Indeed there was..! a pretty unlucky night! 3 spins!!

first spin was Nissaner (GTR)...spun on a right hander..!! lucky bastard....! did abt a 180 but hit nufn!

I was the car behind him!!

Second spin, came only a couple corners later on the first sector..! R32 gtst..! ended up with some front and rear body damage..! I was the car in front of him that time

3rd and worst came..in 3rd sector..! Myy800 (as pictured above), spun and hit his front againts the barrier and then hit the back too!! Again I was the car directly behind him.

The type R came out of the spin pretty bad..!! but managed to limp it home after some Rally style modifications and without 1st, 3rd or 5th gear.! Lucky he had a 6th gear to use on the freeway..!

I guess it was just one of those nights...! I think we all jus pushed it just that much harder..! For the first sector before any accidents we had like a s15, Clio, type R, GTR, R33. R32, integra vti-r all up each others ass..! all going hard..!

Man maybe I'm unlucky or sumfn..!

I'll post up some fotos here soon guys.!

btw xrsist where did u hear abt it!

damn Yeek... sorry to hear.. shouldn't take it so hard.

lucky I wasn't there, but I wouldnt have taken it that hard anyways, just got my car back so don't want nuffin to happen to it.

lucky GTR, most expensive car there and didn't hit nuffin...

oh well, hope you guys get your car fixed with the least possible $$$..

omigod guys this really pains me to hear.. 3 smashes in one night man? what were u guys thinking??after the first spin u all should have slowed down..

but u kept pushin? have u guys got rocks in the head?? no offence but this is the exact reason cops are now patrolling this road alot more than before.. cause there are ppl out there who dont know there limits.. ive been doing the OPH quite regularly for about 2 years now.. and cant believe how hard some ppl push it and it always ends in trouble.. why do u do it to ureself.. cant u guys go on the track and loose it there so u know where the limits of ure cars are??

no offence guys but that is just absolute stupidity to have 3 smashes in one night.. and im not telling u to drive liek a granny.. anyone knows me.. knows how quick i can do the oph.. but learn the road.. and learn ure cars.. there is nothing wrong at the rear of the pack.. at least u have a car to drive home..

at this rate there will soon be a fatality guys.. please be carefull and do ure share of racing on the track before pushing a car on the oph, natio run or whatever..

:):D;)

Yeah well..! first one didnt even touch the sides and the R32 only had minor body damage..! It was the third smash that was bad..!

and yeah the type R that smahsed has had a lot of OP experience..! knows the roads pretty well.! it wasnt a problem with knowledge of the road..! it was more a problem in the drivers head..! distractions in life..! but yeah...not all of us have the time to go to the tracks...or can afford to go all the time..! I disagree with ur comment in that I dont think u need to do ur fair share of track b4 OP..! I agree that u need to learn ur limits and learn the roads..! I mean, wen i first started I took it heaps easy and learnt the car and the roads..! Last nite marcus came but he was near the end as he was jus learning his car..! we encourage ppl to only take OP as hard as they are comfortable with...and not push it past that. All drivers make mistakes at some time in their driving life and most drivers have accidents...whether it be their fault or someone else's. When u race on the streets, u are more prone to have an accident...true?? Of course, more expereince and better driving limits the risk..but the risk is still high...the guys at the front were there because they were the faster drivers and more experienced..! I persoanlly ask every driver jus b4 the beginning of OP where they wanna go and see how hard they wanna go..! We ask ppl that want to go slow or are learning their cars to go behind those that are faster so the slower ppl do not feel pressured to drive fast.

It is a split second choice we each individually make....through each corner...and I can bet u that there have been some corners u have taken that may have been the wrong choice and may have caused an caused some sliding. Maybe by luck or skill made it out of the corner with no damage but still..u cannot say to me that there hasnt been near misses. These near misses sometimes turn into an accident....! This accident was not one of pure careless idiotic driving...the driver has had experience on OP and taken it many times before. He was driving near his limit, true...but that one corner...was a bad choice..! his tyres are really crap...maybe he might have gotten out of that spin on another day..but last night he spun it and hiot the barrier!

Accidents do happen wen u race on the streets, and u do ur best to limit the accidents by learning ur car and learning the track, but there are always times when that wrong choice is made and we have to live with those choices and hope that no one makes a choice leading to a fatality. No matter how fast u r going, how great u are at driving, or how well u know ur car!!!! There are too many factors involved in street racing!

don't i know that too well...

hey, sh1t happens and it was just hard luck it happened three times last night. it's all good in the end if no one is hurt. who gives a crap about a hunk of metal

Unfortunately accidents happen everyday due to many reasons,

rain, tyres, driver error, road condition etc etc. As with anything,

if things happen more in a certain area the cops will be onto it.

Rac33r, sorry. I didn't mean to stir anything was just curious on

exactly what happened to warn others on here of a particular

part. Maybe a weather change affected a certain section of the

road? With this cold weather and the water i've seen on that

road I can definately see something like that happening.

As ONARUN said, glad no one got hurt.

I overheard a conversation.

nah man...u didnt stir nefn up..! hehe..! all good..! Neither did URMINE..! jus thought I wud give my point of view on accidents..! hehe! Yeah tyres cud have been a factor..! But I think that was it..I took the corner right behind him just as fast and was okay..! I was jus saying that accidents occur to the best of drivers..!! obviously a lot less to the best..but sometimes u are jus pushing that fine line between an accident and a fast corner and u may come out of it the worst...just thought I would remind pplz of this fact..! and that this is the "racers life"....deal with it...!

But it was dry..! but yeah normally second sector is pretty damp if it had rained anytime in thelas tcouple of days..! yeah i know wot u mean..like if the road is a darker colour..be careful..! but yeah I thought the road was quite dry.!

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
