Some news story about Nissan crashing into factory...


Recommended Posts

I've been looking for more info on this all day - to no avail...

On the radio news this morning there was a story of a 'young man' driving a 'Nissan sportscar' and crashing at high speed - through a factory - taking out lights and factory stuff and whatnot - landing on its wheels and the guy getting out with na'er a scratch. Was in Scoresby.

Police were amazed he was so unhurt and were 'discussing' it with the driver.

Anyone else heard it or got any more info?

Yeah - is weird. I would have thought it would at least be in the AAP news briefs... they said it at every news from 7.30am onwards.

Perhaps it was some strange dream...

Surely someone else here listens to the radio news in the morning? Was Nova100.

yeah i heard it as well, kinda strange i just dismissed it as bs as they said it was a nissan sportscar... i was thinking, well which one... if someone did a little research they could pretty easily identify it, if they actually saw it. They could well have been talking about a pulsar or a maxima as they are *sporty*

Sorry to brach off the subject but I notice a few of you guys have little links to you pics under you avatare. I put sum up today but no link. Did you have to do it or did it just apear? - Cheers (and sorry to whore)

i didn't do jack, so yeah just appeared.

maybe play with your profile/control panel, may update it or something

Yeah it was a " Young driver in a high powered Nissan twin turbo 300ZX sportscar"...

Apparently he was excessively speeding and lost it, hit the curb and flew into the air, crashing right through the second story of a factory. He walked away from it but unfortunately his car didn't......and we wonder why cops pick on import drivers, cause of IDIOTS like this!!!

In order for the pics to show as a link under your username, you need to make sure it's a 'personal gallery'

If you have any more q's, please do it via PM or start a new thread. :D

yeah guys i was there....

went after mate who has a scanner rang me and told me where it was

basically a black 300zx TT was flying down the street at some ridiculous speed, crashed up the gutter, got massively airborne off a grassy hill in the factory's front garden, clipped the top of the office-level roof (a good 4m off the grass)

it then continued another 5 or 6m through the air and slammed through the corrugated sheetmetal wall of the wharehouse itself, continuing its flight path, hitting roof lighting, narrowly scraping massive steel pillars, and amazingly clearing all the heavy machinery on the floor that woulda made the landing nasty.

it eventually then fairly neatly crash landed in surprisingly good shape, the driver sustained just a few bruises really.....

the interesting thing is we heard from the 1st cop on the scene that there seems to have been a passenger in the car who fled the scene, as police dogs tracked a scent through the factory that led to a broken open side door....

freaky stuff !!!

crazy, i always thought 300zx's would fly pretty well.

I heard on the news he was going at least 200km/h and after he crashed he "allegedly" fled the scene of the accident.

Maybe he was hoping that no one would notice and he could come back later and pick his car up?

    • 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.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
