i knew someone would say that

but seriously i feel sorry for the driver and passenger

but if people were more careful this kind of stuff would not happen if people loved their car and wouldn't go trashing it in a mountain.

this is really hard to say without offending anyone. But I'm not saying i hope the car is fine and that i don't care what happened to them. I'm just stressed that it happened and it shouldn't of happened because they don't deserve it.

i'm sorry if i offended anyone because i didn't intend to. It was in my mind that readers would view it in this way. But it is not what i mean. Yes i probably chose the wrong words to express my opnion.

and no don't reply to this cos it will end up in a huge debate and i don't want this thread to become a huge debate about me!

I hope the people involved in the tragedy will be brave and move on with life and victims in hospital get well and recover.

P.S : im sorry ok, i didn't intend to piss you off, and thanks for del post

I must state that the acident was a terible tradgedy, for wich my condolences to all family and friends. My good mate was close family friend to the driver resulting in a great deal of shock and sadness for him.

Joel from what Ive heard truley was a top bloke as echoed by the 1000 people attending his funeral.

Please do not think that I am speaking ill of the dead or being flipent in saying there is a valuable lesson to be learned here.

From what I was told Joel was at a party and took a couple of mates for a ride he had been drinking. He had only owned his r33 gtst for a few weeks and I was told from the person who got his car started when it got off the boat that it had at least 700hp. This was his first rwd car.

This is a shocking event that has killed two of our peires and changed the life of many. My best wishes to all involved.

Please, drive safley and stay within the limits.

      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)

      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.

      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.

      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.
