3 people die on central coast - R34 GTR ripped in half


Recommended Posts

Morning all I just saw a horrible sight on TV.

A modified blue R34 GTR on the central coast has crashed in a 50 zone ripping the car clean in half and killing its 3 occupants. The part most disturbing about this is the fact It looked identical to a car that was at our show and shine - I have only seen two R34 GTR's with these Work wheels in this colour - both attended the show and shine

I seriously hope I am mistaken as this is a horrible tragedy.

This is really sad, but unfortunatly not that surprising. I would never let my kid go joy riding in my supercar, not unless he respected it and understood how to drive it. If he split a R34 in half in a 50 zone then he was really moving. ;)

My condolences go out to the family of the young men killed.

Remember.. speeding around like fangio will not only get your self killed but most likely your skyline. Think of the skylines if nothing else.

Condolences to the family. I too am totally speechless, that was horrific. The car is in two pieces. The enigne was totally separate and the body of the car was very twisted. I couldnt work out what it was until the news said it was a Nissan import, then i recognised the Work rims!

A sad tragedy,

It may not of been young people driving it as the police on scene didnt blame youth. I would just like to say, uni/school holidays are upon us. Please everyone, slow down. Think of your families. Its the people you leave behind that suffer.

WISD/eastern creek/oran/wakefield are open for all of us to speed all we want.

My parents heard about "a Nissan Skyline" crashing. I stayed at my girlfriend's place and went to work straight from there. My phone was on silent and they gave me like 6 missed calls. They were worried...

Really sad to hear this. Stay safe people.

Condolences to the family and people with a close connection.

No one deserves to go through this.

Condolence to the RB26DETT, that it may never beat again ;)

The chassis, may it melt in peace and it's possibly parts donored to others.

:D

I send my condolences to the families of the passengers, does anybody know where on the central coast this happend? I saw this car at the show and shine, it was parked a few cars down from mine in the show, I think it won an award for best R34 GTR.

I'd like to second Dinos comments and ask that speculation and or theories/critisicms about what exactly happened be left out of this thread.

Make up your own mind guys, but look at the photo, and remember they were in a 50KM/h zone........ 1 car, 1 telegraph pole, 1 R34 GTR TORN in half......

A sad day for the family and friends of those involved.

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
