Got to work this morning and saw the news. I thought that car and wheels looked way too familiar, and had a bad feeling it was.

Only saw these guys early last night too, what a waste.

My sincere condolences to the families as well. Couple of great blokes.

I now have known way too many people now that have lost their life on the road, even one is too many.

Take it easy guys, no one is immortal.

OMG i saw this today when i got to work. Thought it was such a tradgic accident. Makes it even worse to be someone you clearly all have so much respect for.

Condolences to all friends, family, and everyone else who knew the guys. I unfortunately did not get the pleasure, but i can see their memories will live on through the forum.

And props to you Nick, for doing the honourable thing, and making a thread for this.

terrible news, its also upsetting to see the media always jumps to the street racer scenario in circumstances like this.

Pretty sure I met these blokes at the meet a few weeks ago. I saw the news this morning and had a feeling that I'd seen the car somewhere.

Even though I had only met them briefly, it's still a massive shock.

It's sad when someone is killed in a crash, but it's even worse when a passenger is innocently taken too.

RIP boys.

Two awesome guys, last thing anyone wants to hear. My condolences to the families during this tragic time. Alex it's safe to say that you have all of our support during these tough times.

RIP guys

Absolute scumbags. Just shows nothing is sacred for the media. They don't even know the facts of the situation, so much for journalistic integrity if there is such a thing.

Thank you guys for your support, I had organised a Track day for Gerards Birthday on the 20th of May.

This is still going ahead as a tribute to both Tom and Gerard, they were amazing guys and no words can express how much they are loved and will be missed.

It is a speed off the streets day, so if you were friends with either of the boys or wish to pay your respects, you are more than welcome to attend.

I will pass on all your kind words to the families involved.

It is a sad day indeed, but any words of support are comforting.

I was going to make comment to this in my post but wasn't sure if it was appropriate of me to given the circumstances.

My condolences to all affected by this.

As Nick said, the media will likely be trawling forums looking for anything they can use and are already painting negative pictures about the accident;

Nine News understands that text messages are sent out weekly to about 20 people organising meets on the highway.

I'm so sorry that this has happened. We've lost a lot of good people over the years in this club.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
