Police on the state’s Central Coast are appealing for public help as they hunt a motorist who failed to stop after knocking down a woman at Terrigal.

The 34-year-old woman was struck by a dark-coloured vehicle - possibly a Nissan Skyline - at the intersection of Kurrawyba Avenue and Grosvenor Road, Terrigal, just before 12.30am on Sunday (13 February).

The driver of the vehicle left the scene without rendering assistance to the injured pedestrian.

Police from Brisbane Water Local Area Command and NSW Ambulance Paramedics responded to the incident.

The woman was taken to Gosford Hospital for treatment of a broken leg, broken shoulder, broken hand and facial injuries.

She remains in a stable condition.

Investigations into the incident are continuing and police are now seeking public assistance to try and identify the motorist and vehicle involved.

In particular they’re keen to hear from anyone who has seen or repaired a dark-coloured vehicle with damage consistent with it being involved in a collision.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Gosford Police Station via Crime Stoppers on
1800 333 000.

Like many petrol heads, the writers of FPH constantly click through page after page of listings on Ebay and dream about the possibilities.  Previous posts have shown things like crazily lusted after race homologations, rare European exotica, and high dollar custom builds.  Today, I decided to get back to my routes and looked for some (relatively) inexpensive Japanese performance.

2001Acura Integra Type R

Do you like high-revving, screamer motors bolted to a matching lightweight, agile chassis?

Here's a 2001 Acura Integra Type R with about 71,000 miles on the clock.  The owner seems to have taken good care of this limited edition car and it shows.  This is one of the cleanest examples the I've seen on Ebay and it's a low mileage car too.  All the modifications are performance oriented and are simple bolt-on affairs except for the MSD ignition.  The price seems to be a bit high considering Edmunds.com says it's worth about seven grand.  The low mileage, upgrades, and sentimental value are probably affecting the seller's pricing.  If you're as crazy as I was about these in highschool, the listing can be found here.

1996 Nissan Skyline GTR

Godzilla crossed the Pacific!

Yes, it's true.  There's a Skyline GTR on sale in America!  This is a '96 and is listed with a Buy It Now of $40,000.  That is very low for what these cars can fetch especially considering the extensive modifications.  Interior, exterior, and engine bay have all been modded in one way or another.  I am not a huge fan of buying pre-personalized cars because it doesn't reflect my personal tastes.  All the same, this car will make somebody's dream come true.  Check it out here.

The Nissan Skyline in Japanese is a line of compact cars originally produced by the Japanese carmaker Prince Motor Company starting in 1957 and subsequently by Nissan after the two companies merged in 1966. It is currently available in either coupé, or sedan body styles, with the wagon form being dropped in 1989 with the introduction of the R32 platform.
