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.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
