Nah not him.

I witnessed the crash, it was the most horrific thing i've ever seen in my life. No one walked in front of him, he came flying over the bump in the middle of hepburn/wanneroo intersection and completely lost it. He literally flew over the median strip and hit 2 cars and i was behind them...

I don't know that intersection, as I live SoR, but if this quote is right... then I guess it's the same kinda accident that happened over High Rd in Riverton. Where a car load of kids died in a BMW when they lost it from going too fast over a bump and hit a tree.

Like those bump/dips in the road that, if you go over at a decent speed, they make your guts feel weird...

like that road that runs around the back of Lake Herdsman - Powis Street turns into it, Haydon Bunton drive or something, any more than 80 kays on there and you almost go airborne.

Although I have not been past there in a few weeks, I do not recall that intersection being that lumpy. Nothing like wanneroo road and green street, that one is psycho if you come from walcott and cross wanneroo into green street

Jon Sanders Drive?

Man that road has been fked for a long time. I had to use that road for 3 years... :(

Just the comments on the story from PerthNow site.

http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/comments/0...37-2761,00.html

Not surprisingly many people are pulling their keyboard warrior attitude & blaming P-platers & high performance cars

again... :(

I know makes me angry cos I'm on P Plates :(

I didn't kill anyone except for a pole... and my bunky was commiting suicide anyway so wasnt' my fault *hmph* lol

Of course, there's no specific details of the accident, at present it's hearsay and already people jump on the hoon/p plate wagon i'm making a comment on there now

Everyone on that site will blame High peformance cars and p platers, not all p-platers are tossers tho and on that news one it dosent actually say he was a p plater.

Doesn't look like my comment is going to get posted :( I went on a mini-rant about everyone jumping on the "hoon hating" bandwagon when it was actually our shitty road conditions that appear to be the major contributing factor.

I know the intersection, it's dodgy as. I've gotten air through there heading east at only 60kph.. scary shit!

Simon (R32-GTS) smashed a hole in his sump on the same bump.. lucky the workshop is only 100m away lol

heys guys,

my dad rang me about the accident this morning. My olds live in Kalgoorlie now and dad was in perth and saw it all from a little distance. He said the "silver 4 door skyline" overtook him alitle way back but just in traffic not speeding and then in the distance the car swerved and hit sumthing and it launched the car over the medium strip and it was all she wrote really. Worst thing is dad mentioned a large S sticker on the left rear window of the car with two letters underneath it. Heart sorta sank abit then cause mentioning that when he doesnt even know who SAU is is scary. Then made me think the sticker is prolly very common on cars and may not be a member of the forums.

Either way RIP :( doesnt look like it was speeding or hooning or anything, just bad luck but im sure there will be pollies whinging about hoons over it

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
