Just spotted on the news:3 killed when a GTR driver lost it in a suburb,central NSW coast area.The car was pulled in half-f**king huge mess.This will do any 'Line owner no end of bad press for a while.I hate to ask,but the car in question looked familiar:I'm almost 100% sure it was an R34,Bayside blue,blue painted five spoke deep dished rims w/polished edges...It looked very much like the 34 featured in S.P.E.E.D. 014(edit name removed,"EVLR34" plates),plus he resides somewhere in the Central Coast area...Christ,I feel weak at the thought of what happened,and that it could happen to any of us.Weather or not the 'Line in question was a SAU'er or not,my thoughts go out to family and friends of those killed.Mad as I am for anyone going too fast in built up areas,the ultimate price is a life-or three.Another sad day for performance car people...

yeah, 2 guys thrown from the car on impact and a teenage girl trapped - all passed away at the scene - i think the driver was 23

I hope it was no one from around here - and thoughts go out to the families and friends - and I too think the car looked familiar....

They obviously where travelling ALLOT faster than 50km/h

yeah jayce im pretty sure it was a car that croydons had worked on. As it had the same deep dished WORK rims on it. Torn in half in a 50 zone, dont mean to sound or be harsh but, what was the driver thinking!!!!. As it has now cost him/her their lives and also the lives of two of their friends. Please SAU, organise more track/drag days so people can leave the temptation to drive on the limit to track days. Paul and Stacey... DIRTgarage.

i seen this one the news this morning and thought to myself, no, how could someone go so fast around the streets, in a 50 zone to make it worse, that they would be able to smash a car in two parts?

i send my condolences to all involved, but guys, that sort of stuff needs to be kept on the track for that exact reason. when you do stupid things on the roads........this is the outcome........these people paid dearly.............

Also worth a thought all is that if you're a passenger in a car and one of your mates is "Giving it" don't be afraid to express your desire to LIVE and get the driver to save it for the track or at least when YOU are not in the car. I've had to do it about 3 times and once about 22 years ago it DID save my life but unfortunately my mate didn't take the hint ;)

My condolences also, especially the friends and family who now have to deal with this loss.

yeah guys it was my best mate driving....i was rebuilding my R32 with him in his back shed...it was edit name removed son

i will be organising a cruise in memory of them all and to pay respect to the family of which i klnow very well........i hope everyone can come along

It is a very Sad Day

Mate,so sorry to hear.You know that we're all here if you need anything.Although Canberra is many,many k's away,let us all know what your plans for a cruise are:you never know who can make it,and from what distance they may come from...

I figured it wasn't Graeme driving:news said all three were young.Please pass on my repect.Once again,sorry for your loss.Jayce.

Condolences to all involved.

BUT. It's quite obvious that something was going awry with the speed and driver skill.

A sad day for friends and relitives, and most likely all skyline enthusiasts within a 200klm radius of the accident.

R.I.P EVLR34

Initially when I heard the news report I thought it must have been ripped off by joyriders. A 23 year old guy with a couple of mates in an R34 GTR...

My condolences go out to the friends and families of those involved.

sad to hear about the loss of life but i guess its the price you pay for driving like an idiot..... the sooner people realise there is a time and place for speed the better we will all be..... although there were inocent passengers i guess we wanna be thankful there wasnt another innocent car involved

very very sad to hear. signed upto these forums just to say it

I live on the coast and i've seen that GTR around, it was a nice machine. very sorry for the family and friends. my condolences.

one of my good mates died a couple of months ago on fagans rd in lisarow, so i kinda know how you'd be feeling.

so sad to see 3 young lives gone.. people please keep it on the track!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
