I'll just cut and paste what i wrote on NS.com

The 180 driver said he was doing 95. The cars that were ahead were going slowly in the left lane waiting for the rest of the cruise to catch up. When the 180 was going past, one of the slow cars turned into the right lane without looking causing the 180 to swerve into the left lane where the slow moving RX7 was and hence the lock up and the collision. The driver that turned into the lane and caused the accident just kept driving to the final destination.

But i was there 2 minutes after the accident happened and i didn't see it, this is what the 180 driver was saying.

And yes they are extremely lucky a truck wasn't coming the other way at 90 otherwise there would have been a death for sure.

im just making it sound bad but there were a few cars that did get defected because they are my mates... and yes it was those cars that got into an accident because i know them

Where did they get defected? Was it at the accident scene or before that?

and this is the very reason why i dont go on cruise's

Don't blame you Deano but its a matter of just being picky which ones you go on.

I was originally contemplating this one but got turned off it last minute.

Hope the guy with the 180 has paid up his insurance because it sounds like he'll be held 100% accountable.

Hence why I don't go on cruises like this with questionable skill drivers ....

That is a HUGE hit on the 180SX - like he hit a near stationary object. Why on earth would you go slow in the left lane in a 90 zone anyhow - how dangerous is that???!!! Doesn't matter if they were waiting for others to catch up - they must have been going WAY under the speed limit for damage of that nature. Hella dangerous to themselves and all the traffic around them.

SO HOW WAS THE CRUISE!?!?!!? heard there were a few defects?? wasnt this notified to police as a 'charity' cruise?

Kiet, I am glad u didn't come to our cruise because you are being a dickhead and i don't give a shit about it. Get f**ked yourself and talking out your ass. There are no f**king defect cars and had no trouble with cops. Maybe all of your mate missed out and their 20 cars got defected afterwards? You always making up shit in your posts, threads and forums. Just MOVE ON KIET!!

How was the cruise? Big turn out? Pictures!?

The cruise was going fine as imagined, until an unfortunate mishap occurred resulting in two cars being totaled. We will post up the picture later on at EST forum.

The 180 driver said he was doing 95. The cars that were ahead were going slowly in the left lane waiting for the rest of the cruise to catch up. When the 180 was going past, one of the slow cars turned into the right lane without looking causing the 180 to swerve into the left lane where the slow moving RX7 was and hence the lock up and the collision.

Thanks for clearing it up and Everyone is fine now.

Thanks to those who helped out and my apologies for the incident, that is all.

Mod, Please Close This Thread.

Thanks.

ok seriously kiet u should kinda keep quiet coz u know shit all.

NO CARS GOT DEFECTED

i was in one of those cars that was in the accident and honestly it was caused by the tool in the show blue R34

if he didnt slow down for no reason and then cut infront of my mate while he is doing half the limit and my mate is doing the limit then my mate wouldnt have had to swerve and hit us.

HONESTLY if you werent there i would keep your comments to your self as the two drivers that were involved are the only two people that kno the true story.

and kiet i think u should maybe look at the facts and if your gonna say stuff maybe make sure ur there and kno wat happened

MODS PLEASE CLOSE BEFORE PEOPLE START TALKING MORE SHIT

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
