The driver was deemed not at fault and released by the police. The peds were crossing at a non-crossing area, driver was doing speed limit and it was one of those unfortunate accidents where ppl and car swerved in the same direction.

Its a shame that it had to be a nissan GTR, but this case seems purely to be an accident, and a tragic one at that.

Condolensces out to any family and friends affected

at least they got the GTR part correct,

so your saying the other words they mentioned with GTR arent true?

it isnt a nissan, or a sports car :P

and agreed with dont just blame the driver, disrespectful or not, pedestrians do some dumb shit as well.

Agreed with you on this one, after look at news footage off ch7 last nite, there is ped crossing up the road, so, the Wonam and their daughter chose to jay walking cross the road, and they pay the consquences of jay walking cross the road.

When i learn the news, i have strong feeling that was purely accident seeing the site isn't a designated pedestrain crossing. So the driver shouldn't be blamed for this regardless what car he/she drives, If it were happened to me in this situation, I'll agure that pedestrains should cross the road using desginated crossing zone.

Just my 2 cents.

Hmm the hospital is very close to my house.

Sounds pretty tragic but you can't put the Skyline driver at fault straight away.

Blast the media for targetting Skylines again!!!

I dont see the point of it being a Skyline, or a Ford Laser.

The guy wasnt doing 0-100 in 5secs, he was driving a car. any car. you can break the speed limit in any car, cant you?

Of course, that's assuming the driver did anything wrong at all.

Still, it's a sad state of affairs, and wouldnt wish either end on anyone.

    • You know, that is exactly the thing that I was thinking a coupe of hours ago. I even had a plan for a meme, involving one big one, another big one, and the Old El Paso girl saying "¿por que no los dos?"
    • NoS, 2 of the big ones.
    • Oh, that's grim. Something bad has been happening there.
    • Put an endoscope down the hole and saw this. Not quite all around the bore but a good 60% at least. Chin to the chest and towards further disappointments I guess.
    • 2 does "sort of" applies, maybe......but looking at what parts would be needed for the swap to get engineered, registered, and insured, and basically that's everything under the car, the modifications the make it legal would be problematic and horrendously expensive, all for a street car that just cruises around and hits a few twisty roads on the weekends Also, from looking at the NSW rules and Regs, with all modifications that is required just to make the car safe and not twist itself to pieces, and then actually get registered for street use, may still be impossible nowadays As for 1, when you add in a fresh engine, fresh transmission, rear cradle and diff, tailshaft, suspension, brakes, cooling, and all the other fabrication required, your probably looking at up to $100k to do it right, all for a 20 year old MX5 that is over engineered and you would never be able to actually use the power it has on the street, much like your beastie, which I love, but you actually track that thing and can use all of its powers in anger, in a safe environment  Hell, the old Bogan Cruise Ship had more power than I could use on the street, and in hindsight, I went a bit silly on that thing, it didn't really need the 500hp it had for what I actually used the car for, it was fun, but basically unusable on the street if you value your licence  As for cams, yeah, I'll probably book it in for them to get installed and tuned soonish, like next month after MX5 Mania are back at work....... and yes, I've already sent a email to bin the turbo quote and quote instead to install cams and a new Fluidampr balancer that will suit the 2.5 better than the OEM 2.0 balancer that is swapped over for the 2.5 install, as the balancer needs to get pulled to time the cams it's a while your in there sort of thing I did think a bit about flex fuel for a laugh, but being na, and no where really around locally anymore to get E85, I've binned that idea, so no sweet sweet corn smells are set for the car I wish E85 was more of a standard fuel, it's better for the environment, better for tuning, plus that sweet sweet smell we all love As for fitting in the family, that's not needed, as everyone in the family already owns a car that can seat 5 humans comfortably enough, the MX5 is "my toy" As for buying a car that is already built, nah, I would rather pick and choose my parts, I enjoy the process, and in the big picture, the additional cost is well worth the enjoyment, and the occasional frustration, I get out of doing it, albeit with other people spinning the spanners, and me, just paying the invoice 🤣
