Regarding the media coverage....this is a terrible thing to happen and it was covered on most of the sydney news bulletins last night. While the ch9 coverage was pretty offensive and devoid of facts, kudos to ch7 and ch10 for sticking to reporting and not taking the chance to put the boot into this community at a time like this. And equally thumbs up to the police who never made any suggestion of anything other than that an investigation was underway.

No need to dwell on those clowns though, let's keep this about Tom and Gerard.

Well written Nick, and DOOF I'm with you mate, can't think of what it's like to be their mothers this weekend. My condolences to the friends and family and hope they are getting lots of love and support at this time.

Not knowing either of the guys, is there any way in which this community can do something for their mother/partners, maybe not in time for tomorrow but in the coming weeks, to show our gratitude for the men they helped mould? be it anything as simple as some flowers (but coming from a few hundred people this seems a little tame) to raising some money for partners to assist over the coming months, Even mow their lawns, whatever?

If there is someone more in the know then count me in when the time comes, or I will see what the response is like.

saw the channel 9 report. RIP. such a sad series of events.

however, it's great to know the level of respect "journalists" pay to such good people. instantly jumping on every little bit of information and making them see like the enemy. Ironically SAU is the most responsible club i know and one of the few that have track days in melbourne.

Most importantly though, at least their family and friends won't buy into such lies and be able to respect them properly.

channel 9 makes me sick.

    • Could someone post some pictures of the factory Jack , tools, spare tire and how they were in a 1998 ER34 2 door skyline originally?
    • UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!  
    • I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end
    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
