Drag racing theory after fatal crash

October 5, 2004

DRAG racing may have been a factor in an early morning Melbourne crash in which an 18-year-old man died.

Sergeant Ron Perrett, of the Major Collision Investigation Unit, today said two cars, a Nissan Skyline and a Honda, were travelling side by side along Dandenong Road at St Kilda when the Skyline struck a power pole shortly after 1am (AEST) today.

The dead man was a back-seat passenger in the Skyline.

Another person in the back seat was critically injured, and two other men in the Skyline were hurt. They were taken to The Alfred hospital.

"We're trying to sort out the reasons why they were travelling together, but we'd be appealing for any witnesses who may have seen either of these vehicles travelling along Dandenong Road or in the Windsor area about one o'clock this morning," Sgt Perrett said on radio station 3AW.

The driver of the Honda stopped at the accident scene and had been "very helpful to police", Sgt Perrett said.

The stretch of Dandenong Road where the accident occurred, west of Chapel Street, passed through a cutting under St Kilda Junction and "certainly has a history of cars using this section of road for racing", Sgt Perrett said.

Police believe all those involved in the crash were in their late teens or early 20s.

The inbound lanes of Dandenong Road were blocked after the accident, but reopened shortly after 7am (AEST).

The death took Victoria's road toll to 270, 18 more than at the same time last year.

I hope no one here was involved.

Condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.

The radio has just said that a second person has died.

Condolences but limited sympathy. Let this be a lesson to everyone. Don't race on the street. Take it to the track.

BASS OUT

I have just left Vic Police Head quarters (as I work for State of Govt) and I just spoke to my mate from head quarters operations and they are preparing a memo for all mobile units to book all P platers with 'illegal' cars. Just be really careful driving over the next few days if you have a turbo and a red P plate in the window! I'll see if I can get more details later in the day. Kepp you posted

Two young men were killed in an apparent street drag racing accident in St Kilda overnight.

The accident occurred about 1.05am when a Nissan Skyline hit a power pole while travelling west along Dandenong Road.

An 18-year-old back-seat passenger in the Skyline died at the scene while another back-seat passenger in his late teens was taken to The Alfred Hospital but has since died. Their names have not yet been released.

The Skyline was travelling side-by-side with a silver Honda at the time of the accident. The driver of the Honda stopped at the scene to assist police with their inquires.

Sergeant Ron Perrett of the Major Collision Investigation Unit said the cause of the accident was still to be confirmed but said the stretch of Dandenong Road where it occurred passes through a cutting under St Kilda Junction and "certainly has a history of cars using this section of road for racing".

"We're trying to sort out the reasons why they were travelling together but we'd be appealing for any witnesses who may have seen either of these vehicles travelling along Dandenong Road or in the Windsor area about one o'clock this morning," Sergeant Perrett told Melbourne radio.

Ambulance spokesman Matt Dowling said another occupant of the Skyline had been taken to The Alfred with a suspected broken collarbone but was in a stable condition. It is not known whether the driver was injured in the accident.

The inbound lanes of Dandenong Road were blocked after the accident but reopened for traffic shortly after 7am.

The death took Victoria's road toll to 271, 19 more than at the same time last year.

Police urge anybody with information about the accident to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
