I agree with the parents on this one. It really should not be sold. And this is coming from someone that drinks spirits regularly and can handle rectified spirit without issues.

It's just not worth the risk

What the f**k Martin your whole life is just a whirlwind of upgrades.

well flights andsuch it's a little expected at my travel level

this one was out of the blue however as I'm not even in their loyalty program,

If all we have on record in Australia is one death from spirytus, then it's not doing too badly considering the poisoning and destruction that alcohol on the whole causes to lives and families.

I'm with Darwin on this. People kill themselves with beer and a steering wheel...we won't be seeing that get banned anytime soon, cause tax and the whole "few who spoil it for the many" argument.

I thankfully missed the DECA when Spirytus came out and it was bad times for everyone...

I've had strong stuff in the past, whenever my body says "NO!!!" it just throws it up (Absinthe etc). I wouldn't have thought that only a 2 shots would be enough to kill... make incredibly drunk and sick, yes... but that said she did already have other drinks in her stomach.

I think you'll find drink driving is actually illegal.

It isn't, which is why the drink is a scapegoat in a sensationalist story that should be about irresponsible drinking instead

No blame for the fk wits who kept handing her alcohol or the girl herself

It's irresponsible, sure, but I would wager that the people drinking it had no idea of the lethality of the drink.

If you can you know, accidentally kill yourself with it, then there needs to be some kind of control as to how it's procured. It's a lot harder to literally kill yourself with VB.

According to Nicole’s grieving family, the Thornlie teen only had a few mixed drinks over the course of the evening when she was offered the spirit by a male friend. A few hours later, she was dead.

Not sure if they're trying to imply that males are irresponsible and they are the cause for her death, or if he was planning on sexually assaulting her, because he was male, and that's what all males do...

f**king men.

Nothing accidental about ingesting copious amounts of alcohol

They teach kids about the dangers of alcohol in school still don't they?

It's about as accidental as pushing a kitchen knife into your stomach

The only thing worse would have been receiving the dangerous drink from a pod filter

never taught us about booze..

but was proper redneck culture, so if you not tanked on a friday then they question your sexuality and beat you up.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
