I assume it's not someone who's common on the forums or we would know by now, right?

"Wtf....everyone jumps on the P Plater/Hoon bandwagon? It was a fkn skyline not a commodore. The thing you people don't realise is those with import vehicles have allot of love and pride for our cars. Any 'crazy driving' is done on the track. It's quite a common theme that 'hooning' is not condoned in the imports scene. Young Commodore drivers have a different view and have different influences than those with imports, hence where the burnouts and 'hooning' originated. There's been no specific information on the accident so before everyoen starts speculating, how about show a little fkn consideration and sympathy for those who have lost a love one, and such a young life to loose."

it made it mel :( yours made it too bubba

To "Posted by: melski of Perth NoR 12:26pm today" my experience on the road is in contrast to your theory. Skyline drivers almost always flog from the lights like a bat out of hell....(as do many others..my point is the import car drivers are no saints)

lol..big generalisation here, most people that have bought an import tend to look after it as parts and whatnot are harder to replace and costs more to mantain. I personally wouldnt be flogging my car from the lights at every chance...even when i had a skyline.

They musta been lagging.. there I was refreshing and refreshing and refreshing then BAM all of a sudden up to 35 comments

I know what a twat that made that response to me, I've replied to him btu I think ur right Bubba it's lagging...probably too many people wanting to throw their opinions in.

I don't get why the light is always on P Platers,. Import Drivers, Performance Vehicles.... to be honest I find stupid girls in frangipani covered playboy excels and mum's in landcruisers and old men in falcons to be more trouble on the road ??

Anyone agree?

Roar this is so sad.. and there u hav ppl abusing him thy dont even know what the story is... looking at the car being a 4-door and stock rims it could even be his parents car no one knows yet... lets just hop every1 stays safe over the break dont drive if u dont need to... save lifes you HOONS ahaha jj

nothing will be concrete untill a proper road crash investigation is carried out.

Assumptions is all it is at the moment.

One report did state that police suspect speed was a factor. Time will tell

at the end of the day it has nothing to do with the fact that you own an import or a commodore

all it comes down to is that people make mistakes and the ultimate price that you can pay for this is your life

have seen some stupid actions made by both import and commodore drivers over the years and i don`t think it make a difference what you drive as people will be people and sometimes don`t pick the right time or place to drive there car with some vigor

as i don`t know what caused this accident i`m not pointing any fingers at this driver to the cause of the end of his life but may he RIP and i feel for his family to have to endure this pain at christmas

Eugene, what school? he was from beechboro man, sure he didnt' go to Lockridge or BCC?? heaps familar name...

PS link us up yo...to the silwa thread

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
