Yay thanx dude! My comment got posted, looks like Bubba's did too

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

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
