As people have said, if this was the type of add on TV for safer driving it might have more impact, particularly with such a backing track.

Much better then a grainy beer add trying to limit drinking.

A couple of those circumstances were interesting, the swerve to avoid the dog that ended un the lover squashie embrace is a common occurance, it is or was against the law. You are/were not allowed to deviate from your course to avoid a domestic animal, just for the reason as demonstrated. Having a skyline that handeled or braked instead of a shit box would not have resulted in the same situation.

The other situation was where the fellow was going around the corner to find a broken down car in the lane. Even doing the speedlimit would have resulted in the same outcome there. Goes to prove drive within sighted braking distance, ignore speed limits. Get better tyres and buy a car that brakes (skyline anyone?)

I think this is just a montage of all the best/worst car crash ads

More importantly, buy a car with ABS, Stability Control and Electronic Brake Assist, and learn what they do and how they work. All of the example accidents could of been prevented or at least lessened the damage caused with the use of these aids.

In saying that, Attitude is the most important factor. If everyone had the right attitude, and made better risk assessments, there would be no need for the above aids. But everyone makes mistakes and you would need everyone to pay attention 100% of the time and take note to the techniques that can be used (and more importantly, put into practice). Realistically, never going to happen :D

If each of those cars were travelling only 10kmh faster they would have been down the road past the point of the accident before it even happened...

The lesson here is - travel 10kmh over the limit everywhere to avoid accidents :D

i dont think these adds will be shown in australia cause the government doesn't have the balls to show such graphic stuff. might spark a "public outcry" about how its too graphic and shit.

saw these adds a few years ago as well so its unlikely we'll see these anytime soon.

also not everyone has Tsuchiya levels of driving skill like you Reece haha

or 10km/h under... but we all know this isn't an option

    • 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  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • 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.
