I Smashed My Gtr Real Bad.

MINES,

I'm not one to judge, however going by your history & postings... you do come across young, immature & a little reckless. We've all been there 18 - 25, some a little more reckless than others. Until something lifechanging happens, & if common sense prevails we'll learn from our mistakes.

Being sympathic isn't going to help you... common sense, maturatiy & understanding truely how short life is WILL.

Well incidents like this are just starting to re-inforce my growing believe that no p-plater should EVER be able to drive a GTR (or maybe even a GTS-T for that matter). I am all for people having personal freedom for doing what they want, but this sort of thing is getting beyond a joke. It just makes things worse for

everybody else out there, those who have had the years of driving experience to be able to drive a powerful car and keep it on the road.

Could have been worse, and you're pretty damn lucky. If that pole had been 40cm closer on your drivers door, I doubt you'd be here posting about it today. You would have simply become another "statistic" to help the government enforce stricter and stricter penalties for drivers out there who drive within their limits.

p.s. enjoy driving the gemini, because a GTR (or any skyline) is definitely not worthy for you

Your attitude since joining these forums has been not only personally irritating but also extremely immature. Your accident only reinforces my feelings.

**** me some of you guys must have no hearts at all. How could any of you wish he was hurt in the accident, you think that would teach him anymore of a lesson

Heart? I think the majority of older or more mature people on here get sick of reading about dickheads doing dumb things in skylines. This just makes public perception worse and makes more difficult to drive a car we really like driving who don't be stupid about it.

While, yes, maybe that is self centered, but also really I think everybody *does* have the interests of these people best at heart, and preventing them from killing themselves (or worse, others!) on the roads! Nobody wants that, so hence the anger.. Its sad that sometimes the only way certain types of people learn is by being yelled at, or ****ing up badly.

He WAS lucky that is for sure. Now he needs to LEARN from this. If he is like other certain people I know he WONT for many years.

I can understand the anger from reading about this sort of thing all the time, but theres no need to go down to the level of wishing someone was hurt.

I think most people wouldnt learn anything from being yelled/flamed at, it might make em think about it for a little while, but they are only going to go back the way they were.

However something like this would really hit home though, and its something you would think about ALL the time when your driving, unlike some angry dood on a forum having a go at you.

Why carnt use just leave it for the track ?

you could have killed any inocent by standers, which would have great impact on their families as well as yours.

The main thing is your ok.

mmmm, just found this thread, Merli you are a classic. There are a lot a conflicting views here, and although glad to here know one was hurt, anyone who says they couldn't see that coming is kidding themselves. I agree, I have done my fair share of stupid stuff but when I was it was in a 998cc mini which took about 1/2 an hour to get to 100k. Driving a car as powerful as a GTR takes a hell of a lot more responsibility and if you don't have it you shouldn't drive one, as you can see the results.

Besides you have to expect to be flamed a little when you have stirred as many people as you have with some of your posts.

Thats a complete write off. I didnt even need to look at the pic in full size.

Glad nobody was hurt but its pretty simple really, drive like a dickhead in ANY car let alone a GTR and results like this are to be expected.

You my friend learnt the hard way. For a second time.

What was he trying to prove at 2am in the morning I will never understand?

It's that six degrees of seperation thing: "Fool's and fast cars will soon part"

Almost Boasting that he smashed a GTR in the first post with a title like "I Smashed My Gtr Real Bad." and "this is the second time i have totaled a car" Sounds like the only lesson he learnt is how to smash a GTR "real bad" and hopes that the people of sau will offer some comforting advice, Well.... here it is "A GTR is not a TOY, it is, and always will be a weapon in the hands of the inexperienced driver" and you have just proved that you are just that "inexperienced" for that matter any driver at 20 is inexperienced to handle such a powerful car.

What about the bus stop? Sure it was empty, but if it wasn't you probably would be in jail.

My advice to Mines Datsun is the same as Rezz's comment and do us all a favour and "stay out of skylines" until your value for your life is greater than your will to push the pedal down hard.

MEGA

I find myself in general agreement with ph1, and others.

I've just been looking for insurance, and incidents like this are the reason most often given for the high cost. Ypoung kids get hold of high performance cars, then crash them and write them off. So the rest of us have to pay.

There are no accidents - there are consequences of bad decisions. The kid gunned it round a corner. What do you expect might happen.

And this being the second car he's written off - I think hemust have a death wish.

That said, it's always encouraging that only his pride was injured.

    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
    • curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.
    • S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
