like a lot of people on here, i too have seen that beautiful machine in articles and such, and to see it in that state is horrifying. I really dont know how to explain how im feeling right now. pretty much numb and getting cold shivers up my spine. this is truly tragic. i dont know any of the people involved, but my deepest, deepest sympathy goes to the families involved. The pain the families of the deceased must be going through would be unbearable. This just proves how fragile life is and how easy it can be taken away. I hope everyone my age that reads this realises how easy it is to get yourself and your friends in trouble if you drive recklessly. I really dont know what else to say

R.I.P

Deepest condolences to all the famiy and friends.

I meet the parents at the Gosford show and shine this year as I was involved in the event and parked beside them for the day. They are very descent, hard working people that will need the support of everyone around them in this darkest hour.

With all respect

very sad to hear :D just saw the mess on the news did not look pretty at all my condolences also go out to the family and all people who knew the people :D i also noted they said at the end the premier was looking at restrictions similar to vic i think. anyways as i said very sad day RIP EVLR34

HOLY F*CK, I just saw it on the news, I don't think the driver was able to wipe of any speed from the angle that it veer across the rd.

Damn shame about young ppls losing their life like that,

I hope the Cops don't go out and try and make an evil character of the driver, as it would be right to do so.

My condolences.

I also offer my condolences to those affected by this tragic accident.

And to any people thinking that negatively about skylines are mistaken as this sort of thing can happen to anyone in ANY CAR if not driven safely.

Value your own and the lifes of others as it is an ever so precious gift.

Take care on the roads and drive safely.

Condolences to the family and friends.

I woke up turn on the news and saw it like many other people, i didnt know wat type of car it was tell they show one shot which show the tail lights on the ground away from the car. i jump on the fourming hoping it was no one from here.

Hi Guys,

Condolences to the familys involved. But this is bullshit we all get upset at the police cracking down and no wonder why that could have been anybodys daughter in that car and the ****head has killed her as well as his mate. Selfish act and one that in my books is just about the worse thing you can do to anybody its a meaningless act that even if he did make it wouldnt have gotten him anywhere.

I hope all you young ****heads who speed through streets understand now that it can and will happen to you regardless of what ****ing car your driving.

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
