3 people die on central coast - R34 GTR ripped in half


Recommended Posts

Young driver had crashed his own car

November 26, 2004

P-PLATE death driver Emile Dousset had already been in an accident in his own Nissan Skyline GT-R R33 before the smash that claimed his life and his two friends.

Mourners visiting the crash site yesterday said no one had been seriously injured in the earlier crash.

"I didn't know him well but I know for a fact he had already crashed his own R33 about six months ago," Stephen Deas said.

"It is just really sad, especially knowing that he had been in an accident before in such a similar car."

Emile's father Graeme has already revealed his son did not have permission to drive his father's higher-grade model Nissan Skyline GT-R R34.

That car was named best GTR in NSW at a Nissan Skyline show on the Central Coast earlier this year.

Second placegetter, GTR-R R33 owner Trent Stibbard, said the cars themselves were safe, and had the suspension and top-class brakes to support their big engine.

"It's more dangerous to drive around in those hotted-up, four-cylinder Mitsubishi Mirages that don't have the equipment to deal with such power," Mr Stibbard said.

Meanwhile, the mother of an 18-year-old P-plate driver said she wasn't able to send her son to a driving course because they were not provided at Beechwood, near Port Macquarie.

The woman said her son Daniel had driven his $26,000 Nissan 180 SX for little over a week before was in an accident. While he was unharmed, Mrs Shipley believes he will end up like Mr Dousset unless he receives some training.

"They have the cars but they don't have the experience and I'm just scared that Daniel's small crash could be followed by a much bigger one," said Mrs Shipley, who has written to Mr Scully with her concerns.

can anyone confirm these details?

seems there is a WRX crash now.... what's going on??????????????????????????????????????????????

as terrible as this all is, w h a t t h e f * c k is a 33 yr old guy doing with a 15 yr old girl??? Who is pregnant???????????????? Or was the 15 yr old girl the g/f of the 20 yr old driver?? Either way, you already have BIG problems right there, regardless of the crash..

anyways, add this to the kids that died in their skyline in Melbourne a month back, this R34 crash, the WRX on today, plus others this year..... there is something seriously wrong....... -

My Sympathies to these families and relatives

It's such a waste to have one of Australia's finest Skylines ripped in half.

R.I.P. EVLR34

Condolences.

This is probably the 1 area that i think the victorian police are right about. In victoria we have a 125kW/tonne power restriction whilst on your P's (first 3 years of your licence).

You do enough stupid things when you have just started driving, you dont need the added danger of having a super powerful car. And you can still have a lot of fun in a car under that limit.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
