hi guys

well after driving my missus home at 1am last night and cruising back towards the city, there were 4 series 1-2 skylines on the 3 lanes. that was almost like a mini skyline cruise :) . but as we were approaching caufield railway underpass, we saw an accident (city outbound) where there was about 5-6cars stopped (dont know how many was involved) but one of them was a white skyline in the middle median 180degree turned around.

that was such a pitiful sight too see especially when a skyline is involved (and others alike).

well what i would like to say is that i use that road almost every night and have seen some major fatal accidents there. you simply cannot see anything until deep into the apex by when its too late to hit the brakes and thats not inlcuding other drivers and the concrete barrier and light poles.

not to say im a wuss or anything but please, if you do want you 30secs of rush and go dragging, avoid that section as it is very dangerous and if the barriers/poles dont catch you, the coppers will since they are there very often.

lastly, does the other liners go on here? you know who u are, there was 3 of us side by side on an empty stretch of road.

I saw it too, white R33 [looked like a SII] and the other car was a Red Civic up on the median strip next to it - it didnt surprise me, but I was *annoyed* for the rest of us that dont act like that. I didnt see much damage, lucky for them, but its only a matter of time if you ask me. High powered rear wheel drive cars + wet roads + inexperienced drivers or hoons don't mix!

2 other cars were pulled up in the left lane with hazards on - but still should not have been there - its basically a 24 hour clearway unofficially [no parking / standing]. One was an AE86 corolla and dont recall the other car but I guess they were cruising together...

A timely reminder to watch your speed in the wet!

To be fair, it is possible that they weren't going all that fast but I didnt see it happen so...?

is that the S bend? cos a few weeks ago a evo 5 hit the wall doing 100km, marks and paint is still on the wall coming back from the asian umm pool joint. that was a shame to see..

Yes, the S bend.

I don't get what is so hard about THAT S bend - I actually enjoy driving through it, always have, always will [careful when wet of course]. I don't actually understand why so many people have accidents there - I am guessing it is mainly "inexperienced driver" based. Good thing the cops are there then - usually a booze bus but often TOG cars too.

How can an Evo 5 stack if i can go around there at a *legal*cough* 70km/h ?

And i have a boat, and it has much more advanced handling than i?

That corner is great, but i agree you gotta know it... to some extent though. Why would you approach a corner fast if you didnt know it?

Stupidy comes to mind here heheh!

I aint had the car slide, had a fair bit of a squeal though at times, all within the limits of course.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
