i got 2

1. wen i was 13 i asked this guy if i could drive his vb commodore, he said no cos it had no brakes. ten minutes after he asked if i wanted to go for a quik drive, i hopped in, we went down the road and as we turned off lights an old couple turned out of a servo. we were going about 30kmh. he was pumpin his brakes but they werent doin shit...slowest accident ive ever had..straight into the old couple..cops came his car got hell defected

2. went thrashing a gemini on a rainy night, fuel gauge didnt work we ran out of petrol in front of a party, tried to gate crash it, friends cam and we filled it with petrol, so mate tried to show off driving up and down pulling handbrakes and shit, then people were outside the party watchin. he pulled a handbrake to try and do a drifty but it loked up and went head on into a tree...i was pissin myself so was the ppl at the party...we just reversed and got the hell out of there...embarrasing for him..funny for me...they wouldve thought this car was stolen

Funniest Accident wasnt me but my friend Melanie .... when she was 13 her mums friend let her take their brand new landcruiser for a drive along the beach .... Mel had no idea how to drive and panicked pressed accelator instead of brake and drove his $70,000 car straight into the ocean ..... and saltwater got into the engine and that was the end of it.

Ive only ever had one accident on my P-plates in my ZX ... i was pulling out onto a street my vision to oncoming traffic was blocked by a bus so i continued to pull out and side swiped a ford telstar .... the damage on his car was sooo small i could hardly see it but it ended up costing me $1,300!! As my then boyfriend said to me at the time "You shouldve given him $50 and said There now i bought your piece of crap"

Ive had a lot close calls - a few spin outs - all in the Zed but road was empty at the time .... a near collision with a traffic pole (dont go thru an intersection sideways kids) oh and the neighbours little mo-fo yapping dog disappeared after running after my car barking and i was too busy wondering where the phuck it had gone and if i had run over it that i ran my ZX into the ditch and blew two tyres .... now i just aim for the little fluff ball!!

But yeah had my R33 for 12 months in August and *touchwood* its all still in one piece :D

jeeez you are one accidental person :D dont worry, heres a close to death story that will make skyline owners quiver few of us guys were just out and about on a midnight drift when one guy was in a dodgy magna and pulled the hand brake putting his car side ways on a straight road not look out for the R33 travelling at 160 right behind him it was 1 inch and i swear only 1 inch from a fatal accident...scarrry shit i was shakking in my shoes after watching that

said i only had one accident - in three years of driving i dont think is that bad :D

Everyone has close calls dont they? haha im actually pretty tame now ive got the R33 .... might cry if i dent it :D

in my old old old first car (81 cortina), i pulled across someone in traffic, he clipped my bumper and took off about 30cm of it, no biggie..

But he damaged his headlight, indicator, front bumper, front quarter panel, two rims, and munched two tyres as he skidded and hit the kerb afterwards.....

... got his name and address, but never heard from him again.

$80 later i had a new bumper :D YAY!

I was driving Boxheads previous R32 in northern NSW, dry conditions around lunchtime. Approached "the" corner under the speed limit, was a 80klm/h turn a third of the way in we hit a bump (caused by roadworks) and the backend stepped out, I got to full opposite lock and hard on the brakes by the time we were heading off the corner backwards.

From here it got worse, the area we were driving in was sorrounded by cane fields, on the outside of the roads is a two meter wide and one meter deep cane drain, as the back passenger side wheel hit that we were launched in the air rolling once, landing on its roof and rolling a couple more times on the ground and finally finishing upside down. Minor injuries, Box had stitches etc on his elbow, I manged to be stabbed in the knee by the car keys and had some glass in my skull. Not as bad as it sounds I didn't even need to see a doctor.

The experience of rolling a car, espically someone else's is as bad as it sounds. Luckily I had recently been made redundant from a job I held for 6 years and received a large payout, which more than covered the excess for the insurance and boxcar upgraded from a 32 GTS N/A Auto to a 32 GTS25T 5spd.

Funniest accident I know of was a mate of mine back in Manchester UK. His Dad owned a chain of butchers shops. They were taking delivery of four new vans from the Ford dealer and stuffed up on numbers of people - they all went in one car and they needed his Dad to sign the cheque. His brother had driven them there and wouldn't let his Dad drive his car back (whatever it was, his pride and joy) 'coz his Dad was such a crap driver. So his Dad gets to drive one of the new vans, which was not planned. So they all go in a line to drive off the dealer's forecourt. The first guy sees big gap in traffic before a bus coming, so pulls out OK. The 2nd guy sees the gap and pulls out OK too, followed by the 3rd guy who sees that the gap before the bus is narrowing fast, but can just nip in. Their Dad, ace driver that he is, thinks all is fine and just follows the first three without looking. The bus removed the front end of the brand new van, writing it off, while the back wheels were still on the dealer's forecourt.

I have always been impressed by this achievement!! Their Dad, only mildly stunned by events, blamed the three in front of him for leading him out when there was not enough room!!!

Wonderful.

My funniest was forgetting to drop the hand brake on a drift and put my car into a box Curb at 130 kph

righto try no to imply to much dangerous driving please.

My only prang, was the company car (pizza shop) i use to work for. it was a manual holden nova hatch, my car at the time was an automatic mitsabishi colt hatch.

parked the nova in 1st gear in the loading bay surrounded on 3 sides by concrete walls. came out to start it totally forgot about the clutch bunny hopped it into the loading bay, twisting the bumper, the bonnet, the right 1/4 panel and smashing the headlight.

now can i park ur car?

Reminds me of the time that i had just bought my first import, a S12 Nissan...

took it to the exhaust shop to get the first of the mods done, then when i went to pick it up i was in such a hurry to hear the new sound i put the keys in the ignition and tried to start it.

The car was parked facing a wall and proceded to throw itself into it.

Needless to say i always check to see if my car is in gear now...

My funniest was a few years ago ..was in the left lane stopped at a set of lights next to a guy on a bike.

The light turned green and as I took off I saw the biker stop and then out of the corner of my eye I saw a blur which turned out to be a car running a red light. This old guy in the other car started going off about me a young guy driving a fast car and taking off through a red light!!!what the???

I figured I was screwed as who would believe the young guy.

At that time the bike rider was writing the license numbers down as I didn't have a pen. He then casually unzipped his rain jacket to reveal a....yes that's right...a policemans uniform:D

The other guy stopped mid sentence and I heard an audible "GULP"

Yes kiddies there is sometimes a policeman around when you need him

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
