*puts on glasses*

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

drink drivers bring shit like this upon themselves...

rip dead dude

He would of got home safely if the police hadn't of chased him.

Poor guy... R.I.P.

He would have gotten home safely if he had stopped at the booze bus, its his own fault, don't feel one bit sorry fire there idiot, his family and friends are the ones suffering because he made a f**ktard decision to run, don't blame the cops, take away there powers to pursue and we will have anarchy.

Perhaps he was a regular who got harassed by the police and was trying to avoid getting defect?

Still not a reason to doing a runner from a cop with emergency lights on, running a red light on a busy road, doing twice the speed limit, etc. There is no excuse for this.

Sympathy for the driver, there have been a lot of people lately avoiding cops and doing runners - maybe it's time the police took a different approach to the situation. It's clear things aren't working, wonder how many more people are going to die before things change.

And?

Avoiding a defect is a good reason to risk the lifes of everyone around you?

How about selling the car? everyone knows what the go is in vic with this situation, if your gonna be a f**ktard and do a runner because you dont want a defect notice then either make your car legal or go buy a f**king daewoo, how ever you put it there is no reason to be in that situation and leave everyone who loved him with there lifes ripped to shreads because of one f**ktard decision!

5 people have died already from police pursuits in Vic. There was a head on collision in Vic where someone coming the other way was hit head on.

Why don't the police just get the number plate and pay them a visit..... rather than chasing them and putting everyone at risk when there are other cars around?

Lots of motorists drive like twats...but there must be other means than chasing them when that has the potential to FURTHER endanger peoples lives.

And how do you do that when the plates or the car has been stolen, or unregistered or the owner Denys all knowledge and claims to be in bed and had no idea if the car was stolen and returned, if you really think that is going to work then you live in fantasy land.

Think about it, for all the cops know this guy is running because they just killed/ kidnapped some one and the body was in the boot, would you like to be told "yeah we saw him but didn't go after him coz we were gonna have a chat to him later, sorry your girlfriend was killed before he came home for a chat"

You want ways to stop people running from the cops, how about mandatory 12 months jail, that would get people thinking twice before they did a runner

And it would also get them driving twice as fast if they did do a runner, and taking more drastic measures to get away.

I just think through such a busy area...the officers in the unmarked should have been more stealth and followed him and then turned on the sirens when there wasnt busy intersections etc around.

Either way, his choice to run from the police cost him his life. Quite a bigger price of pay than a defect fine or DUI.

I know for a fact, that I'd much rather not being coming the other way when a speeding driver is trying to flee from a police car.

What busy area, it was 6:30am on a public holiday, if it was busy he would have taken other people out, and lets not forget that the cops who you are saying caused the accident were in pursuit for 37 seconds.

Oh okay, didn't realise it wasn't busy. Just looked like a main street to me.

Well no, ultimately he was the one behind the wheel who lost control...but the police chasing him was the reason he was going so fast, just like the booze bus was the reason he did a U-turn. Obviously, this was due to the fact he must of had a reason to want to get away.

I just think they should have tried to be a bit more stealth. I mean, he did a U-turn to avoid a booze bus....so police would of known if they put the sirens on he was going to gun it.

I just feel stealth would of been more appropriate due to the fact he was "spooked" and was obviously wreckless in trying to get away.

Don't drive the car then if that's the case. I love my Line, but I know the risks and issues associated with driving one. It's all part of it. Simple. Don't expect to drive an import, modified or not and not have some legal issues with the fuzz along the way. Right or wrong that's the way it is.

Maybe you need to read the story then, also add in that the cops were apparently 500 meters behind him when he crashed and the pursuit lasted all of 37 seconds

But for what reason, it could have been simply dui or some thing a lot worse

Have you seen "highway patrol" most people pull over once they know they have been spotted and the cops are behind them.

Also lets have a look at the facts, people are up in arms because there has been 5 fatal police pusuits in the last 6 months, there were 716 pusuits in 2011, 5 out of 716 is a very small number, there were 658 in 2010 with no fatalities.

    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
