at least he would of died instantly so he wouldnt of suffered!

although it does sound he was speeding, i was in a crash in mid 08, commodore into a power pole at 120+ car split in 2 but there was a tiny bit of roof holdin the 2pieces toghether, so for a smaller car to be clean split in 2 i assume he was going faster than the 110 speed limit.

( i was a rear passenger in the crash above, unfortunately my missus and i were the only ones injured, people in front walked away, wet roads, 5 week old p plater, north lake rd, doesnt end well! i also must state that all this occurred before we had time to realize wat was going on)

That is horrific.

as above, rip to the lad and condolences to his family and friends..

i found another quote on another news site, it kinda indicates that he probably was speeding excessively..

“There were 70-odd metres of skid marks and given the damage to the vehicle, how he wrapped around that tree, excessive speed would appear to be the major contributing factor.”

but still.. :blink:

drive safely guys..

Sorry to hear that mate! How is everything healing after the crash? You still with your girlfriend?

I kinda find these stories to be more painful than the other one. I mean this in the nicest possible way but I would rather die than lose a leg thats for sure.

RIP to the other driver.

Show some respect

I totally agree hey. This could have happened to anyone that has pushed there cars a little bit "to much" on the road before, and that accounts for at least 80+% of people on this forum in my opinion. It is just pure bad luck.

Rest in Peace bro, may your memory live on!

yea still with her, 4 years together in April, i still dont have full range of movement in my hand and my ribs are still foobared but other than that, its just the memories which haunt me! I remember everything until hitting the pole, then regaining consciousness with my gf laying next to me, covered in blood and still conscious, i was covered head to toe in brake fluid, tranny fluid and gfs blood, still have my cloths (dont wear them ofcourse since they stink like tranny fluid)

she spent 2weeks in a coma and died twice in the ambulance and who knows how many times at the hospital. Her abdomen was torn open by the seatbelt across her entire stomach approx. 6" deep. ended up in ICU many times, suffered infections, failed surgeries, 5months of being bed bound, septacimia...and much more!

missus has ongoing problems, she will for the rest of her life unfortunately, its sad because its usually the ones not doing anything wrong that get hurt!

that aside and back on topic, my condolences to the family!

*cringe* - losing a leg is life-changing (it's not just scars now!) sorry to hear about your accident. And best of luck to you and your girlfriend...

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
