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.

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.

I will list the parts I have / the parts I will be buying. I will be redoing this guide after I have completed the conversion. Parts list: - 3576 turbo 0.82 v-band (coolant and oil)  - v-band top mount turbo manifold - 50mm wastegate - manifold copper gasket - titanium manifold stud kit - turbosmart 3 port boost solenoid - link can lambda kit (wideband) - link ECU - radium 12AN push in valve cover fittings (pair) - hi octane catch can - 3.5inch downpipe - screamer pipe - pipe from turbo to intercooler - intake pipe setup - power steering relocation kit - oil drain block off plate - coolant and oil lines Now onto the step by step guide (please add / correct me if there's anything I missed: 1. remove fluids, twin turbo pipes, pod filters and afm's 2. remove the factory coolant hardlines from the hot side. 3. remove heat shields  4. remove the downpipe 5. remove turbos and manifolds 6. remove factory manifold studs 7. clean whatever mess you have made 8. install power steering relocation kit 9. install new manifold studs 10. install new turbo manifold with gasket 11. install new wastegate with screamer pipe 12. install new turbo  13. install new coolant and oil lines  14. install rear oil drain block off plate 15. stop and appreciate that you now have a single turbo in your GTR 16. wipe away tears of joy and install downpipe 17. install the wideband sensor into downpipe 18.install pipe to connect turbo to intercooler 19 .remove stock boost solenoid  20. install new boost solenoid 21.  install intake setup 22. setup the rest of the can lambda kit with the ecu  23. refill fluids and hope for the best 24. ask forums for help with issues 25. fix issues 26. drive your single turbo swapped r32 GTR into the sunset. Doneeeeeeeeeee. Now I know this isn't detailed at all but I will be doing that when the conversion is done.

    • I have wasted too much time on this, more than I am willing to admit. I hope someone can set the record straight for me.  I want to replace my Nismo (non GT pro, non GT) standard 2 way in my R33 GTST with a 1.5 way... Ideally I want to get an ATS 1.5 way Carbon LSD, but I don't want to reuse my 29 spline 5x1 axle stubs, and new 30 spline 5x1's are impossible to get a hold of ($$$), and I don't want to drop the cash on going to 6x1 stubs and axles ATM. Which leads me to the Nismo GT Pro 38420-RSS15-B5 or RSS20, as they come with new axle stubs meant for the diff, and is "Convertible" from a 2 way or 1.5 way to "Other ways", but that is where I am stuck as the documentation is a bit all over the place.  To sum up what I have found I believe the all the Nismo GT Pro PN's are convertible from 2 way, 1.5 way, and 1 way; but Nismo sells 2 skus (2 & 1.5) so people do not have to disassemble to convert it.  I found this thread on 350z but it left the question unanswered. https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-drivetrain/620032-nismo-gt-pro-lsd-1-5-vs-2-way-and-torque.html  Essentially the way I think it all works out is like follows...  2 way  1 way  and 1.5 way would be the center pinion shaft in the 1 way block, but with the with the center flipped 180*. So the ramped side of the pinion would face the 1 way gate and act like a ramp.    I can only get my hands on the 2 way in the states, and I am not trying to get stuffed on tariffs by ordering from Japan or anywhere else. I want to confirm that if I get the 2 way I can convert it to the 1.5.     
    • Hi everyone, I have purchased my first GTR and I want to do a single turbo conversion to it. I've been doing as much research as i can and there are a few things that I can find and need to know. I need to run a coolant feed, coolant return, oil feed and oil return for my turbo setup. Here's what I know so far: On the hot side of the rb26 there is coolant feed, oil feed and oil return. Coolant return will be going around the front of the engine to where the thermostat is located. I will need to block off the rear oil return port. I will be running a turbosmart boost solenoid so any of the factory boost stuff wont be needed. Now onto what I don't know: 1. What do I do with the coolant / vacuum hardlines that run around the back of the motor?. 2. What do I block off or loop or move or remove?. I will be running the OEM intake manifold. 3. Is there anything in particular I need to buy for the cold side of the rb26?. I already have the intercooler and pipes sorted. If you have any pictures or information it would be appreciated. Thanks....  
    • 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.
