Please be careful on the roads, guys. Freak accidents like this happen. I knew, not well, but knew the guy who died today. The panel beating shop he ran in the west was devastated when they heard the news. Did anyone see the accident?

I was caught in that traffic jam. Took me 2 hours to move 2.5 kms.

A truckie behind me got out and took a squirt next to his diesel tanks. Then a lady in front stopped in the emergency lane, opened both driver side doors and had a squat.

LOL she's clearly done this before. I wouldn't have thought of doing that myself.

Someone dies because instead of continuing on with their life they stopped to help someone...and people believe there's a god? If there is he/she ain't kind!

lol, people will say "god" works in mysterious ways.

Funny how 'God' to some people has become just something to blame things on when shit goes wrong, its pathetic.

RIP to the poor guy, and his family.

Did anyone else find it a bit insensitive that all the policeman was talking about was the traffic, when an innocent bloke has died!?

The clip went for 64 seconds and he commented on the traffic for the last 17 seconds, i guess you must have watched a different clip.

This is the second time i know of this happening in almost the same location, last time an axle broke on a truck, the tyre and axel bounced off the sound barrier and hit a sub contractor mowing the grass.

Not at all, what with free will and all. But a lack of divine intervention? Yes, he/she could cut someone a lttle slack maybe and prevent that from happening - given we hear of people claiming to have their prayers answered. And particularly when we have a heap of rules and morals dictating in his/her words what a good person is supposed to be - how unfortunate that judgement comes after the tyre flying at 90km/h to take you out on the way to helping someone.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
