traffic was pretty messed up from it.

i was just about to get off at calga, and the cop waved at me.. told me to follow 5 highway patrol cars down the freeway to gosford.. we were doing like 5km/h the whole way, had a huge headache by the end of it from all the flashing lights.

when we went past the accident scene it was all clear, was like grass and dirt on the rd a bit, but the cops (and im guessing towtrucks) into the old look out on the north side of the bridge, saw all the flashing lights in there as were coming down the bridge.

Our prayers go out to the persons family that died in the crash.

"Police from the Metropolitan Crash Investigation Unit are appealing for witnesses following yesterday’s fatal crash on the F3.

The collision occurred about 1km south of the Peats Ridge Road on-ramp, Somersby, about 4.30pm yesterday (Monday 30 May).

Early investigations suggest a silver Holden Commodore, being driven by a 52-year-old man, was travelling south when it crossed to the incorrect side of the road and collided with three other vehicles.

The driver of the Commodore suffered fatal injures and died at the scene.

The 38-year-old driver of a Nissan GTR suffered multiple fractures and he remains in hospital, while the 50-year-old driver of a Barina suffered a broken sternum and also remains in hospital.

The third driver of a Ford was not injured."

Good to hear, however still unfortunate that there was a death. Condolences to all involved, their friends and family. It's a shit section of road at the best of times.

Like the others here best wishes for him and hope the surgery goes well.

I'm sure it goes without saying that if there is something the club can do, please let us know.

Thanks Eric, he will be extremely appreciative of the support from SAU

Maybe we should organise a hospital drive by cruise so he can at least hear the RB music :teehee:

Seriously though, if there is a DVD player in his room I can bring some videos of club events and I have a stack of motive DVD's I'm happy to loan him if he's going to be stuck in the hospital for a while.

I know what it's like to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, but luckily I walked away with just some physio.

Thanks Eric - You've just shown once again what a brilliant and supportive community we have here at SAU - I will be visiting him later today and will pass on all the messages of support.

      It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By ShezzDogs · Posted

      Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!

      Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler?

      Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
