A man has died in hospital following a single-vehicle crash at Prestons over the weekend.

About 5am, Sunday 2 June 2013, a 21-year-old man was driving a Nissan Skyline east along the Camden Valley Way when he lost control.

The Nissan mounted the median strip and spun before hitting the gutter and crashing into a power pole.

The man, a provisional P1 driver from Prestons, was trapped inside his car with serious head and abdominal injuries.

He was rushed to Liverpool Hospital where he died last night (Monday 3 June 2013).

Police from Liverpool Local Area Command are continuing their investigations into the cause of the crash and will prepare a report for the information of the Coroner.

Anyone with information about this incident should call Liverpool Police via Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page: https://www1.police.nsw.gov.au/. Information you provide will be treated in the strictest of confidence. We remind people they should not report crime information via our Facebook and Twitter pages.

Rest In Peace - I hope it was no one from here. :(

What's your take on this sad matter?

This is a very sad bit of news indeed.

Please keep speculations to a minimum. The police and Current Affair do look on this site when news items of this nature occur. I would hate for speculative views to be reported as facts in the news with affiliation to SAU.

Thanks for your support and condolences to the family and friends.

Very sad, condolences to family and friends. Agree with Eric on no speculating - don't feed the journalists!

Age and experience has taught me that things can go pear shaped on the road VERY quickly no matter what you drive. Have had it happen to me, have seen it happen right in front of me and the laws of physics cannot be cheated. Always drive with a margin of safety on the road.

Current Affair do look on this site when news items...

Sorry - don't want to take away from the seriousness of the matter but it has to be said that ACA and News don't belong in the same sentence.

And also i don't really see the point in mentioning that he was driving a Nissan Skyline, and by doing so it takes away the real focus of the whole story and portray a negative image on the Skyline/GTR community. Like the car that he was driving really mattered in the fact that he crashed.

A young man died while behind the wheel and we should all take this as an example that once we get into the drivers seat (of any car) we have a responsibility not only to ourselves but to our family, friends and community to drive in a safe and responsible way.

Condolences to the family and friends of the young guy that lost his life.

FYP. You have no way of knowing how the incident occurred and that is EXACTLY the speculation that is the core issue. That is exactly why the Police and News put the type of car whenever it is a high performance vehicle. To get you to speculate and the public to view them as a danger.

We cannot force you to follow our requests, but by not doing so you risk further damage for the entire car enthusiast community.

We all wish well for the family and friends in this time of grief and express our sorry for the poor person that lost their life. This is the core message that needs to be the focus here.

Apologies - bad choice of words.

Filling gaps with assumptions where no information is provided.

Maybe re-editing will convey my points more clearly.

Or maybe I should just stop posting about this altogether.

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
