Good job nobody was seriously hurt or killed.

Driver interviewed after tunnel crash

Article from: PerthNow Jon Bassett

September 05, 2009 09:00am

FOUR people were injured after being hit by a utility as they walked through the Northbridge Tunnel in East Perth early today.

Police said the four were the driver and three passengers in a Nissan Skyline that had hit the wall of the eastbound lane.

They had left the car and were walking out of the tunnel when they were hit by a white Holden Commodore utility.

The incident happened about 4.30am.

Police said none of the four was seriously hurt.

One was found in bushes near the tunnel exit with back injuries, another had a broken ankle.

A man, believed to be the driver of the utility that stopped on the Graham farmer Freeway, was being interviewed by police.

How did the commodore ute manage to clean them up? they would have been walking in the emergency lane surely.

And how do you hit the wall in the tunnell? They were either doing some sort of speed, somebody forced them off the road (not necesarily on purpose but a blind lane change), or somebody left something on the road (fallen off/out of a car). Either way something is wrong!

Maybe they walked out in the direction of the traffic? Would have been dumb, dumb, dumb though.

Roads were quite slippery this morning...maybe that was one factor in the initial crash? Still the tunnel is supposed to be dry inside right?

Funny how people ... namely most of you ... make comments that have no foundation in fact. You read some news article that is at best void of any fact or detail such as how the initial accident occurred and you lot of brainstrusts jump to the conclusion that the driver was some moron hoon speeding and driving with reckless abandon. I know the driver of the Skyline and besides being a top bloke he's a damn good driver who has gone through advanced driver training and has experience in rally driving ... he no doubt has better skills than most of you lot combined. Grow up people, accidents happen even to the best of drivers. The police are not looking to charge the Skyline driver with ANYTHING but the guy in the ute is facing a number of serious charges which could result in a prison sentence. BTW don't believe everything you read in the press because there was only one passenger in the Skyline not 3. One more thing when you moan about some Skyline hoons giving everyone else a bad name you moan about the fact you're all the victims of stereotyping ... how is it any different if you come to a conclusion based on little or no facts that the driver in this case was a hoon or lacked the skill to drive that car? Like I said before, grow up and have the sense to make a comment based on FACTS, or don't make a comment at all. :thumbsup:

That is fair enough but I think we'd be interested in how he crashed in the tunnel...call it a lesson learned?

      Rb25 trigger kit and timing misalignment

      By drifter17a · Posted

      The trigger kit I have is similar to the one in the link below. While going through Facebook, I saw someone else mention a similar issue, and I’m starting to think this could be related to the crank gear itself. I understand these parts are CNC machined, but maybe some earlier versions or individual pieces might have slight inconsistencies—it just doesn’t look right in my case. https://www.facebook.com/share/16an8evZd9/?mibextid=wwXIfr I originally installed the crank gear using the thin OEM washer, but as shown in the attached photo, the timing belt walks very close to the edge. When I tried using a Nitto washer—which is thicker—it actually made the issue worse. The belt walks about 1mm off the front edge, which raises more concern about alignment.   I’ve gone through the full process of elimination:   The tensioner pulley and bolt are brand new and installed correctly. The bolt isn’t bent and is oriented properly. The back of the tensioner and the idler pulley are clean and seated correctly. The idler sits slightly more forward, which I understand is due to its design. I’ve experimented with both tight and loose belt tension, but it makes no difference. As soon as the engine runs, the belt immediately walks forward again—even if I reset it beforehand.     At this point, I’m considering replacing the crank gear with your Race Version 1 (12-tooth), but before purchasing, I wanted to ask:   Are you aware of any alignment issues when using this gear? Would this gear help keep the belt aligned correctly, or could the walking still occur? Does it work with a standard missing-tooth crank and rear washer? Is there any specific crank setup or install procedure required?     For reference, I’m not using a front washer, as the PRP crank gear seems to replace the need for one.   Looking forward to your advice.

      Yep, looks that way. Never driven an E30 or R31 so I can only imagine

      Yuh, My new R34 box is sitting on the workshop floor (in its large shipping box, which is a nice thing on its own), along with a front plate to convert to push clutch. There was no way I was interested in rebuilding my existing one. Was only partly interested in the risk of buying a used one. But, if you want a 2nd hander, I can point you to one in/near Melbourne at least. @Komdotkom has one that should be in good enough condition to be usable. I don't think it's in a for sale thread, you'd have to message him. @redzedhas one that definitely needs a rebuild.
