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.

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
