Police would not confirm reports the cars were drag racing.

this is what bugs me the most...

a car torn to bits and in 2 pieces or whatever.... it may not be obvious that they were drag

racing, but its obvious they were speeding well over the limit for that to happen.

throw in a nissan - and its instantly a drag... that said - you cant really blame the media either.

last night on the way back into the city from the southside, a white 33 gtst with stripes

plates 411 H** tried to go me - absolute d!ckhead!! kept his eyes on me, and not

on the road and constantly rev'd the car...

kept driving and he eventually got the picture...

Thank god no one but those in the cars were hurt and/or killed.

But please think of the real victims, those of the family who have suddenly lost someone who made a silly mistake and now will never be able to see again.

Yes it was stupid and no I will not be hypocritical and say that I have never done this sort of thing, but still no one deserves to lose thier life. This will certainly make me think next time my brain decides to do something stupid, which is become less of an occurance with each one of these reports.

But still my condolances to the freinds and family of those who have lost someone definatly before their time should have been due.

its sad to hear...i was told that the brakes screeched for about 5secs before impact.

Brakes or tyres after brakes locked up? So what happened exactly - if the two cars were dragging then how did they collide with such force, presumably they would have been side by side or something?

Sad, but happens too often...

Dickheads with something to prove...

I think we need a Skyline Oath, not to drag on the streets and those that try, post them up on a Sticky as the dickheads that they are..then they might get the picture.

You wanna race take it o Willowbank....

Cause drag racing on the street is like competing in the special olympics if you get my drift...

yea but I mean by the same token things like...."skids" and other "shenanigans" that occur can be just as dangerous...I think street racing has the worst rep but I must say mountain runs and some drifting activity that occurs is pretty unsafe as well....ppl get seriously hurt doing that as well...it just doesnt get the same critisism or publicity that street racing does.

I think ALL of it should be off the street...

traffic light drags burnouts in public whatever, take it home...hell the only skids I used to do were in my own street (the bastards re-surfaced last year so they are finally gone after 5 years...)

Its all about common sense, the sad thing is it is not that common.

As for mountain runs, well if it is a hill climb event fine, if its at night with inexperienced drivers trying to prove something then I have a problem.

I don't have a problem with the 0-60 traffic light jokes I pull on people, its when you start speeding its stupid...nothing like reving a wanker in an excel up at the lights only to watch them keep going...I shouldn't do it I know...but hey they are the ones breaking the law!!

i reckon the oath is a good idea.........

i also reckon that the fines incured on 'hooning' should go to funding speedway facilites..........that would hopefully prevent these things...........though that would be in an ideal world.

any draft ideas for the oath? i'll start with the first rule.........

Rule one: No Poofters.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
