:rofl: This is great. I am not sure of the fully story, but apparently some young guy was being followed by an undercover TMU car, driving like a knob, and then apparently mounted the curb, hit another car and did a bit of a launch into the dealership.

Can somebody provide a full link to the news story?

He is 23 and was doing 160 kph and lost it when someone pulled out infront of him. I think he will be (effecively) working for an insurance company for a long while to come to pay off the damage costs.

spot the holden driver in this thread :P
LOL, if you think HSV's are slow, you should wake up.

Typical comment from a skyline driver i guess.

Think skylines are the fasteset thing around

LOL......the truth hurts doesn't it?

lol,

Nah i just think you are ignorant and have no idea if you think a HSV is that slow compared to a gtst with a fully sick pod filter sucking hot air. (Almost all i see)

:P

Firstly am I ignorant, or are you afraid of the truth? :P

Let's talk top of the range. HSV is Holden's top of the range vehicle. GTR is Nissan's top of the range vehicle. Stock on Stock any GTR will beat any HSV. That's a fact.

....oh yeah and most GTST's with a frontmount intercooler running a bit of extra boost will put most HSV's away....hardly anyone these days with a turbo skyline fits it with JUST a pod.

Apparently he's going to be screwed, and rightly so, the police took him away within 15 minutes.

He was swerving erratically through traffic before that happened.

The HSVs have got the LS2 don't they? 6.0L V8 297 kw?

Don't they get the LS6 soon? The 7.0l V8? Strange thing about that one is it revs to 7K on the Corvette.

Wow thats some crazy damage! I'm amazed its not all over the media.. i guess it doesnt make for an interesting story when theres any kind of locally delivered car involved.

Could the bickering between holden and nissan owners please cease. We all know that the GTR is superior to any HSV, just drop it.

Ali: You sure your a GTR owner, if it is somehow true, could you please sell it and buy a HSV? Thanks.

Someone mentioned he was test driving the car. Assuming it is correct, what are your responsibilities when taking one for a spin?

i.e. Are you fully liable for any damage you may inflict? Is the dealer who handed you the keys have any responsibility?

Surely demonstartion vehicles must have to have some sort of cover?

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
