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.

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.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
