I agree with hicks ay, I dont think its age, it all comes down to road awareness and common sense, like I've only had my license for just over a year but I've had my license long enough to know I can drive better than like 75% of people on the road, most people just dont have a clue when it comes to driving ay

dont mean to brag or nuttin but thats just tha way I see it, I know when to be careful on the road or when theres an opportunity to have a bit of a thrash but yeah it comes down to being sensible and knowing the limits of ure car

I don't think it would be age...but I can't really say seeing as I'm the youngest here but I think its all to do with the attitude of the driver.

Anyone see that story Today Tonight ran about young people in high performance cars? They had 3 blokes with an S14, modded WRX and GTR. It sorta proves what phat25t said...."it comes down to being sensible and knowing the limits of ure car"

I've got a link to the story if anyone is interested.

i agree there aswell, some have more roadsense than others which can keep them out of trouble, but that doesnt mean they can handle a scary situation.

You may think your a good driver but when it comes down to it, most people panic and lock it up.

I use to be like everyone else thinking I was a top notch driver, doing this and doing and getting away with it, but when it comes down to the crunch in a scary situation this wasn't the case.

I try to race at MC +max action every month now to help improve my driving..

BTW, everyone get your asses into gear and race at the PRO-MAX challenge.. get some skylines in there and show everyone what they and YOU can do.. panzy's :D

I partially agree with the comments regarding age where there is more chance of them losing control but attitude has the most to do with it. There are some older d#ckheads out there who couldn't drive a shopping trolley.

Makes me jealous though the age of some of you guys having Skylines as I am 34 and only just got one. Started out with a Ford Escort then a Corolla !!! Sports and performance cars were only but dreams in the mid 80's.

Good to see some of you though are 25 plus - doesn't make me feel so bad being so old

I don't think age has a lot to do with it. Don't get me wrong, a fresh P plater is obviously more likely to crash, but I don't think you can say a 20 year old is a worse driver compared to a 30 year old, just because the 30 year old has had more driving time under his belt. I think you can drive or you can't. And as far as i've seen, on all the cruises, most people here seem to handle there car pretty nicely.

My 2c.

Although most of the youngies here would argued that age does not matter, and it comes down to the driver's ability and common sense.

Well having turn 30 recently I have to disagree :D. In general, young male driver between 18-25 age group have the highest fatality rate of all age groups. Why is it that insurance company won't insure people less than 25 yr old, and if they do, the premium is so high ??

I think at this age people tend to take MORE risk and coupled with the inexperience driver behind a high powered car you’ve got a nasty combination. I don’t know why people tend to take more risk at this age, and mellowed out when they get older, perhaps because the testosterone stop flowing as you get older, or perhaps losing your hair stops you from going out and impressing the ladies or perhaps you just realized you're just a human being and accepted your own frailty..

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
