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:

      There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:

      And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.

      Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.

      I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.

      Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.
