I hadn't seen it before but I would have said flywheel as well.

I can see the flycut on it, but I dunno if it has been lightened.

If it has - that bloke needs to get himself a big fistful of lotto tix to celebrate the fact that his feet are still attached.

More of a risk in a front wheel drive car where the flywheel is travelling in a direction towards the driver... People have dieed from this sort of thing. In a rear wheel drive its not so much an issue as the flywheel and clutch assembly is further forward than the drivers position.

Check out the third picture, good bye chassis rail!

When mine shattered most of the energy went up inbetween the firewall and engine, still damaged both rails, hicas and brake lines and everything else in its path.

Luckily the firewall has an extra panel behind it otherwise it all would have come straight thru. The only interior damage I had was from the front propshaft being lodged in the floor below my left leg.

Did you do that out at W.S.I.D on a wednesay? A fair while ago? If so I used to have it on video lol! Certainly wasn't expecting half your car to come flying out the back of your exhaust.. :)

Aww look its final resting place!

I wish half my car went flying out thru the back of my exhaust, would have saved me alot of cash. Speaking of exhausts I picked mine up last friday after getting it repaired from the damage on that night. My rear dump + 021 sensor and entire frontpipe were damaged, now its all nice again.

Here is where it's currently at:

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
