Hey Guys,

I got the call at 6am this morning, one of my cousins was killed in a car accident last night at around 11.30pm.

We dont have all the details yet but what I know is she was being driven home from a work christmas party and a drunk driver collided with them and killed her. The driver of the other car is in hospital with minor injuries.

Her son, 16 years of age has not had a dad since he was born and his mum was his life. Now he has nobody.

Please, everyone on SAU.. and everyone who reads this, dont drink and drive this holiday season. Its just much easier to catch a cab and not suffer the consequences of either dying, getting injured for the rest of your life.. or in this situation ruining lives of really nice people.

Condolences..

I've found it very hard without my dad around (died Nov. 21 2003, RIP dad..) and my mum and brother are all I have and am thankful for them..My feelings and those of my family reach out to you..

Poor fella, to have never known his dad and now his mum taken from him, near Christmas time too..The drunk bastard will now carry this on his conscience for the rest of his life, killing someone at such a time of year and leaving her only child behind..

Pentae, please seek some counselling for the poor 16-year old guy, or be there for him as his confidant or someone he can speak to, to empty his chest of his sorrows etc. I was suicidal when dad died, the things stopping me from going to the other side was the promise I had made while he was alive that I would take care of the family, and the school counsellors, my teachers, and my mum being there whenever I needed to talk..All in all, it will be a very hard time for this guy, so be there to help him through this pain :(

Merry Christmas, and please don't drink and drive this holiday season :(

That's horrible to hear. People that pay the ultimate sacrifices for someone else complete stupidity.

If you drink and drive, your not a bloody idiot, your a ****en idiot.

Now some poor kid has lost both his parents. Please think of other people's safety before you jump in a car. You might be willing to kill yourself, but others dont need to die.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.

      Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
