If he has a record of driving offences then throw the book at him but this article tells you 0 about his driving history. If he has no prior violations why would you punish him so harshly. Its an accident, accidents happen.

My 2c

Dead set though, he rolled the thing. That's not something that just 'happens' accidentally on the road is it? He must have been driving pretty damn recklessly to achieve that kinda result. Sure we all give it a squirt here and there, but jeez....

It says he spun out hit a kerb and then a low wall. You don't really need to be going any significant speed to roll a car after that. Nobody really knows whats gone on we're all just speculating and anything can happen on the roads. Just because he flipped it doesn't automatically make him an idiot. He got what he deserved but some of the reactions on here are way over the top. Everyone acts like an idiot sometimes its just most of the time we get away with it.

i dont know why everyone get all angry at this shit

i know that everyone i know that owns a sports car has or does take risk at some point.

i myself take risks everyday. coz i spent the f**king money and i can drive my car how ever the f**k i want

and if i crash it, its my problem not yours. and if someone gets hurt that is still ym problem and i would be the one doing the time.

so whats the point saying things like "whoever was driving this deservers to be in prison" WHY?.. coz he took a risk and crashed. well. sorry we've all had close calls when the tiniest thing different and our car would of ended up liek this 33. just got to make sure you know what your doing and have assessed the situation before you drop clutch in 2nd and sit on limiter around a corner :)

i say f**k it. bad luck he ruined his car. and glad he's ok that all i can say.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You have got to be kidding right!!!!!!!!!!! :ermm::D:laugh::down::down::down::down:

If you hurt someone else its not just ur problem... Its that persons MUM, DAD, BROTHER, SISTER, WIFE, COUSIN, GRANDMA,GRANDDAD problem as well as theirs... Do I make a point?

And It is not your right to drive a car like a idiot on the road because you bought it. IT IS NOT YOUR ROAD. Go to a track..

Any one that talks, acts or drives like this is not a enthusiast just a wanker so sell the Skyline and stop giving us a bad name!! :)

yes i understand that.

but who's road is it?.. it aint the cops road. they just patrol it. so i am pretty sure its safe to say i can do what i want

AND everyone that i have ever done anything in front of seems to yell things like "f**k yea" and "skid it" or "that was sweet"... if i hear "your a f**kwit" its usually from a 70yr old camry driver.

but hey i hardly speed i dont drink drive and i rarely put myself at risk of hitting anyone or another car.

on another note, I am off to MT Cotton to thrash the shit out of a porsche tomorrow at a performance driver training day before taking my R35 on the track next month. May I suggest TIR60 that you take your aggressive driving off public roads as well? you would probably enjoy your car more at the track!

yes i understand that.

Your an idiot, it is not your road, its not the cops road either that has nothing to do with it, its shared with everyone and everyone pays for it, and to say you can do what you want is just plain stupid, you sound like a knob. I think once you actually kill someone and its like a child and all because your'e an argonaut douche and decided to drift around a corner in a suburban area because after all "the road is yours" since you the only one who pays for it and only one who uses it. I hope you loose your licence soon, because you definitely shouldn't be driving. You sound like a f**ken 5 year old dood, grow the f**k up!!!!!!!!!!

Its not a right to drive on public roads, its a privilege and this is a privilege that can be taken away from you. So keep going because the sooner your off the road the better, somehow I think your views my change a little once you're a paraplegic and watch your whole family suffer and try to pick up your bill.

So Good luck to you. :)

+1, great idea!

save it for the track!!!!!!!!!!!!

Handbrake, r u going to Paul/MountainRunner's TimeAttach day?

It's great to see more 35's getting on the track!

What if it is ME you hit? Then is it my problem?

GTF off the road. Seriously.

I suddenly feel prison is appropriate for road rule breakers... At least some of them, none in particular though.

Yeah, I'm starting to feel like prison might not be such a bad idea.

yes i understand that.

lmao, words can't begin describe how much of a dipshit you are. maybe its time for you to take your posting rights back to boostcruising, you'll fit right in over there.

i agree with 99 GTT.

i don't care about the driver, i feel sorry for the car (which looks like it was a nice skyline), any innocent bystanders who could have been hit, and anyone stupid enough to have been in the passenger seat.

gaol is no deterrent. some people prefer to be in gaol than outside - how is it a deterrent for them?

and as for 'who's road is it' - that's not the point - the point is if you drive like a muppet you can kill someone else or render them a vegetable, and that's not your problem, that's their problem, and their family's problem etc. the courts aren't going to bring back someone's wife/daughter/father etc once you've run them over. you may not be making a contribution to society, but what if you hit someone decent and worthwhile? that's what concerns me. or what if you destroy a good skyline?

if you drive like an idiot get off the road. you should be shown no mercy.

plus you can always go to the track and roll your skyline there if you really have to.

    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
