Tonight when I was driving round I took a 90 degree turn at a rather brisk pace in 2nd gear in my r33 gtst (~5000-5500rpm i think), the rear wheels may have slid out just a bit but not much. This somehow caused the engine to suddenly cut out along with my power steering and brakes in a carpark at like 60k an hour which wasnt that fun, Im quite sure it occured exactly or exactly after my rear wheels lost traction for a second, it was an empty carpark late at night with no cars or people around btw and yes I know it wasnt the smartest move on my part but it was pretty scary and unexpected. I would like to fix this problem or atleast make sure it doesnt happen again. Does anyone have any idea what could have happened? I definately didnt stall it as it was in 2nd gear the whole time and I didnt touch the clutch, the engine cutout was very smooth and sudden and took me a second to realise, nothing like this has ever happened before also.

Your car picked up you were being a hoon and acting the goat on the road.

It shut itself down,

Read the Skyline Crash thread 2 x critical,

and then think before you post...

This mindset of " I was in a carpark and it was late and there were no cars or people around"

Is exactly why the cops and media are having a field day with us.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
