nasty outcome. very sad way to end a life. no matter what car they were driving be it skyline or not, it still would have made the news, it was a bad crash, and it involved alcohol + young people.

every1 has made mistakes before in there lives, but some u just cant reverse, and have to face up to it.

like every 1 in there situations give the chance to have a look into there futures, and see the consequinces, they would never have done it.

R.I.P and hope the families and girl, friends of the deceased can cope.

drunk...

180kmh....

that's not just stupid that's almost intentional suicide. How long does it take for a stock 33 to hit 180???? She must have had her foot planted for a good 16-18 seconds and accelerated over 1/2km before reaching that speed.

It's not like this was a split second loss of control on a wet corner - this was a dedicated effort to really be a tool.

I have no sympathy for this driver and am just thankful none of my family or friends were in their path.

happens..

when I first got my license (10+ years ago).. I always used to see how fast my piece of crap car would go... I don't think it's that unusual as a part of growing up.

these guys just did it while drunk, which simply lowers your inhibitions to do these stupid things, and possibly show off to your mates. There is a lot of attention on it these days, but it has always happened since cars, licenses, and booze were invented.

Skylines/imports/V8's should be made illegal for members of the population with a blatant lack of intelligence.

lol.. but many of us *do* have a bit of intelligence - that doesn't necessarily mean we haven't done stupid shit in a car either..

Mind you guys, the email the chicky sent didnt mention the female driver acually drinking, she could have just organised with her boyfriend that she'd drive home.

As to why she would drive his car at such a speed when its not hers?....Yeah pretty stupid thing to do.

Im not going to say they deserve no sympathy from me, and they deserved what they got.

Im just going to take this headline (like many other car tragedies) as a warning and a reminder to how much i take my life for granted.

How extremely lucky i am allready.

And how i will drive if i were in the similar conditions to the incident.

You know what.. this is a shit thing to have happened..

However this poor girl has to live with this the rest of her life... i would not wish that on my worst enemy...

Yes it was a stupid decision, yes it could had been avoided, but it wasnt..

As has been said earlier.. we all make stupid decisions, maybe shooting your mouth off at your bf/gf/boss about something stupid... seems like a good idea at the time, but at least you have the chance to go apologise/make things right. Maybe getting sideways in the wet and getting a little out of shape... We've all done it, you look back and go 'gee that was really dumb.. lucky there wasnt anyone coming up the other side of the road'... hindsight is a wonderful thing, we look back and learn.

We all know what our cars are capable of, and we all know what even a little dutch courage can do... The wrong decision here was to get in the car in the first place... Everything after this was a consequence of this one action.. I hope everyone learns from this.

RIP, and I hope this poor girl can go on to lead a somewhat normal life.

Perhaps the best thing to do is to cut redcliffe off of australia and let it float away.

Ever since my crash there, my brothers crash there and my fathers crash there, theres alot of hatred towards that place in my family :).

My father even calls it 'Inala By The Sea'.

But jokes aside, I can see the PR campaign on this going to cause us alot of hell. All of us who do the right thing are going to cop the brunt of this, all because some silly drunken tart got behind the wheel of he b/f's 'line and munted it.

I feel for the poor guys family and friends, but she deserves the arrest she got.

I'm not gonna pass judgment on anyone involved cos it's not helpfull and no one needs it, i'm just gonna pray that the young girl doesn't suffer anymore than she has and that the family's are strong and get through this...

I'm very sad at the loss of a life that was taken too soon.... :O

I better NOT hear about anyone from here in a story like this :D

      I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32

      AC not coming from top vents

      By Templim · Posted

      Ayooo, been a while mates. I have a s2 r33 gtst and air stopped coming out of all the top vents.   My car has always made an actuator gear noise when turning the car on but that's a different issue I think? Did searches and am at process of thinking it's an actuator or some type of motor? I see a few different actuators and don't know which one. Would be nice to know if it was the one that's under the steering wheel so the dash doesn't need to come out.

      Custom titanium intake

      Hi, just checking. Did you get this stuff made by Vspec Performance and at what price roughly? Looking into (sometime later) also getting such a intake kit, and Trust as well as HKS don't make a full set like this anymore.
