Report:-

Last night, westbound on The Crescent Rd., Newport, an inexperienced 24 yr old driver took his restored car for a test drive with a friend.

He ended up hitting a tree. Only minor injuries are reported to have been sustained.

The Datsun 1600 was apparently unregistered.

Im a P plater, and that sort of stuff just seriously ruins out reputation on the road. But not only P Platers, look at the 44 year old idiot..

The glamourise the whole P Plate accident, yet only provide limited information on the 44 year old who died.. if they made that much of an effort to dig up info on the P plater why not the 44 year old man.. RIP 2 both of them.. but it shows how biased the media can be. Sorry for hijacking guys :)

Poor datto :( .. looked so good .. Friggin' idiot for taking it for a "spin"

speed being a factor....

That phrase is one of my pet peeves.

Of course speed is a factor. Speed is a factor in any crash. The only way an object can have no speed is if its not moving, in which case the laws of physics say it's impossible for it to hit anything else.

you know what is far worse? people who condemn the speeding, after the accident, because they never speed. not once has there been a bit of stick given on the streets by these saints. even at 24yo, with their newly built car.

cmon !!! get real !!! i'm so sick of hearing it.

of course, i dont condone speeding on the street. but simply put, be realistic ... @^#%#*!!!!

do you think you're scoring brownie points? next time the cops pull you over, are they gonna say, hmm its weevil, left him off with a hand job ?!!!!

I was reading the article mate, and if you read it, they say he was doing at least 90km in a 50 zone.

hahaha, dont get too worked up princess. its not a go at you. its a go at that old and tired 'speeding' bullshit, from a bunch of hypocrites.

its obvious speeding is unsafe. you shouldnt do it. and if you do, you're taking your life, and perhaps other's, into your own hands. it can have devistating affects. thats not the point though.

btw, thanks for the seemingly civil PM, followed by name calling in your post. that's classy :)

and its - YOU'RE a joke Munkyb0y

i find it very hard to believe that anyoneee here has NEVER sped in their skyline.If uve sped before, then dont sit here and have a go at someone for doing it. the bloke made a mistake and he paid the GREATEST penalty, so back off :)

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
