Man trapped under car in crash

tradesman has been seriously injured after he was pinned under a car driven by an alleged hoon, which spun out of control on a suburban street in Melbourne's north west.

The victim, in his forties, was building a fence at the Rokewood Crescent home, in Meadow Heights, when a p-plate driver lost control.

The Nissan Skyline mounted the footpath and slammed into the man, pinning him between the car and a truck parked on the driveway.

Emergency crews spent 45 minutes working to free the man in a delicate rescue operation.

Witnesses have told 7News the driver was performing burnouts and speeding along the road before losing control of the car.

Sergeant Dean Pickering said the 19-year-old p-plater was breaking the law simply by getting behind the wheel.

"It's a high-powered car. It's a car that's banned for probationary drivers. It's a fast car and there's no doubt in the world, it's not appropriate for somebody that's still learning to drive," he said.

Sgt Pickering said police had received complaints about a car being driven erratically in the area before the crash.

"At about that time, we've had reports of a Nissan Skyline being driven fairly erratically through the area.

"You can see what's happened...the car has mounted the footpath, has ended up through the front of this house, has hit the fence where this fellow was working. Unfortunately, he's been embedded under the car."

The victim was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital in a serious condition suffering from pelvic and spinal injuries.

Sgt Pickering slammed the stupidity of the driver, saying this type of behaviour is 'frustrating' and puts lives at risk.

"This is the sort of stuff that's really frustrating for us. It's not an accident, it's someone's behaviour that has caused something like this to happen," he said.

The 19-year-old driver, who escaped unharmed, is in police custody.

That's true Odium, just thought it was good to see the driver being portrayed as the one at fault, rather than the car... "It's a fast car and there's no doubt in the world, it's not appropriate for somebody that's still learning to drive.."

How much you want to bet it was some lebo as well. WTF is wrong with that side of town, seriously all full of f**kwits. So glad I don't own a skyline anymore :domokun:

I hardly see lebo's/wogs etc in these cars anymore, they all moved on to BMW 3 series with the hectic leather for the ladies, or VZ SV6 lol.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
