I was in an accident a few years ago which was just a case of stupidity, I hit a power pole doing 140kmh and walked away with no injuries. Whenever I hear a story such as this, it scares me to think what might have happened and how lucky I am to be alive. That incident has never left me and gave me a new sense of vulnerability and respect for cars and roads. Driving is a privilege not a right.

My heart goes out to his father especially, he'd probably be feeling some sort of regret and reponsibility for the accident. But it was something which was out of his hands. Hopefully everyone can learn something from this person's mistake so that others do not have to go through the same thing.

no disrespect but, screw the car....the car was only money, nothing that cant be replaced....

 

its the lives that are the only loss here.... ;)

 

i know i can speak for all the WA boys.... when i send our deepest condolences....

agreed! at the end of the day.. so what if its an R34GTR and was in SPEED etc.. the fact that lives were lost.. and a pregnant lady as well.. i dont understand how ppl can be concerned abt the car

I became a fan of skylines back in April, and it was only then that a friend introduced me to SAU. I don't have a skyline, but I did know about the EVLR34. When I saw it in the SPEED article, man the car was amazing and gorgeous.

But thats not what I'm writing about. My mate who started my interest, told me that the car had been ripped in half and that shocked me, but when I heard that 3 people had died in the car, I couldn't move.

I, like many other, have had that sick feeling in my stomach and chest, the goosebumps and the tears welling up in my eyes, and I didn't know these people at all.

Its a waste. I wish to express my deepest condolences to the family, friends and all involved to the people in the car.

All the news I'm hearing now about the accident and the other details concerning the people in the car is just making it harder to swallow. I wouldn't want to imagine what the families must be going through now.

I know most of us have done stupid things in our cars, and this just brings back memories of all the times I have (at least I was alone) and how lucky I was. Thinking about what could have happened, make me almost as sick as thinking about this accident.

My love and wishes to all the family and friends.

Mish

my god, this would have to be a fathers worst nightmare

wow, i dont know what to say

that picture of whats left of it made me sick in the stomach

what a waste of life and such a painfull way to die ;)

i remember this car pretty well because of the articles/pictures around

will be watching the news tonite to see if they know what happened, hopefully they show respect and not just pay out skylines

RIP EVL

    • 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.
