omg :mad:

i was going past that kfc like a minute before that happened :|

omg its a sign... :yucky:

Seems like whenever there is a horrible car crash the driver survives most of the time, and one or more passengers are killed.

pretty sad to hear. condolences to family. and shame on the driver, theres a time and place for shit like that, but NOT with 4 other people in the car.

*waits for aca hoon story*

Ok here the thing you come waking round the corner hand in hand with Lockie to the sound a screeching tyre's and a wrx screaming towards you no time to move or even say save me Jesus, you and Lockie are pinned to the stobie your knocked out cold and Little Lockie didnt stand a chance killed instantly, you wake up 3 months later from a massive brain heamoridge you ask to see Lockie not knowing he has been killed.

a little dramatic i think not you were with me the night we saw a young lady killed on the side of the road run over in the prime of her life

yeah bunny, steve is religious, church goer etc and I look up to him (yes you madaz!) for that, although its not my belief

200% I know steve would have said his prayers for the deceased.

rip, and I hope many many ppl can learn from this.

++++++

now, big one. will effect my mind at night for a long long time

last night I picked up my 2.5yr old Deontae from child care, on walk home he ran across the road when I said "after this car" and he was mm from being killed 1m in front of me

so so scary. speeding car, not holding hands for a moment (oh god never again, I cant forgive myself for what happened yesterday), standing partially behind a parked car so child coulnt be seen by van driver,

he bolted as soon as I said "after......" and I couldnt do anything. so helpless with no knees, just could not move fast enough 1m to my front/left to grab him - no stability to move quickly.

van saw him and swerved (no brake lights) very minimally, then realized what happened. came back and abused me angrily, tarago full of family/kids, they were off their tap, understandably. all I said was Im sorry about 5x.

if she didnt move the steering wheel to the right by 5mm, it would have been death - I saw it in a flash, deontae flung 30m to the sidewalk, almost dead life and death.

I see preminitions, life choices like dejavu where there are 2 choices right there and then, and 2 outcomes, both that massively effect your life path. Ive had these visions since childhood, and see things what can happen and then what does happen, all in a split second.

I saw what almost happened to my child.

It was horrible, seeing for 0.1sec him hit and in the air for 30m, then the .1sec of life/death after being hit, then the actual event the next .2sec where the van sped past and missed by half a foot.

wow

to the van driver, Im sorry, but I thank god you were attentive enough to make an adjustment to your steering.

everyone , slow down in metro area where kids could be.

Thats a nice fanciful story there steve but it hardly justifies the comment about wrx owners learning their lesson...yes, shit happens but an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. The driver is going to have to live with the fact he killed somebody. Isn't there a christian saying about 'turning the other cheek'?....

-D

EDIT: Actually the saying I was thinking of was 'Let he who is without sin cast the first stone'

whats so sad here is that the deceased had his life xroad path in front of him when he decided to get in that seat, not at the accident scene.

so far back in time (when got in car), so innocent as far as his choice to do so instead of not getting in car, but getting in that seat, saying whatever ie "nice corner" 5minutes before or something, each minute there are life xroad choices............., such a simple and innocent personal choice (to get in car) ended his life.

see it in your eyes, learn a lesson. just be so careful, we wield the power of life and death over other people.

make your choices wisely

hmmm, I can definitely see 2 sides here.

1./ The hoon drivers out there (not just WRX drivers) definitely need to learn a lesson from this....if someone killed my kid from hoon behaviour, there would be 2 funerals & 1 imprisonment. My dad would always say, "Learning from other people's mistakes is always better than learning from your own".

2./ You have to feel compassion for all involved, including the driver.........we can't imagine how this will affect the rest of his and his familiy's lives from here on.

yeah, reading this and what happened to me / deontae last night - really hits home for me

just got to be that 5% more careful in metro area

never had accident, and am so careful, but really we all need to be on the ball.

100% concentration

You've taken that out of context Ben and too many people use that as an excuse to turn a blind eye to the wrong doings of others.

That quote was directed at people about to kill a female for prostitution when some of them had been guilty of the same or worse

I don't think I've taken it out of context, simply because it (as a saying) has become part of western life. I'm sure some of the dickheads out there who are beating their chests about this have done stupid things aswell. Cause lets face it, nobody is a saint, nobody leads a flawless life, and therefore people should look in the mirror. I love it how hypocritical this society is. Say one thing, do the other...

Are we all going to heap shit on someone for a stupid stupid mistake? I'm not. If you guys want to hate on, thats your prerogative, I for one would prefer to forgive and live without the bad karma.

-D

Edit; incidentally, if the men were going to stone a prostitute and were guilty 'of the same or worse' does that mean they were all whoring themselves?

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • 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?
