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.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
