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.

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..

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.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
