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

so theres one which SPLIT on the norwest as well?

... 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....

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
