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.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
