At least there is something to bring us together at this crappy time....SAU NSW members please refer to the thread in the members area.

Alex, thanks for your courage facing the internet today, everyone here supports you and the families and friends remaining. Please pm when one of the exec with your contact details when you feel ready to talk about how we can help

Lets see one of the news sites publish this:

"Skylines Australia, apart from promoting OFF STREET drifting are also involved in driver training, to encourage safer more controlled driving on the street (an activity both the deceased member were repotedly active in) and several other forms of legitimate motorsport in which people with a passion get to enjoy doing what they love in a controlled environment. Further they are involved in raising many thousands of dollars each year for charities, both as a club and as individual members. While also actively discouraging members from being involved in any form of street racing, and penalising those who discuss such activities on the forums."- Please note I am not authorised to comment on behalf of SAU, but this is clearly a more accurate summary of this club.

For the Media to use this tragic event to AGAIN judge and discriminate is attrocious. Lives have been lost.

RIP, may where you go have a racetrack.

I wonder if channel 9 can be sued for slander.

RIP

rest easy gerard n tom!!! :cool: i miss u guys so effin much already... these boys were the easiest people to talk to and get along with, not only that, thank you so much for all ur awesome advice n friendships... both u guys will neva be forgotten!!! RIP ***MAN HUGZ***

R.I.P so sad to hear, very upsetting, the boys were hills shire locals

A friend was driving thru to Seven hills me being passenger and got pulled over by hwy patrol on quakers hill parkway.

Copped a red label and defect notice had to get towed home, fair enough cop the punishment for illegal mods. Wasnt expecting to get done in the west, he took the gamble.

Anyway, officer went on to spray about the crash this morning and illegal racing. Its just so sad that theres this huge persona advocated by the media that were all into illegal drag racing, drifting on streets and so on.

Hope this hits home, that no matter how good your car is setup and how well you are as a driver, its not worth it. Too many variables on the street and don't fall into peer pressure. Track is where most of us guys push ourselfs and cars and im just upset that people still risk there lives, its not worth it.

Just found this video *edit by mods: video removed, it was innacurate reporting and does not help any of us to watch*

    • 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.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
