hi guys just thought i would share this with u guys.

This morning i got a call from a really close friend of mine. She was crying and studdering to speak so i kept on saying whats wrong. Well turns out that early in the morning (today 01.11.08) a friend of mine which is my friends best friend had gotton into a serious care accident.

coming home from clubbing the driver was apparently intoxicated, he was driving a friends r32 gtr (silver) and mustve been going pretty fast cause apparently lost control and hit into a tree somewhere around there.

There was 4 people in the care, 3 boys and 1 girl. the 3 guys were knocked out and got sent into hospital and the girl died instantly still stuck in the car. ended up chopping the rooof off. a very nice girl that jsut finished all her assignments at uni and achieved 90%+ and just wanted to reward herself for her hard work before her exams, yet her parents kept on saying stay home and just study, yet she insisted on going out.

I just thought i would share this with u guys because no matter how well u think a gtr can handle around a corner please just drive safe or not even drive at all if u have been drinking, cause mistakes happen and this was the first person i have ever known to die. so it was a pretty big shock which i still cant believe so please drive safe sauvic and dont watch out for ur life and the people in your car.

thanks for reading.

Dam, That's a terrible shame. But I think More of a point would be, not to drive Intoxicated in any instance.

yea people have gotton pretty lucky before, not really worth the risk. my and my friends were talking about the hoons footages on today tonight and 60minutes etc. watching something on tv come to reality is a real big hit in the rear.

Think i saw this car earlier in the evening. They were followed by an older honda full of people? If it is the same gtr I had a chat with the two guys in it, we had a quick chat about impounding and NOT wanting to get a car taken off us.

My condolences to family and friends of those involved.

was it a civic, mustve been the close friends.

i just saw the footage on the news break just then, silver gtr. there was a comment from a resident saying this happens every saturday or friday night which I thought was strange at the time, suggesting they were racing or something. probably wasnt a tasteful coment to be made at the time considering family and friends invloved untill proven.

condolences to family and friends. take it easy out there people

RIP,

I've heard about this as well, i hope its not the silver gtr with gold rims i've been seeing around a bit.

From what i saw quickly on the news, I think it was a silver gtr with gold rims.

R.I.P to the girl and condolonces to the family and friends involved.

Yep, Silver GTR with gold Rays or Buddy Club rims. Shame it had to happen and times like that you think to yourself, Get out of the car if the driver has been drinking. Call a mate to pick you up or even your parents. No matter what time of the day it was, if a mate of mine called and asked e to pick him/her up because they got out of or didn't get into a car with a drunken driver, I would go and get them.

Losing a loved one is torture....every night you dream of them but when you wake up they arent there anymore.

Loved ones are in for years of hell before life can perhaps go back to any sort of normality.

Let that be a lesson to everyone; dont let the people you care about leave the room without telling them how u feel.

Condolences to all of her friends and family. accidents like these are never pleasant and hopefully people can tat least take from this and be more careful on the roads.

I saw the wreck on my way to work and felt ill. I know I tend to accelerate around that corner and now realised how stoopid ive been as that could have easily been me or hundreds of other people that im sure hammer around that bend.

It was the silver GTR with Advan rg's on it........i know some of the people whom were involved in the accident. Such a sad way to lose someone. Please drive safe, i still cant believe shit like this can still happen after then accidents which occurred a few days prior to this. Obviously the message isn't getting through!!! This one has hit me hard and will defiantly change my driving habits.

DRIVE SAFE!!!!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
