FFS, how the hell do you rip a car in half? I know a lot of you will say "this isn't the place to say all this" but come on really. How bloody fast were they going??? Stupidity will always end up like this and untill people like the driver realise that this sort of trash will keep on happening, I feel sorry for the passengers family! If your goign to drive that on open roads like that and it's ends up in a major stack thenl so be it, no one to blame but himself. I'm sick to death of reading this sh|t....

This is not meant to be offencive to the guy that was driving but FFS after everything that has happened in the past 1-2months, he should have thought and re-thought what he was about to do.

I want everyone who is tempted to drive like a dick in the future to remember this thread, when your at a set of lights and some tool next to you is egging you on, it takes more a man and a better person to ignore them.

If your going to drive like a dick and you have no self control and feel the need to prove yourself.... DO IT BY YOURSELF!

I getting more sick and tired of hearing that there are passengers in the car when they crash.... so in this instence, my thoughts go out to the female who innocently passed away and the injured man in hospital.... as for the driver, you paid the ultimate price Im sorry to hear that.

This may seem harsh to some people ....... I don't care, I have had it.

respects to the families and the passenger.

WHAT do people think driving a car is a game and your invincible yeah well its not a game and if you do the wrong thing and **** up you will die. Not to mention that its wrecking peoples lives and making it very hard for every other p plate driver out there especially the ones that folllow the rules.

i don't give a **** if i get flamed because donig stupid speeds is one thing but on suburban streets its ridicolus i guess some people in this world have no ****ing brain.

WARNING- broken record time again....

IMHO, if you are a pasenger in a car doing excessive speeds or driving dangerously you have a responsibility to either get the driver to stop (by telling them what a tool they are) or get out. Otherwise, you also have to accept the possible consequences of this driver's actions.

There's already laws meant to stop this type of behaviour- they're called the laws against speeding. The only way I think we'll really change people's attitude towards these rules is with better and more realistic education around the consequences of speed for drivers and passengers, and ultimately peer pressure.

IMHO, if you are a passenger in a car doing excessive speeds or driving dangerously you have a responsibility to either get the driver to stop or get out.

I have jumped from a moving car before, due to the fact that the driver refused to stop when asked.

I would NOT recommend that anyone try this, especially if the car is moving at anything over 3kph.

It's not about passenger responsibility.

The passenger is not in control of the car.

My condolances to their friends & families. Hope the brother pulls through. Its going to be a difficult holiday season for the families

I used to pass this guy on Canterbury Rd occasionally on the way to & from work. Never seemed to be driving like a dick. The crash scene is about 200m from my work. Not a pleasent site to drive by.

Be careful people...

It's a personal call ultimately but I've made someone stop and ended up walking a couple of kay home.

I'd be doing anything to avoid ending up like these poor passengers.

    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
    • The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.
    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
