Bloody hell, Need to take it easy on the roads people. 2011 resulted in 364 fatal accidents, We are already at 384 for this years stats ending November 2012. Looking to be close to 400 by new year.

My thoughts go out the the passenger that died, I'd almost have preferred to have gone as well rather then living with he fact you've killed someone like that.

Passenger in the rear seat also survived, What an big accident to walk away from....

I personally know the passenger in the back seat. They had to amputate both of his legs, and at this point is still fighting for his life.

I didn't know the driver, or the girl that passed (RIP)... But speeding was a major factor of this accident. Very uncool.

It's so upsetting seeing what his family are going through. A few of you guys in these forums would know him as well. Just have a think about who you know out in Cabra who owns a modded up black 4door line...

I've been at the hospital back and forth ever since. He has to go into surgery again on Friday, so the doctors will know more after that. He was so so close to bleeding to death, he lost 100% of his own blood, and bleed the equivalent of 4 human bodies in a span of 28 hours, so all the blood donors out there, I thank you! You really do help save lives. We should all really donate blood now.

Please please please drive safely peoples, Never jeopardise hurting anyone you love, especially your beloved skylines.

Lastly please take a minute of your day to prey for him to make it through this, his family need him. His been such a fighter..

His brother & I love him to bits!

gees thats horrible

i agree with the slow down message in this thread, but more importantly imo be careful who and what car you choose to be taken for a joy ride in

Ive always felt its a recipe for disaster when people joy ride, More so in "super cars" that are just far to easy to go fast in. And not even really feel that fast.

Ie 200 kmh in a R32 gtr would feel very rigity compared to a R35

What a terrible situation; thoughts going out to your friend.

Also the point about riding in other peoples cars is well made; If you aren't comfortable, or things are getting too silly, tell the driver in no uncertain terms to stop the car, and get out.

It might not be the coolest thing you've ever done; but it might just save your life.

+1 if it was reckless driving, it's a hell of a thing to have to think about it

this is the reason i flat out don't carry passengers when i go for drives in the hills

Unbelievable.

As a motorcyclist who could be around the next bend, please don't drive in the hills at all if you don't feel safe enough to carry a passenger.

Condolences to the family and friends of those whom have been hurt in this accident.

no need to be worried, you don't have to drive recklessly in a car at night on a tight road to have fun

just stay on your side of the road and we'll both be fine - that seems to be the biggest cause of accidents on mountainous roads and my main concern

      Short shifter r34

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts

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

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.

      Short shifter r34

      stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.

      Short shifter r34

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?

      R34 oil and timing belt change

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
