Looking for a silver commodore possible p plate that crashed into my car at approx 3:00am tonight.
I heard him drift around the corner and crash into the car, He speed off with a train of coolant trail that i could follow because he drifted around the corners after and when he slows down spilled more fluid.
His radiator fluid is f**ked spilling fluid everywhere down the street.
If you see a silver commodore in the campbelltown area that looks like they had a very heavy accident
pm me. Anyone who works smash repair in campbelltown area keep and eye out
(I know chances are slim on here but if you live in campbelltown keep and eye out)
cheers

If you're in a dead end street, are there any CCTVs at local shops or neighbours?

No cameras in my area. i know where he was coming from because i can see skid marks but unfortunately no one with cameras out side of their house.

No shops nearby. Trail ended, did not find the car. So unfortunately he got away.

He hit my mums car, absolutely destroyed undrivable but it span it 90 degrees and my car has front bumper pushed down/ paint. so i was lucky. mums car wasn't

He had a old commodore and hit pretty hard so hopefully he hurt himself with no airbags. He reversed out instantly after impact.

He's radiator would have been f**ked from the amount of coolant on the road. He had been driving it hard before so the car was prob all ready hot and then he drove it hard to get away. so he got pretty lucky getting away with it.

I don't know how he got away, one lucky sob if you ask me,

The bang was loud enough to wake up most the people in my street. So a couple of different people got a glance of it. But they all just woke up so no number plates because he was gone to fast. one guy said dark silver around 2003 commodore. pretty common car so very slim chances of finding him.

Either stolen or bought cheap, flogged without plates on it (no rego)
My mum claimed because her car is f**ked with wheel axle bent (maybe written off) but my excess is so much i'll just fix it myself
Cheers guys :)

Ouch, its the same around here, idiots leaving the pub, lots of V6 and V8 skids, happily the gutters have lots of alloy covering them from wheels making contact with them.

Over the last year at least 1/2 dozen idiots have put themselves on the foot path, luckily no one has been killed by the idiots.

All I can say is don't park on the street if possible.

take photos of everything & file a report to the police. You never know.

What a kunt, I can hear bogans doing burnouts & skids in the backstreets down near my house sometimes, absolute f**kwits

I rang the police as soon as it happened

Yeah, save up your centerlink money and go to a f**king track if you're shit.

Yeah skid marks everywhere around my area. It looks like a formula drift track.

We parked off the street in our drive way but still he managed to wipe out our car because he has no skill.

    • Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!
    • And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.
    • I have an R32 Fenix rad. It is good.
    • All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents   
    • Been a busy but productive day. Axle and hubs acquired. All fitted up after a bit of modifying. Need to sort out wider mudguards and running light reflector covers but other than that the trailer is gooood to go !!
