anyone on the roads including themselves. They need tougher penalties, and i suppose the court system is also somewhat to blame because of the lack of balls most of the judges have these days.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
