Really sorry to learn about this. If we are honest with ourselves, we have all "given it a little" when we should not have, so now is not the time to be teachers, but learners as most of us have been lucky not to have it all go wrong like this accident.

Lets work towards getting better driver facilities for reasonable costs so that we can all learn how to enjoy our rides in the appropriate environment.

Perhaps we can get a group and lobby (like a lot of ppl have for 15 year old imports) and get some support.

Perhaps this way we can demonstrate to the public, policeand government that we don't really want to street race and break the law, it's more like we don't have anywhere else to go regularly.

Lets make a positive response the the negative, knee jerk reactions that officials come up with.

Those of you in Sydney.... if you can, listen in to the "Talkback" shows on the radio as the Accident made Front page news on the Daily Telegraph. So id say it will be a HOT topic of discussion.

For those who didn't/haven't read it yet.......

How many more of these events is it going to take to force the government to abandon its revenue first approach to road safety and actually tackle road safety head on - with education. Im so sick of watching my speedo so carefully to avoid speeding because it takes my eyes off the road too much!!

So I'm not the only one that bitches about this. I know idiots that drive around my town absolutely shit faced and they all tell me you never get pulled over if you don't go over the speed limit. I watch some of the dumbest and dangerous driving happen right in front of cops and they aren't even looking. Failure to indicate, failure to give way, in wrong lanes at roundabouts, etc. But if they aren't speeding, they know they believe they are the worlds safest driver because this is what the so called road safety campaign has tought them to believe. I pass on average 6 to 10 speed traps a day yet I honestly can't remember the last time I was breath tested.

Ban low performance drivers, not high performance cars.

Anyway, it's all too late for this tragic event. I hope the friends and families of the victims can learn to get on with their lives as something like this often means years of heartache for them.

FCKKK....dis has really left me dazed and numb...its just so saddening to see and hear about something like this happening to someone so young....

This really makes me think now everytime i wana hve a squirt in my car. I lost my license 6months ago for speeding, and im glad i was pulled over by cops instead of being put into an ambulance n taken to the morgue..

deepest sympathy to the families, and let this lesson be learnt by all people, young and old, where its a high performance or a low performance vechile

Hi Guys,

Condolences to the familys involved. But this is bullshit we all get upset at the police cracking down and no wonder why that could have been anybodys daughter in that car and the ****head has killed her as well as his mate. Selfish act and one that in my books is just about the worse thing you can do to anybody its a meaningless act that even if he did make it wouldnt have gotten him anywhere.

I hope all you young ****heads who speed through streets understand now that it can and will happen to you regardless of what ****ing car your driving.

Here, Here! I agree totally, yes it is sad for the families involved, but I am glad that no other 'innocent' party (oncoming car etc....) got killed because this persons actions.

Flame me if you want for my comments, but if someone killed a family member of mine as a results of actions like this, I would be unstoppable in my response.

Please, everyone learn that even Michael Schumacher crashes and he drives cars F*cking FAST for a living...

      I don't know if you can disassemble the thing and put it backwards for different ramp rates. They're both "2 ways" or both "1.5 ways" because well, 2 ways and 1.5 ways are the same 'thing' I do not know for sure, but I believe the 38420-RSS15-B5 is the 1 way, and 38420-RSS20-B5 is the two way. In other words, I predict Nissan considers this: to be a 1.5 way. No idea what actually happens when it arrives/you disassemble it. It would be an excellent question to ask Nismo directly! I somehow doubt you will get an answer though, I feel you would be the first person to document what you encounter when you open the box and the internet would be grateful.

      Well - they have arrived.  And they are easy on the eye to put it mildly... These only have three bolts - but for a start there is a key that fits with vacuum like precision..  And as you can see by my ruler, the interface is large..   I listened to a podcast on HP Academy about Dan (KiwiCNC) and I'm more than comfortable he knows what he is doing. R35 Bearing assembly should arrive later today so can mock that up for a look. Can't wait to get these on and get some brake pressure logging too. IMG_3860.MP4

      I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?
