I was in an accident a few years ago which was just a case of stupidity, I hit a power pole doing 140kmh and walked away with no injuries. Whenever I hear a story such as this, it scares me to think what might have happened and how lucky I am to be alive. That incident has never left me and gave me a new sense of vulnerability and respect for cars and roads. Driving is a privilege not a right.

My heart goes out to his father especially, he'd probably be feeling some sort of regret and reponsibility for the accident. But it was something which was out of his hands. Hopefully everyone can learn something from this person's mistake so that others do not have to go through the same thing.

I became a fan of skylines back in April, and it was only then that a friend introduced me to SAU. I don't have a skyline, but I did know about the EVLR34. When I saw it in the SPEED article, man the car was amazing and gorgeous.

But thats not what I'm writing about. My mate who started my interest, told me that the car had been ripped in half and that shocked me, but when I heard that 3 people had died in the car, I couldn't move.

I, like many other, have had that sick feeling in my stomach and chest, the goosebumps and the tears welling up in my eyes, and I didn't know these people at all.

Its a waste. I wish to express my deepest condolences to the family, friends and all involved to the people in the car.

All the news I'm hearing now about the accident and the other details concerning the people in the car is just making it harder to swallow. I wouldn't want to imagine what the families must be going through now.

I know most of us have done stupid things in our cars, and this just brings back memories of all the times I have (at least I was alone) and how lucky I was. Thinking about what could have happened, make me almost as sick as thinking about this accident.

My love and wishes to all the family and friends.

      HyperGear vs Pulsar Turbo RB25DET

      By Eric0 · Posted

      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!

      Probolt

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Beanie · Posted

      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.
