Hey all, Just wondering if anyone heard about the accident on the Clyde on monday? Heard second hand that a truck lost their brakes and cleaned up a skyline coming up the opposite direction..... Really hope it wasn't anyone on SAU (shame it happened to anyone at all though), cos apparently the guys legs looked like they couldn't be saved... total write off.

My condolences if anyone knew them.

ok... your all wrong...

I was coming back from the coast on Monday and this is what happened... (get comfy)

round 10:30 - 11am a truck that was coming down the clyde, further down the hill from the Steeper bits... came to fast around one of the corners (if anyone knows much about the coast road..its the long hill with the overtaking lane all the way up it...) which happened to be wet.. and took out a 4X4 which then also took out another 4X4 with a caravan attached which then a Camry then came and took them out. Im pretty sure thats the order.. Not much left of the camry... saw 1 4X4 with the caravan... it wasnt too bad, but now its towing a pile of sh!t behind it which some people say was a caravan.. and not sure about the other 4X4..

oh and the truck... lil smashed at the front, with a massive toe out on the drivers wheel.

The road was closed from 11am til 6pm that night..

There you have it... no skylines involved. Thank god. but, sadly enough there were 3 other cars involved.

Not sure what happened to drivers or passangers, but 1 4X4 driver was Helicoptered to hospital straight away after being cut out

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.

      What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.

      Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
