Yeh the semi's were cold we just rolled out of the carpark and turned at the lights and withing 15 seconds it had all happened doing about 130 - 140kmh he tapped the brakes around the corner and slid abit one way then more the other then the front right wheel mounted the medium strip and then slid back the other way and slid across ontop of another island (i think) which demolished the rims and then we rolled sideways then again longways which is how the car is in the pics but the car was more on the brick wall hence how i got out of the windscreen, by the way i wasnt driving the car the owner was (i lost my licence due to driving a manual car on auto licence).

If there is anything else anybody isn't clear of just ask me and i'll tell you but i think i covered everything there. :ermm:

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

i totally agree with you, but if it was you that did it, the last thing you want, is having all these people telling you what you would already know. thats the only point i am trying to get across. end of the day, it could have been worse but fortunately it wasnt.

meh it could ALWAYS be worse. I don't really think that people are going to show a lot of support to the guys that cause these kinds of accidents.

Still i'm with you on the, thank god it WASN'T worse sentiment.

setting aside the fact it is a 60 zone, i know there are no corners you could take at that sort of speed in that area, semi's or not :ermm:

any crash you can walk away from is a good one. that goes for anyone else involved too.

in a powerful car it only takes a second or two of misjudgement and the stakes are incredibly high. thankfully the worst thing that happened was a beaut piece of machinery was destroyed.

if that car hit someone walking on the foot path would you be saying "if it was you that did it...."??

experience dosnt make up for lack of brain cells, i have no sympathy for the driver.

but i do agree, could have been worse. thank god everyone is ok.

I feel for you mate. in one way I kind of hope you dont have insurance, cause it's bound to affect my premium when it's up for renewal. on the other hand a $30K loss will be hard to swallow. I can see how it happend. It's a momentary lapse in judgement. You have 3 guys in the car looking to buy. they've heard it's got mega killowatts. you know they aren't going to be impressed if you cruise around at 60kmh in 3rd gear at 2200rpm, so you think, I better give it a hit. 1st, 2nd, 3rd all about as fast as you can read them and bang, lift off oversteer, slow to react... lights out. it doesn't excuse what you did at all, but at least I can empathise a little with you. I'm sure you dont need anyone telling what a major f**kup it was.

sorry to see a nice car go like that though. but very pleased no-one was injured.

and GRKGTR why were you buying another GTR if you have no licence? and 2 why did you drive home without a licence? doesn't make sense to me.

Told you nothing would be on the mainstream news. Someone has to die for that!

a hotted up car ends up on it's roof 3kms from the cbd in the countries wealthiest suburb and it's not news worthy? :ermm:

      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.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      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.
