It is hard to tell for sure being night, but the GTR driver looked way out of his depth.

Lucky he crashed at that early stage of ownership - otherwise a tree would have

killed him on another road. It was the car committing suicide rather than put up

with the owner.

as for the evo driver, he shouldn't be bragging about his role in it all.

well the evo was pretty rapid and sounded pretty tough too. considering the R35 driver nearly understeered off the road on at least 2 corners during the run you'd think those brown moments would have caused him to have a little think about what he was doing and draw the conclusion that he was way out of his depth and driving at speed well above his skill level and just pull things back a notch and drive normally. but for some reason his brain doesn't seem to have that capacity. the real crime here is the knob will probably just file an insurance claim and get a new one which of course comes out of the pocket of all the sensible drivers his insurance company insures.

I'd say he didn't engage the 'driver has a brain' mode and he also forgot to switch on the 'stop car understeering when entering corners too fast' mode. also VDC can't save you from understeering into a wall.

'DHAB' mode was only available in JDM models :P

the guy says his evo was stock

NOTE!!! my evo is STOCK!!!, i have a straight pipe from the cat back, used tein flexs with semi blown valves, and a k&n air filter, not intake, just filter. running azenis tires. NO MOTOR MODS, STOCK HORSEPOWER.

lol. VDC off. TRC off. DHAB off.

You know in one part where the car was lit up by headlights I could swear the bloke driving it looked like mines_datsun... and I swear that wall had a queue of people standing behind it waiting for a bus... coincidence? I think not.

They all claim that,

Though it doesn't really matter what you drive, its the driver.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
