Picked up the paper and the byline screamed, “Police seek white Skyline driver”.

OK a Skyline driver did something silly, but how often do we read, “Police seek naturally aspirated V6 Commodore driver”?

Never.

Something about the Skyline name conjures up images of fast/furious smoking tyres and in most of those cases it will be some dunger Commodore or a rusted-out S chassis.

The local rag must have mentioned “white Skyline” at least 4-times in the report while the main story of a “B” double car transporter roll-over read more like an ad for Claytons Towing.

I was surprised the usual "high powered turbo Nissan Skyline" wasn't quoted. Have to wonder if any of these scribblers have ever been for a drive in a stock Rb, it's not all that exhilarating.

Got to love integrity in journalism, oxymoron anyone??

Fact: NA V6 Commodores are the fastest ever man-made object. All people ever see is a blur, so they cannot be identified when involved in criminal activity. :P

I guess it's much the same as any article about a road incident involving a person under the age of 25 classifying them as a "hoon", or "boy racer" in NZ.

    • What Duncan said sounds right. Also, it looks like they only have the driver's mat. Not the rest. Because looking at the diagram: KG4911 is just the mat for the driver. KG4900 is the full set if I'm not mistaken and discontinued.   But, it looks like they may still have the full set for the manual S2. Might be worth checking for the other models as well as they seem slightly different. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/misc/G49 Man, I'm tempted.
    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
