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.

    • 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.
