*sigh* here comes the publicity :thumbsup:

Hard to say what caused the accident though, out in Gidgegannup there are some fast roads, so he may not have been doing anything wrong. Will have to wait and see... In any case, hope he rests in piece.

car ripped in 2 means a good chance of doing something wrong but that doesnt take away from the fact that it is still sad. most of us including myself went through that stage, luckily most of us come out the other end - but i lost a mate on the way so news stories like this make me cringe

yeah i heard it on radio.. near toojay?

but least he is with his pride a joy o.o

"A Bellevue man died last night after the car he was driving split in two after slamming into a tree in Gidgegannup.

Insp. Trevor Davis said the 23-year-old lost control of the Nissan Skyline he was driving on Toodyay Road near Roland Road about 10pm .

He said that after rounding a bend, the car slid for more than 70 metres before hitting a tree on the driver's side.

"The impact was so severe that the vehicle split in two, the front end coming to rest 16 metres past the impact point," Insp. Davis said.

The man died at the scene. It is believed speed was a factor."

He wasnt necessarily driving like a hoon, a few years ago i lost a friend to a similar accident, her car swerved and hit a tree but it caught alight, and im fairly certain she wasnt hooning.

It could happen to anybody.

Poor guy, RIP.

Poor dude.

What's even worse is that it was all the way out there.

Next car to drive past you if you crash could be half an hour away, then you've gotta wait for an ambo, and then survive the trip back to the hospital .... bad place to crash at high speed.

Pfft that's not remote.. when I was up north over Xmas I was worried about hitting a cow, rolling the truck and bleeding out in the middle of nowhere.. hell, on Xmas day we went 11hrs without seeing another vehicle on the road.

No shit, but Gidge isnt exactly a busy area either even at 7 in the morning.

Its fairly busy on weekdays on that road, everyone uses it, but sometimes it becomes fairly quiet,

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?

      I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk

      Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
