You're very kind Liam. Hope you had a great day! I rolled up at about 11 thinking that all the tarmac spots would surely be taken. Our family only wished to stay for a couple of hours because Maria wa

exiting corner and the rear slid out unexpected and the road was a little patchy and moist, so it oversteered heaps towards a parked truck so i counter steered and the car then did a 180 and slid straight into the kerb then onto the grass then all was lost as the grass was thick and wet aka slippery as ice. i basically blacked out after that..

once i got out i realised the car slid between 3 or 4 trees (quite a narrow gap) then got sideways and the rear (where the petrol tank and driver side wheel is) slammed into the tree prettty hard which spun the car the other way til eventually we stopped.

couldnt believe it. it's about as unlucky as u can get. basically dont know what to do or say. i just hope no one else loses their car like this..

front of the car is still fine except the front bar, but the impact with the tree on the rear ***ced everything up - chassis got bent but the front half -basically from the driver side up is fine, and the other side of the car is fine too. wheels were all pointing in diff directions except the front passenger side) that's all i saw in the dark til it got towed away.

sorry to hear rukus...you yourself sound pretty lucky.

hope ur ok.

yeah.

any deviation from the path it took on the grass could of been deadly..

if the tree hit a foot to the right, then i would of gotten slammed pretty hard, but i got lucky i suppose... :

now i just hope 'just cars' covers the car..

saw a black r33 gtst with gtr bodykit and some nice looking wheels (CRO22Z)... thought i would get to see the back end of the car for quite some time coz the cars on epping road at around 2pm today weren't moving at all for some reason... BUT the driver decided to put on a fabulous display of handbrake u-turn at one of the traffic light and went back the way he came...

my question is.... was that really necessary in front of all those cars???????????? (people in the next car were shaking their heads...)

good to see you both were able to walk away!  so sad that the line is in such a state, but its worth the price for both your lives....

be safe peeps!

ye i was going to put it up for sale on sunday.. didnt plan on losing it like this tho :

anyways, i think i might go for an r32 next. after driving a skyline, i dont think i can settle for just any old car :)

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
