Agreed, that way there is no shit fights or hurt feelings.

ok steve what about that skyline cruise we went on, were drew crashed and the fella in the other car died. You missed that car by a about a centermetre!! Fair enough at the time we were not driving stupid but we were speeding alot before that.

Everyone does stupid things.

Steven had bought this 180 one week before and had never owned a turbo car let alone one with 225kws. he was following a white car what was going slow so he floored it around them only to have an island there.

Was just a bad move by him.

Ne one ill pm everyone who wants the location later tonight.

thanks guys

I feel for his kids, but a little concerned about a post asking for donations right after so many cruises asking for the same thing. The difference being, one registered charity, one um not.

Regardless of how he died or why... you really have to feel for his kids.

How many of us on this site have been "lucky". Well he wasn't. Thats the ONLY difference due to us not knowing the exact circumstances.

If we hadn't been that minutely so lucky we would be viewed in the same light by people just like ourselves.

Condolences datto

+1 to lock thread.

My cousin who owns an R33 knew Gillies well.

I heard about the accident shortly after it happened. Very nasty accident. Heard pretty much what happened from his friends that were not so far behind at the time the accident occurred.

It was a stupid accident that didn't have to happen. I grew up down south and have NFI why they put those stupid islands there severely reducing the overtaking locations; myself I've almost been caught out at night with the typical 50km/h cruiser that refuses to sit on the speed limit oh shit island better pull back in.

There's just something that is as frustrating as hell when the signed speed limit is 70km/h your on your way to work or pushed for time and you have a rude individual sitting well under the limit with no respect for any one else on the road.

There is enough real estate, push it out to 2 lanes. I suspect they have plans to as it is 2 lanes closer up to KFC etc.

no offence to the dude that started the thread but i think it needs to be locked. otherwise its just gonna end up in argument, everyone is entitlted to their say in the end. its a public forum

take a chill pill everyone and lets keep the peace on sau :/

good call

as i implied, i don't always get it right i may seem harsh with un planned and poorly written thoughts but those that know me usually know what im trying to say

and we do. we know ur a good dude, but sometimes, as ur mates, we gotta call u on it :/

-D

OK, my hand is hovering over the lock button........the last thing we need right now is Nathan in here firing people up........take a deep breathe Nath

Pete, just delete the posts regarding anything but attendance. It would be best for all concerned. This thread does not deserve to be locked, but its been polluted with debate.

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
