P-plate driver caught doing 141kmh (From The Age)

December 29, 2004 - 12:41PM

A young P-plate driver was caught speeding near Newcastle at 141kph - 71kph over the speed limit - NSW Police said today.

About 8.30am (AEDT) yesterday, Lake Macquarie Highway Patrol officers detected a northbound Nissan Skyline travelling at 141kph on Charlestown Road, Kotara.

They issued the 21-year-old driver with a speeding ticket and suspended his licence for six months.

Last month, P-plate driver Emile Dousset, 20, died when he crashed a high-performance Nissan Skyline at speeds of up to 180kph on the central coast.

Also killed were his passengers Carl Homer, 33, and pregnant 15-year-old Natasha Schyf.

Last week engaged couple Robert Peov, 21, and Joanna Mourania, 20, died when their Nissan Skyline sports car hit a power pole at Milperra in Sydney's west.

The deaths prompted police to warn young drivers to slow down, while the NSW government is considering imposing restrictions on young drivers with high-performance cars in an attempt to reduce road deaths.

=========================================================

I'm loosing faith to owning a skyline now reading the above. Why does the media outline Nissan Skyline giving all of us a bad rep? I'm sure there are plenty of unreported accidents on the news with other cars but everytime it seem like a Nissan Skyline is the main attention now. What are all your thoughts?

methinks this was more than just a thread about the latest one

i hate it too. this morning, looking at an r32 gtst outside my house, our next door neighbour with my friend in the car left their driveway and drove past. my friend later told me that his mother mouthed off at the fact that we were looking at buying one of 'those skylines'... hmmm media is rubbing off on everyone

They need to leave the Hondas alone too :D

I don't drive like an idiot, but I've noticed I'm now tarred with the same brush as those that do. I don't cop much crap but I've noticed a lot of people (who looked to be the types that sit in front of ACA and TT going "yeah... that's right... damn hoons" every time a car drives across the screen) give me the evil eye.

I parked at the shops in Beenleigh the other day and an oldish guy wandered over.

Him: That's one of them Nee-san Skylines isn't it?

Me: Yep.

Him: They're dangerous, heaps of people die in them. I've seen it on the telly.

Me: Heaps of people die in Commodores too, are they dangerous?

Him: Nah, they're Australian made, they're built to last!

Me: Pfft, righto

I really didn't see the point in continuing the conversation any further, but I kept a close eye on my car :)

wtf... last? yer rite.

HAHAHAHAH!!! Made to last!! HAHAHAHHAA!!

Now if that old geezer didn't sound too 'red neck american' I dunno what does.

is it just skylines? i know the p platers in general are gaining bad publicity, and i hear about rex's do but i never hear about supras or soarers or 180's an 200's for that matter... maybe supras aren't as common as the rest but the others.....

Its all imports basically.

Drive an import and you are automatically labelled as a hoon

Drive an import and you will get harassed by cops

Drive an import and you are public enemy no 1

After all, it doesnt matter that crime is up by nearly 10 times in victoria(according to The Age) because the government would rather raise revenue through us instead of keeping the state safe

is that right?? 10X 's??? shit thats alot??

i'd believe it.. some ****er about 2 days ago tried to break into the R31.. and i've only been in the state a week! stuffed the lock and scratched around the door.. asshole

ahh..vic - the police state.. just great except they're all in the wrong areas.

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
