Just saw what looked like the remains of an R33 on the news. I say 'looked like' cos the it was pretty much unrecognisable from the rear of the doors forwards. Hit a tree at high speed and then caught fire. Driver and front seat passenger incinerated (probably killed instantly anyway), two rear passengers dragged from the wreckage and now in intensive care.

Hope no one here was involved....

Condolances....

From the mag wheel, it maybe a GT-R? I can't make out whether there's a big wheel arch bulge in the rear quarter panel as it's been burnt badly... But the rear wing seems to be a series 2 skyline (the square style)

Quite a sad news...

Was a black 33 gtst very heavily worked. He only had it for about 3 months. My condolances go out to his family as well as the family of the passenger. It is not upto me to release any names or details of the car, suffice to say there is only half a recognisable car left.

Words cannot describe the toll and burden that the famililes must now endure. This should serve as a timely reminder to everyone who drives a high powered car to be careful and if you are doing something dangerous....make sure you are alone.

Im really sorry to hear about what could only be described as a tragedy. It has opened my eyes to the reality of what we each risk when we turn these cars which we love on. As stated we are not invincible and this pretty much proves it.

My condollences go out to the families and friends of all those involved and hope that we never have to hear or see anything like this happen to anyone from here or anywhere else.

Drive safe.

Cheers,

Ni.

I only meet joel once at ice performance, i was under the hood of my car try to work something out. He came along to see what the problem was, and was very eager to help. Even though we spoke for a few minutes, u knew what kind of person he was, he was a TOP BLOKE

R.I.P dude

We will all miss ya

My condolences go out to frooends and family of the guys that were involved in the smash at MT. Martha.

I live just down the road from the accident in MT Martha and drive down that rd at least twice a day. Very dangerous, lots of bends and hills. In the wet even going at 60 (the speed limit) is sketchy if u dont know the road well.

Thanks also go out to the locals who got the other 2 guys out of the car before it exploded. Absolute heros.

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
