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.

Hey mate,

I was getting my licence back in 4 weeks and i didn't drive my car there or back... my mates did and driving a car with mega kilowatts fast doesnt impress me at all.. i have been in a 450awkw GTR and i was loving life and didnt even go above 3500rpm.. also i knew all about the car when Morgs was first trying to sell it... i would of bought it off him but lacked the $$$$$$.

Stupid, nothing but stupid. Yes we have all broken the speed limit, yes we all give our cars a bit of a push here and then. But to do it in a 60 zone, residential area with a child care centre too - nothing but STUPID.

I can't believe people are asking if he has insurance etc... It's a piece of metal (yes i love my car too) but its a car at the end of the day. I have 2 young children as well, i'm just imagining them outside that centre now, no offence - i hope you get the maximum penalty for such a stupid act.

seriously, can all the do-gooders go aply for parking maid jobs kthanks.

dont sit there and preach about how dumb this guy is. the fact you all probably own a skyline means you like what they do heheh

and as nick said, lucky it was school holidays.

also. im not sticking up for him. if he was ignorent enough not to know about semi slicks then this is proof enough. ive driven up/down there heaps. its a nasty corner that tightens and is off camber. doing it in 3rd on boost is beyond me.

its a royal ACIDENT. not a ON-PURPOSE.

im all to familiar with the fact that shit happens. its a gtr with heaps of snappy t04z power.

unfortonatly the cops arnt gonna like us much anymore.

and oh.... if they have any idae THEYL BE READING THIS AND USING IT FOR EVIDANCE. so be careful on what you guys say in regard to the details of the acident.

once again SEMIS STRIKE AGAIN. im glad no one was badly hurt

as much as i have to say it, what did ya expect, doing those speeds on the roads, there is no excuse for it, and i can justify why the cops hassle so many people. obviously it will make ya think twice about doing it, but roads are for driving on, there not for going fast like a race track.

glad too see everyone is ok, thats a good sign.

but yeah. to tru. ive done some stupid shit before, it really is luck of the draw. its only taken me 4 years to realise that im not that good a driver and cant predict what all the other drivers will do.

leason learned.

an oh.. dont be a menace to society is on foxtel :ermm:

Well after being in an accident like that, you don't really wanna get back into a high-powered car the next day. If you were in my position ... (almost getting your head crushed by a brick wall and from the roof just missing our heads thank god for the seats) you might just know why i want one... coz its just a genuine cruising car plus summer is coming up and it will be less than the $4,500 insurance i pay for my GTR now and much better on fuel.

not preaching to anyone, you can give it here and there, thats fine..

but 140 on a crappy road?

no accident is on purpose, thats why they are called accidents and as you said, we've all done stupid things but most people could stop and think about what they are doing, for example putting your passengers lives on the line.

The driver had 3 passengers well potential buyers.. Mate if i was a potential buyer and i saw you thrashing the car what do you think i would be thinking? Thats f**ken stupid. Yes you've been driving for a while but you should of known better, your f**ken lucky there was no kids.. I hope you learn your lesson because it's people like you and faggets that take their dads cars and smash into poles and ruin it for everyone.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
