I came across this guy yesterday. I think some of you guys have seen this car at JRacing. He swapped his WRX for it on friday. Said he wanted something more fun. Had it for a day, than yesterday he was about 300 metres from his house, went to turn right onto a street and lost control, hit the gutter really hard. Destroyed most of his right hand rear and front suspension not to mention the bodykit and the 19" chromies. I was driving past about two minutes after it happened and the car was still hanging off the gutter. Fortunately the guy and his girlfriend weren't hurt at all just shaken up. We managed to get it off the gutter without causing more damage but than as the spare was rubbing on something sharp it went flat as well so the the car was back on it's belly. I couldn't stay any longer so I wasn't there when the tow truck arrived but I'd hate to think what alse got damaged just getting it on and off the truck. The thing that got me the most was that not one car even slowed down and this happened on a busy street, to check if the poor guy was ok.

Probably because everyone was looking at him as a hoon who got his just desserts.

From the pics provided, there is no sign of the road being slippery - you said yourself that the car has been freshly put together (i'd assume with decent tyres). It simply looks like someone gave it the boot down onto a high traffic road and is now paying the price.

So how did he end up almost wrecking the car?

Its harsh to say he deserves it, going from AWD grip to RWD would be a bit of a step but id think youd take it slowly and NOT WITH YOUR GF IN THE CAR IN YOUR OWN STREET!!!!

what a clown. hope its written off and he learns from it.

shouldnt be doing shit like that in a built up street, saying that I cant see any black marks on the road... Full story needed before I call it.

I am no angel but tend to pick more appropriate areas.

On a track, yes.

On dirt out in the sticks, yes.

Driving it out of an intersection - You're a f**king idiot.

I have no qualms with people giving their car some stick, just as snooze said - pick a semi-appropriate place, a busy road isn't one of them.

saying that I cant see any black marks on the road

My Sport Maxx's don't leave lines - well don't appear too. I would assume they might if you smoked them.

Let he who has never sinned cast the first stone.

We all learn from our lessons some a little harder then others.....

dont judge just appreciate that noone was hurt and that it wasn't your car.

Nice looking car, thought it was going to be style32s car when i first saw the thread :X . Hopefully this guy learns from his mistake. Best thing i ever did was crash, before that i was pretty much a retard at the wheel (when i was getting my tattoo done in batemans bay i was doing the trip in a bit over an hour in my old accent and once overtook a 10 car line of cars behind a truck down the clyde mountain...) but crashing showed me that im not invincible and now i always think twice and am too much of a pansy to want to try anything remotely dangerous in a car, just glad i didnt directly (actews fault for not securing the pole after an hour of staring, not mine) hurt anyone before that.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
