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.

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.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Any recommendations on a decent replacement manifold that doesnt break the bank or require additional mods for the stock turbo setup? I figure if I'm going to pull the manifold off anyway to fix the studs might as well replace it.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      So I checked the turbo out today. Very minimum play at all just enough for the oil to take up when it's running. I did find an exhaust leak at the manifold. 1 stud all the way in the front is missing and the one all the way in the back is broken off. Front has visible signs of an exhaust leak. I'll fix that soon but that's not my problem still.  I also found that the nipple coming off the turbo had the hose capped off and a hose ran from the j-pipe by the bov going to the wastegate. I removed that hose and capped that nipple and put the turbo nipple hose back on the wastegate.  There was a ton of oil residue all through the charge side of the intercooler piping going to the throttle bodg. I'm thinking that's from the pcv. Doesn't seem to be coming from the turbo that was all clean on the pipes side.  Haven't had a chance to check fuel pressure yet, haven't had time been having to pull a lot of doubles at work. I did pick up some carb cleaner to clean the iacv but wanted to make sure I had a fresh gasket in case the old one rips when I pull it off.  I'm waiting on a MAF that was supposed to be here today but delayed to Monday. Have a double Monday and Friday and work all of next weekend so going to try to find some time in the middle of the week to try that out. Did about a 10m trip around the block today and towards the end the issues were coming back. Fingers crossed on this MAF but if not just going to throw a fuel pressure gauge in and see where I'm at.  Did notice today that I can definitely hear the injectors pulsing. Very audible clicking coming from them. Assuming that's normal? Should also mean CAS is functioning somewhat properly. After it warmed up when I started it the intermittent misfires came in again. Did start doing that before it was fully warmed up.

      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.
