I read about it in the courier mail or sunny coast daily can't remember. Skyline hit a tree bent in half and driver and passenger walked away without a scratch. Was it anyone on the forums or does anyone know em. Seriouslly lucky people.

no one knows the situation so a bit harsh to just judge whatever happened they lucky

Yeh I see it all the time cars doing the speed limit and getting wrapped around trees for no reason.........Must have been some diesel on the road or something similar :(

Thats the joys of not being the person that it happened to......we get to judge.....The main thing is everyone got out alright......

the article actually said they were comming back from brissie and heading back home to gympie, when their car aquaplaned, and as a result smashed into a tree. the police didnt tell the reporter they suspected speeding as an issue.

so why crucify this driver, could have happened to anyone

Yea I didn't make the post to judge the people in the crash, just wondering if they were on here cause it was a seriously lucky escape. Pic looked intense car was nearly in half. Yea the article didn't say anything about speeding and it was probably raining at the time with the weather we've been having.

Your right...Would've been raining in order to provide water for the "Aqua Plane". ;)

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
