Few passerbys said they they wished they didn't see the gory aftermath. Will be on news I think

+1 if it was reckless driving, it's a hell of a thing to have to think about it

this is the reason i flat out don't carry passengers when i go for drives in the hills

I can't see how that type of accident in that type of car could be anything but the result of excessive speed/inexperience.

I'm all for a bit of a squirt every now and then, but that's terrible.

It is very sad to hear about this accident. Deepest condolences to all involved or impacted by this tragedy.

It's also sad that I have to remind everyone that this is a public forum and posts here have been used on news shows when reporting on incidents so please be mindful of anything you post related to this story.

Very sad. No one can really pass judgement without knowing the circumstances.

Extreme care is required with these cars given the power it has, but no matter what car you drive you must remember that you are responsible for the care of your passengers.

Its terrible. I live just near there, and I know the road he was going down, and HEAPS of people go up that big left hander past the driving range all the time with excessive speed. From what I heard, there wasn't even any brake marks on the road suggesting he was travelling so fast that he didn't even have time to hit the brakes. They also captured the car rocketing past a security camera moments before, and it was absolutely moving. As soon as you go around that corner, there is a set of traffic lights, so I have NFI why he was moving so fast.

Condolences to the family.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
