Pictures taken from a persons front yard, Dean st 9 October 2007 -A guy driving a Nissan Silvia, just after dropping his mum and sister off down the road, hit a tree, split in half, the front of the car landed in the middle of the road, the back end landed in the front yard of the house across the road. He was still strapped in in the part of the car that landed in the yard. - The battery from the car flew all the way up to the Kerrigan St roundabout, (about 50mtrs up the road)

Would you believe, he got out of this with a mark on his arm (possible fracture) and a bump on the head!

But here's the kicker, The car wasn't his... it was his roommates, and it wasn't insured!

This guy better be thanking his guardian angel, cuz he was sure looked after today!!!

1st pic, the front of the car

I didnt take them, just got them in an email, thought I'd share.

People are their own worst enemy, plain and simple. I remember an incident that could've easily ended up like that if I had been 1mtr to the left or right of a couple of poles sticking out of a traffic island. I was lucky to walk away from it, and so was this guy. Lets hope he learns from it.

wow the way that cars split, lookin at those pics, i'd be thinking it was cut n shut before. doesn't look like it was a huge hit, yet the car's in two.

thats what I am thinking the break is far too straight to not have been welded there before!

isn't that how they make silvia's?

Silvia - 180 - Sil80 - Onevia

they're just pieced together like mechano arent they?

yeah the panels are bolted on and off....not cut trough the chassis and welded back together!

i wouldnt be so sure it has been cut and shut before, i mean u have a very large % of the weight at the front and if u hit it in the right spot i wouldnt be suprised to see it look like that.

Ive seen pics of an enzo (diff ball game entirely i know) but it was split cleanly in half and i doubt it was cut and shut :w00t:

anyways f*k that, atleast no one is dead tho

fraken hell.

how can you even get a siliva up to those kinds of speeds1!!!

lol.. the SR20 is a better motor than the RB20 how does a R32 get up to them speeds bah...

lol.. no the panels are switched over.. acutally to chance a sil to a onvia u only need philips head solder tin snips 10mm spanner and sockets.. takes around 2 hours to do.. same thing to do the sil80.. :w00t:

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
