Bad Carlos - what's he doing driving that overpriced Volkswagen?

Nissan boss crashes Porsche into motorbike

Nissan Motor Co. President Carlos Ghosn escaped unharmed after he crashed his Porsche into a motorbike in downtown Tokyo, police said.

The motorbike fell to the ground and the rider and a passenger sustained minor injuries in the accident that happened shortly before 11 a.m., Sunday, on Gaien-Higashi Dori avenue in the capital's Minato-ku.

Ghosn, 49, was making a U-turn and strayed into the opposite lane, where his vehicle hit an oncoming motorbike. (Mainichi Shimbun, Japan, Feb. 9, 2004)

Im sure he has the Maddest R34 GTR, V35, 350Z and aslo any other car he wants. Hmm i think I will drive hmmmmmmmmm.

damn I wish I was rich in only have the commo or the commo to drive. both are blue and hmmm bothe are a holden. VL or the VP. Hmm drive the VP the most as it has more power. AAHHAHAHHAHA

is there any japanese input in the new nissan's?
Yes. I posted up ages ago that Nissan makes the 3 most important decisions on any given problem/project/discussion, and Renault (read: Ghosn) makes the 23 other less important decisions...

Btw, Nissan isn't dead. They're just doing business differently. All you guys are still stuck in the bubble economy years with your expectations of Nissan. I'd just like to add that Nissan aren't the only ones doing major restructuring... and I'm not just talking about car makers either. These kind of changes are happening in all levels of business in Japan, so "the good old days" are just that: old... and never to return.

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
