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.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
