Man that article is from January It's a shame but only 3 GT-Rs have been pranged so far as far as anyone knows. 2 majorly in SE Asia and one small minor one in Japan.

You know it wont be the last time Sewid.

If the Donut boys get it wrong in Tassie...welll.. lets just keep our fingers crossed that doesnt happen.

The guy was probably trying to impersonate big Jeremy Clarkson and experience "The Power!!!"

by turning the driver aids off.

So far five have been trashed at Fuji Speedway and three at Tsukuba. Apparently their black box blacks out when things get over a certain limit and sends itself, and the car, into the closest wall.

I seriously doubt that, it may be what the drivers excuse is though

Stephen youre going to have to qualify that comment cause it sounds like bullshit to me.

How can you tell that. Must be a few silver ones going around.

This photo was taken at the Shinagawa NHPC though. I've had that confirmed by someone who went there Friday.

Hmm normally something like that many cars would come up on my radar but I haven't seen anything yet. I'm not doubting you im just wondering how to get more info.

2 which have been reported. One smashed in HK, now one smashed in Malaysia, but yeah, probably more have bitten it as well...

i'm sorry, i'm asian (well half) and when i got to the mostly asian suburbs for food, whatever... IMO the driving is proportional worse than other areas... which i think is more due to what they're use to experiencing, rather than a deficiency of skill. It's not horribly unsafe driving, just 'bad' driving. Not saying all are bad, perhaps that there is an over-representation of bad driving in predominantly asian suburbs

have you driven in Malaysia? that's some scary shit right there my friend... but that's just the normal for that part of the world...

yup i agree, if you have driven in indonesia, Philipina, vietnam or whatever you'll know that it's not 'asian' that can't drive but it's the way they drive, there barely any rule axcept red light...

and they think white boys can't drive either 'coz you guys follow rules..

If the car is being "thrashed" the ECU drops into limp mode.

This has been an issue on one of the US R35's

I would imagine if your right up it and half way round a corner it cuts the power that might be enough to loose it.

Ill guarentee it will be one of the first electronic mods that will become available for the R35 " deactivating Limp mode"

I've thrashed a R35 and it didn't suddenly go into limp mode. 4,000 people have thrashed their R35's and they didn't go into limp mode.

There is a limp mode but it's got nothing to do with thrashing the shit out of the car.

lol, I think you all had a sarcasm meter failure on dodgybrooks post.

Here is how the original car looked before the crash...(note logo on passenger side top windscreen)

Mate of mine in Singapore imported this in and I was due to go chk it out last month when I was there....pity I couldn't make it otherwise this pic would have me standing next to it as a before photo!

Most of the performance bits have already been stripped out..and the owner has another one on order already apparently...

Even as a smashed up lump of tin it still looks purty
