shit... just read about this on the 31 club forums.

my condelences to the family and friends of all involved, especially to those of the man that died,

no-one should have to pay such a high price for such a stupid mistake.

hope you have a speedy recovery drew.

i also hope this doesnt get turned into another anti import smear campaign.

hey Guys,

I'm sure we have all heard about the terrible events that took place today involving Drew and another three people. I just hope that Drew and the others involved make a speedy recovery, and my regards with the family of the driver of the green festiva. As i was in the car right behind Drew and seeing it first hand i hope we think about the ones we love and how in an instant it can all be gone, and hope we all take more care on the roads because we certainly dont wont anything like this happing again.

Hopefully everyone can make the effort to go see Drew sometime during the week, as he would if it was someone else in his situation.

All the best drew and the other people involved hope you all get well soon.

And to the driver of the green festiva may u Rest In Peace, and god be with you.

yeah word spreds fast especialy when talking about such a bad thing.

after the crash happened all the skylines parked and we all ran down to the crash. Everyone was trying to help everyone. I cant believe how good ppl work together in such a bad situation.

I want to thank everyone for caring so much.

RIP

yeah it was truly a miracle no other cars were involved, given there were around 10 cars in the vacinity all doing around 100km/h! As Chops said, it was very lucky that people were being sensible and leaving long following distances between cars (which hasn't always happened on previous cruises).

My condolences to Tony's family. May he RIP.

I will try to find out more about Drew's condition tomorrow, and will let you all know. Please pray for and think of him in his (and his family's) time of need.

Did anyone see him out of the car? I take it he didn't need to be cut out too much? I hope he didn't have broken ankles/feet, or bad cuts etc ... any info?

hey,

Yeah i saw drew get taken away, he got put on a stetcher and put into the helicopter.

The whole roof of the r33 had to be cut off to get him out. his head was a little messed up, lots of broozing around his eyes and he had a blood nose and a pretty badly cut lip. i am pretty sure he didnt have any broken legs or ny thing. i was looking after him before the amobo's came and all he wanted to do is make more room so he could move around. he had full movment of both his legs. and when i asked him where he had pain he said only his head.

he was able to talk to me fine when he came in and out of consioness.

a true hero.

awesome, I am very hard to hear that! I have been worrying about his legs all day.

It is true testament to how strong and safe Skylines are. The motor was easily pushing against the firewall, and the radiator etc was well and truly mashed into a lump of metal with the motor. I feared he was significantly trapped, the way the car was damaged. Hopefully his injuries are not serious at all. Yeah his face was a bit banged up when I was trying to talk with him (he had no idea where he was at that stage), but not too bad. The airbag definitely saved him a lot more pain. Let's hope it is a very speedy recovery for him.

Thank god! We have been worried about his legs all evening! last we saw was him being pulled from the wreckage after the roof was pulled off. all i can say is thank god it wasnt worse. lets hope there's no perminent damage and his recovery is swift! our thoughts are with him.

let us know where he is so we can go visit...

-johnn&sarah

The only thing i saw wrong with his legs was a cut in his pants and a little graze.

I could be wrong he was fair out of it when i was talking to him but they seemed pretty damn good.

i cant stop thinking about when i was talking to him he lifted his head and asked me where he was. he was so confussed.

thats good news to hear about drew.......... pity was on his first skyline cruise.....

is any one organising to see him in hosiptal........ i am keen to see how he is doing and my heart goes out to troy's family at this great time of tragedy....

prayers and thoughts to all those involved..... well done to the guys at the scene for all the effort they put in... pats on the back all round

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
