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.

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.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
