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

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.

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
