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)

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
