hope you got a photo...

LOOOOOOOOOOL sucker. f**king clown.

don't be too harsh, we've all done something stupid at one stage - imagine how he feels about having binned the car, let alone the embarrassment... important lesson for him and hopefully teaches not to do that on a public road.

I have no sympathy for ignorant stupidity.

If I did it myself (and I've done similar things, just without any negative outcome), I wouldn't expect anyone to feel sorry for me. Hell, I wouldn't expect anything short of outright ridicule and public embarrassment.

HAR HAR HAR I say! lol

people make mistakes, don't see how rubbing their nose in it post facto makes us worthy of judging, or better people. but that's just my opinion.

A mistake is misjudging a blind corner while driving normally.

Doing something blatantly stupid in such a busy (time depending) place of your own accord and f**king it up is well more than a simple mistake.

Doesn't make us better people at all lol, but I fail to see how they deserve anything but a public mocking for their stupidity. Will teach them more of a lesson than "You made a silly mistake, don't do it again" .... "I know mate, won't happen again. Next time I'll take it in 2nd."

People need to be made to feel bad for doing something stupid, otherwise they'll just make the same mistake again.

That, and I don't give 2 shits for their feelings in these situations lol. Like I said, I'd fully expect to receive exactly what I'm dishing out should roles be reversed.

Everyone has driven like an idiot before, for most we get away with it and some people misjudge it and don't (sometimes this comes down to luck even!).

Making them feel like shit about it doesn't help anyone. Hopefully he learned a valuable lesson.

Making them feel like shit just ensures they learn that lesson.

We're quick to jump up and down with our pitchforks when some f**king clown does something dumb and negatively affects other innocent road users, yet if I dare ridicule the same f**king moron I get told off for it because he got away without hurting anyone else? f**k that. Just because nobody else was involved, does NOT make it any less of a f**k up. Hypothetically speaking, what if the driver did exactly the same thing (and I mean EXACTLY), only in this situation another road user or pedestrian was involved and didn't get out scratch free? Hmm? Would I be allowed to tear the driver a new one then? I'm sure I'd be joined by most of you on here ranting about how much of an idiot he is.

So why should the fact he was LUCKY have any bearing on my opinion of his actions?

Again, f**k the driver lol

I'm with Princess on this. For myself I haven't done anything stupid on a public road (Let alone a track). Going sideways or burning rubber is not what I'm into. Probably the most stupid thing I've done was sped up overtake someone where speed was invovled or the acceleration at the lights upto or pass the speed by 10km (Not excessively speeding).

So being an idiot on the road and then paying for it = deserved it. That's why they have the skid pan, drift clubs and all sorts of other places. The fact he did it on a public road goes to show how stupid some drivers are, and some drivers need to realise that stupidity. In saying all that, I don't go out of my way to judge people except for the "What an idiot" for well.. doing something idiotic.

No smypathy from me.

Yeah im with Troy as well. I used to drift my N/A 32 daily on the way home. If i miss judged a corner or w/e id just accept the fact i was an idiot. If you are doing stupid stuff on the roads never expect sympathy when it goes bad. You read the stories about people that are doing 180km/h in a 100 zone and get wrecked for it. No sympathy, when you do stupid shit something is bound to happen.

TBH i have no idea how i made it through 4 years of not crashing that N/A. O well, im MUCH more careful with the GTR.... Too much money has gone into it now lol

Lol as I was on my way to Sydney on Saturday morning I saw some black hektik-uleh ute beached on a grass mound after clearly losing it in the wet and flying over the gutter (front bar was trashed).

Blonde ganga was looking cold, wet, and miserable standing there...

Didn't feel the urge to comfort said ganga and perhaps provide some company?

GIGGITY!

    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
