Regarding the media coverage....this is a terrible thing to happen and it was covered on most of the sydney news bulletins last night. While the ch9 coverage was pretty offensive and devoid of facts, kudos to ch7 and ch10 for sticking to reporting and not taking the chance to put the boot into this community at a time like this. And equally thumbs up to the police who never made any suggestion of anything other than that an investigation was underway.

No need to dwell on those clowns though, let's keep this about Tom and Gerard.

Well written Nick, and DOOF I'm with you mate, can't think of what it's like to be their mothers this weekend. My condolences to the friends and family and hope they are getting lots of love and support at this time.

Not knowing either of the guys, is there any way in which this community can do something for their mother/partners, maybe not in time for tomorrow but in the coming weeks, to show our gratitude for the men they helped mould? be it anything as simple as some flowers (but coming from a few hundred people this seems a little tame) to raising some money for partners to assist over the coming months, Even mow their lawns, whatever?

If there is someone more in the know then count me in when the time comes, or I will see what the response is like.

saw the channel 9 report. RIP. such a sad series of events.

however, it's great to know the level of respect "journalists" pay to such good people. instantly jumping on every little bit of information and making them see like the enemy. Ironically SAU is the most responsible club i know and one of the few that have track days in melbourne.

Most importantly though, at least their family and friends won't buy into such lies and be able to respect them properly.

channel 9 makes me sick.

    • 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.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
