Was driving along norwest boulevard near castle hill and saw a older rex on its roof and the front of it was 10m away in the median strip. The fire and ambos were at the car im guessing trying to pull someone out. This reminds me of the EVLR34 accident earlier this week. The car was farked in half easily hope any one involved gets out ok but unlikely by the looks of things. Car is still there at the moment

... 2 rexies down in the last 48 hrs?

you would think ppl would learn after recent incidents

before you know it, the government will ban all p platers/young drivers from driving..

not flaming but its very annoying at the things ppl do in the face of current events and yes, i am a p plater

This is unfortunately becoming an all too common occurance, especially given the tragic accident with EVLR34 earlier this week.

Without knowing the circumstances of the accident, I still hope that all drivers (young hoons in particular) learn something about the events of the last few days and realise that they're not untouchable in the confines of their cars and adjust their attitude to driving accordingly. Given the antics of a few P platers that I saw on the way to work this morning, I won't hold my breath for this to happen though...

Glad to hear that the occupants weren't seriously injured in this accident...at least as far as I'm aware in any case.

Shi*, I live just around the corner from here.... About 11:30 last night I heard a helicopter and went outside to have a look it was hovering right above norwest and I was thinking I wonder what has happened.... now I know.

That looks horrific...

I may be generalising that this person was not driving safely, but by the looks of the car and mess it made - they weren't.

Is that Norwest Blvd? If it is it was bound to happen sooner or later... :P

Some local's might remember the days when Norwest Blvd was brand new, and virtually no cars were on there....Back then the roundabouts on that road to me were a "challenge"....stupid hey. ;)

sure is, looks like it happened just outside the petrol station/carwash...

There are always people speeding down norwest and seeing how fast they can go through the roundabouts... I can't tell you how many times a car has tried to race me down that road!!!

The driver is apparently 30 years old and made it to hospital what happened after that I don't know....

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.

      I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>

      I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.

      I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.
