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.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
