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

    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools. Buy Genuine Nissan 48700JF00D (48700-JF00D) Lock Set-Steering. Prices, fast shipping, photos, weight - Amayama
    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
