Finally got some web space so I can put these pics up. They are fairly Hi-res so dial-up users grab your panties. There pics were a result of rain, oil and bad tyres. One thing I can’t stress enough is keep an eye on your tyres. There had plenty of meat on them but were waaaay to old and hard (cracked around the walls) and as a result were like ice skates in the wet. Should have could have but didn’t change em.

Yeah was a while ago now. Was the ONLY day I ever drove my car to work as I had a expo in the city latter that day and I thought it would be nicer to drive than the Daewoo. Had a boot full of Hard disks and CR-RW Drives too! Anyways it had just started to spit as I left work, it had been dry for about 4 or 5 days now.

I caught the lights about 100 meters down the road and when I took off I noticed the wheels spun as soon as I touched the pedal and I was driving like my Mum. The lights led up to a long left hand sweeping corner and I was doing about 50-60ish as I’d just taken off. As I exited the corner the arse end of the car decided it wanted to keep going and kicked out to the right.

First I though “Oh sh*t this is going to cane my rims but to my surprise it jumped straight over the gutter with ease. As soon as hit the grass it was over. All I could do was watch the pole, then the tree race towards the car and what you see was the result. Had the tyres tested after the accident and I was told they were a disgrace. He was surprised I could get traction in the wet at all.

Anyways the car damage was medium. The engine was fine but it had damaged the right hand chassis rail. Was quoted 22k in parts alone (New parts from Nissan of course) and the car was only insured for 29k so it was a repairable write off. I ended up selling the car for 10k after buying it back for 8k plus the insurance so it worked out ok in the end but was one big nightmare let me tell you! Oh yeah and I was fine apart from a mushy nose and bad nerves when people drive like Di*k heads I the wet because you NEVER know what can happen. :D

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
