About the s15 crash on gympie rd.

thanx, i could have got killed tho as i was in the passenger seat when the stationwagon hit us head on. but yeah, luckily walked away with a sore leg. haha

All i can say i was there the whole time and it was the stupid shit in the s15's fault, he was trying to slide.. failed terribly... i have many pics of this accident pulled over for an hour or so spoke to the lady who was in the falcon etc...

your mate is a K N O B.

If your able to sell off any parts, let us know...

and if u havent told the insurance company about the change or mags/tyres... you might not then be convered under insurance as i'm sure you have to tell them about all changes made to the car.

that i'm not 100% sure but best to check up on that.

Some people have told me you have to, some said some things aren't compulsory to tell insurance companies such as headdecks, etc etc.

liam mate if your car is written off u will lose any parts u have put on it that are not on your insurance policy (not only to say not listing your mags or a sports exhaust or Bov etc etc can viod your insurance), You can buy the wreck back but whats the point of that by the looks of the pic's motor will be as good as a boat anchor :P & that only leaves other parts from it but ut will cost you, the normal procedure is for them to sell the wreck back to you @ the value of it if a wrecking yard was to buy it, I would be getting on the phone & start doing some checking....

i know what it looked like, but purely it was an accident. yes, he was spinning his wheels, but not on purpose as u drive in the rain in a RWD turbo charged car, u just can not put ur foot down, can u. as soon as i started yellin in the car( tellin him he was spinnin the wheels, he paniced and put his foot on the brake and thats y the car started lookin its sliding sideways. then everything happened. we told all we could to the police and of course it has to be his fault.

i do feel sorry for the ppl involved coz they did not do anything wrong at all. luckily the lady was al right. so were the others.

can u send me some pics of it as i did not take any at all. just pm me if u dont mind.

i wouldnt call him a knob coz he did not do any stupid shit on purpose. but definitely he needs to learn how to drive in the rain specially in a high power car.

dont blame the lady if she is upset. i would be myself. but it just happened as it is now.

yeah, that blue s15 was my car til i sold it to a mate of mine two weeks ago. i was in his car when it happened.

yeah, thats what happens when an inexperience driver drives a turbo RWD car in the rain.lost traction and lost control of the car. totally write off.

Your mate is the second inexperienced person (from nudgee i presume) that i know of to write off a blue S15 200sx in the wet. Thats gotta tell you something about that type of car and inexperienced drivers.

cant agree with u more. s15s ( or any silvias) can be really dangerous to drive specially in the wet if u dont know what u r doin. if u drive the way u would in the dry condition( exactly what he did) in the wet, u r gone. as simple as that.

thats y i sold it and gettin a GTR.

i fail to see how you find it hard to get traction in the wet. i can drive my s13 which is set up to drift in the wet and i can get traction no problems, i can drive it safely in the wet with no hassle.

my skyline has in the vicinity of 350rwhp and this too i have no problem driving in the wet,

if i wanted to i can make my mums 00 pulsar wheelspin madly in the wet and get the tail out round corners, does this make a pulsar a bad car and a powerful car that is hard to drive in the wet? no it does not.

Inexperience and immaturity is a recipe for disaster...

As a matter of fact it seems that many ex-private school mummies boys should in fact be driving mums 4wd instead of having mummy buy them a relatively expensive and overly powerful vehicle...

Belagrion to compare you mums pulsar to this situation is like comparing chalk with shit...please put some perspective into the situation, at the end of the day it comes down to experience and maturity...and if I did see you doing the above in ya mums car I would be the first to bag you out :lol:

I would love to see some of these people actually go to a track and see how inexperienced they are in a controlled environment...

Liam sorry to here about your car, but I have to say insurance companies can be a real pain the ar$e...

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
