yeah i think people should refrain from saying 'he got what he deserved type comments'.

thats pretty piss poor.

you dont know what happened...

condolences to family and friends.

terrible

;)

very much agreed mate. I know when one of my mates was killed in an accident and it was his fault, people i knew were saying shit about that he was goin so fast and how stupid he was. ****, sayin that just makes people angry, who cares how they were driving, the fact is... they're gone. nothing can change that.

it's just extremely insensitive of people to pass comment on the drivers ability, age, skill. it could happen to any of us. We all drive stupid at some stage...

so sad for everyone involved :'( i've been through alot of death in my life also, and it seems a good friend dies every few months.

please be careful everyone!

Knowing something like that has happened doesn't leave a nice feeling in your stomach. Thoughts also go out to all the friends and fmaily who will have to deal with this for time to come. I'm also in for a cruise in memoriam for the victims.

I also feel sick from reading about this tragic waste of life. So sad. Sorry to all the family and friends and Tom - the poor guy who witnessed the aftermath.

I certainly knew and was a big fan of the car as well. It pains me to see it like that.

;):( :(

I just woke up around 10am and switched on the news. As soon as i seen a news update, i could tell right away it was EVLR34. I couldnt believe it! Came on SAU right away to see if it was true. TRAGIC. I also have this car as my wallpaper. Condolences go out to their family and friends. No-one should have to go through this.

Steve.

I too felt sick when I saw it last night on the late news. I had a feeling that it was someone off here.

RIP and my deepest condolences to the family and friends of those involved.

Makes me not want to register my GTR and keep it as a track car only.

On a serious note Tom, go get some counseling. I was first on scene for a motorcycle accident this time last year. I didn't seek counseling and found later that i was suffering from "Post Traumatic Stress". For a long time i suffered (nightmares/cold sweats/couldn't watch CSI or any of those style programs etc etc). It wasn't untill recently i sought help and finally began to realise the problems that i was experienceing was due to that event.

You wont be seen as "weak" and dont be afraid to talk about it. You did the right thing, and you were brave. You took on the scene and took control, now the best thing to do for yourself is to talk about it so you can deal with what you went thru.

Cheers

Lawrence

thats tragic...19/3/03 i lost my mate of 15 years, he got air goin around a corner with a dip in his crx and rolled many times before the car gettin split around a power pole, he was drivin stupid and i still get angry that he did, but the fact is he is gone and i think about that and not the fact he was speeding... the impact that left on me with my car was so strong, and out of all the friends i have he was the one i trusted the most, but he never sped ever with anyone else in the car only by him self,its a targic loss and i really feel for all the family and friends, especially at such a young age, but like someone said before, dont get scared of the car, have the respect for it, road rules and most importantly how precious life actually is...

ben...

First of all condolences to family and friends and R.I.P to passengers.

Second what a waste of life and an awesome car, All I can say is at least no one was injured outside the car! Stupid behavoiur ends in tragedy. This sort of thing making people scared of thier cars is the stupidist thing I've heard, this sort of thing is avoidable if you think about consequences before you put your foot down.

Let this be a lesson to us all!

    • Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.
    • That's a write off for sure... Part out? 😛 I kid. It looks like the rad support has a minor minor bend in it too where the rep support sits near. Could just be the photos (and me not wearing my glasses right now). Worst case is you can buy a new radiator support, have it swapped over, and leave the car in paint jail for 12 to 18 months while you build the motor to handle twin turbos or a Harrop SC...
    • It seems the definition of "Gregging" something might need to be expanded?
    • This is why I suggested that there is really nothing that can safely be done in the engine bay at this budget level. Just the work to reassure yourself that the engine won't instantly crap itself the moment the boost gets turned up will wear out the piggy bank long before the first turbo gets installed. Spend $10k and still not have any extra performance? My tip is a version of our standard advice from 15 years ago about buying a GTR, which is not to buy one unless you can afford to buy two. The new version is not to modify a GTR unless you have all the funds required to do it all at once, properly, and enough to rebuild it after it blows up.
    • Oh, I forgot to mention this before.  It is accepted that your taking on risk buy turning up the power on a 30 year old stock motor. You can lower the risk with the ECU engine protection, but this is more money on sensors. CAN wideband, oil temp, oil pressure, coolant pressure, fuel pressure, air temp, etc. It adds up quick.  I am a huge fan of running all of the engine protection the ECU offers. You'll have to decide for yourself how you want the engine protection setup and what you think is worth monitoring.
