yeah i think people should refrain from saying 'he got what he deserved type comments'.

thats pretty piss poor.

you dont know what happened...

condolences to family and friends.

terrible

;)

very much agreed mate. I know when one of my mates was killed in an accident and it was his fault, people i knew were saying shit about that he was goin so fast and how stupid he was. ****, sayin that just makes people angry, who cares how they were driving, the fact is... they're gone. nothing can change that.

it's just extremely insensitive of people to pass comment on the drivers ability, age, skill. it could happen to any of us. We all drive stupid at some stage...

so sad for everyone involved :'( i've been through alot of death in my life also, and it seems a good friend dies every few months.

please be careful everyone!

Knowing something like that has happened doesn't leave a nice feeling in your stomach. Thoughts also go out to all the friends and fmaily who will have to deal with this for time to come. I'm also in for a cruise in memoriam for the victims.

I also feel sick from reading about this tragic waste of life. So sad. Sorry to all the family and friends and Tom - the poor guy who witnessed the aftermath.

I certainly knew and was a big fan of the car as well. It pains me to see it like that.

;):( :(

I just woke up around 10am and switched on the news. As soon as i seen a news update, i could tell right away it was EVLR34. I couldnt believe it! Came on SAU right away to see if it was true. TRAGIC. I also have this car as my wallpaper. Condolences go out to their family and friends. No-one should have to go through this.

Steve.

I too felt sick when I saw it last night on the late news. I had a feeling that it was someone off here.

RIP and my deepest condolences to the family and friends of those involved.

Makes me not want to register my GTR and keep it as a track car only.

On a serious note Tom, go get some counseling. I was first on scene for a motorcycle accident this time last year. I didn't seek counseling and found later that i was suffering from "Post Traumatic Stress". For a long time i suffered (nightmares/cold sweats/couldn't watch CSI or any of those style programs etc etc). It wasn't untill recently i sought help and finally began to realise the problems that i was experienceing was due to that event.

You wont be seen as "weak" and dont be afraid to talk about it. You did the right thing, and you were brave. You took on the scene and took control, now the best thing to do for yourself is to talk about it so you can deal with what you went thru.

Cheers

Lawrence

thats tragic...19/3/03 i lost my mate of 15 years, he got air goin around a corner with a dip in his crx and rolled many times before the car gettin split around a power pole, he was drivin stupid and i still get angry that he did, but the fact is he is gone and i think about that and not the fact he was speeding... the impact that left on me with my car was so strong, and out of all the friends i have he was the one i trusted the most, but he never sped ever with anyone else in the car only by him self,its a targic loss and i really feel for all the family and friends, especially at such a young age, but like someone said before, dont get scared of the car, have the respect for it, road rules and most importantly how precious life actually is...

ben...

First of all condolences to family and friends and R.I.P to passengers.

Second what a waste of life and an awesome car, All I can say is at least no one was injured outside the car! Stupid behavoiur ends in tragedy. This sort of thing making people scared of thier cars is the stupidist thing I've heard, this sort of thing is avoidable if you think about consequences before you put your foot down.

Let this be a lesson to us all!

    • 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.
