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


Recommended Posts

More news apparently is being aired on central coast radio.

It seems the owner of the car has not been contactable and is overseas and therefore may not know whats gone on. This also indicates that his son may have taken the car without prior knowledge or permission from his father.

;)

That sends so many shivers down my spine, so the father is still unaware of the accident?

This makes me want to ask my son to trade his Skyline in on a Merc etc, Ive had my son race Karts then cars since his 7th birthday and feel we should look at diffrent licence levels.

Hope we learn from this.WA news said the 3 were all teens.

Sad leason for us all.

Condolonces to the family and it's occupants.

This is a horrible thing to hear.

My friend just told me when I came online, and what's even more strange is that the car was my background too.

RIP EVLR34

I saw the same car on pacific hw at Pymble last Wed.(17th Nov.) heading Hornsby going pretty fast... and the car sounds really nice..

I'm sure its this one.... sad to see this happen...

words must be useless to the family & friends but condolences to everyone who knew them. it numbs me to hear about such a terrible tragedy...and touche to evryone else who has mentioned it - keep the fangio impressions to the racetrack and stay safe, we all know how powerful the mighty skyline is so we all need to respect it...

it is such a sad and terrible tradgedy, it makes you really think how one silly little mistake can really make such a huge impact on those around.. hopefully this terrible news will make an impact for the good as well and save some lives too :(

i know it has made me think twice about the practice of speeding in seemingly "safe" streets (no matter how little over the limit)

Condolences from not only from myself, but my friend Dennis, and the rest of the Hornsby Boys

OMG F*ck....

I have the mag of this car, i read it over and over

And the son died wit ppl in the car :( This is horrible... my heart goes out to their family!

Hope they somehow find a way to cope ok with this...

This is sad news not only for the families and friends of the deceased, but to the Skyline community as a whole! Luckily there's been no major backlash on the fact that it was a high-performance import with a young driver at the wheel. Another reason to push for better driver and attitude training for everyone, no matter the age or experience.

Three young lives (four, if you count the unborn child) and a beautiful car which no longer grace the earth...

Condolences to all of the friends and families affected. :(

    • 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.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
