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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
