Guys we can chill a bit, it's not going to make mainstream news. I was going past the car in my skyline and was getting big greasers from the cops when i noticed the car upside down in the property. Recognised the lights straight away. Had my camera after coming back from a job, so got some pictures.

Look I don't meant to be too harsh, but... you fu$%ed up. I've F#@$ed up too, my mates have fuc#$d up, shit happens. Just a shame it was done in a 400kw skyline. EG, my mate bounced his 200rwkw S13 off the wall of a bridge, into a pole in a carpark, and then into a parked bus. Another mate rear-ended someone at 140ks dragging a skyline in a similar-specced silvia. Difference is, you didn't hurt anyone and everyone got out OK... not like my mate who won't have his license for a f**king long time and is looking at sharing a cell with Bubba and looking at never being constipated again.

The above scenario may be slightly embellished but the fact remains - some do some don't. Experience driving a 400kw GTR doesn't come from driving it once a week.

RIP One unique GTR

Hey guys, i was the passenger in that car next to the driver.... very scary stuff i walked away with just a couple of grazez on my right elbow, nothing major and both of my mates are doing fine i had a fair bit of petrol on my right leg.. lucky nothing sparked and caught on fire coz it was leaking petrol on the outside aswell while the driver was still stuck inside. I think we must of rolled twice the first being sideways and the 2nd being longways hence how we ended up like that ... we were actually mounted on the brick wall, both of my mates got out through the rear windshield and one of them pulled me out from the front windscreen. Long story short ... it was the shortest but longest test drive i will ever experience, coz it ended fast but then spent another 4 hours in hospital.

Sad to see it go like that coz if that didnt happen i was going to get it.

woah dude! that sounds truely horrifying! i couldn't imagine being in a car like that.. i think it'd take me a very long time to get behind the wheel of any car again!

good to see you're ok, with only some grazes!! have your two mates been released from the hospital as well?!

i say buy a lottery ticket!

Yeh we all got let out of hospital pretty much the same time, i think i got the worst out of us with a small gash on my elbow that didnt need stitches and just a few grazes on my arm.

The cops didn't stop telling us how lucky we were to be able to walk away from it and even be alive!! We got told about 200 times that we were sooo lucky and to go and buy lottery tickets, one of the chick cops complimented me while i was laying on the ground, the other cop goes "youse look good considering what happened" and then she goes "you look very good anyway".. i was just like whaaattt lol

We all can't believe that nothing happened to us.. it feels like we cheated death!!!

After we got out of the hospital we went back to the secure car park that my GTR was at and drove home and we weren't shaking or anything when the accident happened just stunned about what happened and happy everyone was ok.

first of all glad everyone is ok..

Dude.. at 29 "with experience" ... you should have known better.. the freakiest part of this is the sign that says kindergarten... please, stay away from fast cars.. do the community a favour.

I always thought someone would die in that car. Very relieved to hear that everyone got away ok. Just from those photos it looks like it could've been a thousand times worse.

I swear everytime I drive your old RX7 I think I'm gonna kill myself in it. What is it with your monsters?

Glad to hear you all walked away from it. RIP what looks like a very sweet car. But yeah, I can imagine the media having a field day on this one.

QFT.

Giving it stick on cold tyres? Brakes grabby? Anyone with a clue would have worked out what to do with a car like that - take it easy.. especially around a suburban area.

Very lucky nobody was hurt or injured. Sorry to hear of your experience GRKGTR..

wow! people are quick to jump on the attack. i bet if all the comments from people who have gone above the speed limit or have done something stupid in their cars were deleted, this thread would be pretty empty!

glad to hear all parties are ok considering.

GRKGTR I know how you feel mate.....I flipped my old corolla long ways in the air and landed on the roof on to a fence pole ie the fence went through my rear window.

It was one of the scariest things that has ever happened to me......and I wont be forgetting it anytime soon.

I walked away with only a minor concussion and some severe whiplash from the seat belt....

Glad to hear you and your mates are ok though...

Thats an interesting comment, and yes people are quick to say what they're thinking

But you have to admit, 140k's around a corner, with 3 passengers, outside somewhere there would be school kids if it wasnt holidays is asking for trouble

haha no caine...I wasnt...

I got rear ended by an XF falcon.....going WAY past the speed limit..

but in the end due to a "giveway" sign technicality I was at fault :ermm:

It was at a T intersection...I was turning right.

I thought it was ok to go, my mate who was in the car with me thought it was ok to go and a 4WD going towards my left flashed his lights for me to get through the gap and he thought it was alright to go.

So all up three people thought it was cool for me to come out..so I did and I changed to second and accelerated a bit...than BANG got airborne and landed upside down on the roof, everything went in slow motion for me.

Thing is if JUST got out and he rear ended my passenger side rear quarter I would say I was at fault cause there wasnt enough room for me to go, but thing is I turned, fully straightened up, changed to second and accelerated a bit in second than he hit me square from behind....

ehhh its the past....haha but I still get a bit fired up over it cause the cops were so biased towards the other guy.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
