i managed this one driving from nelson to christchurch on xmas eve 2008. happened at almost bang on midnight. it was a textbook case of mid engine oversteer really. i had always been used to nice stable handling cars such as skylines and had driven this road countless times before, turns out having a mid engine car requires you to change your driving habits a little.

the car went sideways mid-corner and passenger side connected with a rock and flipped the car over on its roof. i have very limited memory of it happening. came out of it with a broken arm and some cracked ribs. the investigation estimated my speed at 113km/h. "sure officer, yea lets call it that."

i was pretty stupid really. if there was a passenger, they would have been toast.

did just the same in my sw20

Oh yes the silvia.......................

Well this was back in June 2004 driving along and something fell off the rear end , possibly a wheel? - then proceeded to slide sideways for an eternity and then met a freindly pole ~ The driver was fine (For a Fu#$kwit) i was hospitalised for 6 months and off work for 2 years,Im pretty good now.

The pics were taken after the car was towed back to my oldies house.

Now i do hope that everyone was ok in this one. I found it on the pickles website today. But i have to say that it was always going to happen when you decided to "decorate" your vehicle like that. People WANT to ram into you.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
