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..

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
