Care to share the story behind this?

Hills run through Reefton spur last night, wet roads, moss etc.. Lost it mid corner and spun into guard rail. Crash happened at or below speed limit, luckily the dude walked away not even a scratch.

Very lucky driver then

At or below speed limited and ended up over the Armco.. Sounds unlikely

You're driving through the hills, Speed Limit != Safe Speed, if you're on the limit of grip and something goes wrong it doesn't matter if you're doing 20 under the speed limit, you can't suddenly get more grip to recover...

So he was going too fast for his car / skill level if he rolled it over guard rail.

Any idea what is on the other side of the car? Did he managed to land the car right there and narrowly avoid a 50m drop? If so, awesome :D

Yeh, was most likely driver error, was more eluding to the fact that I don't think he was intentionally driving recklessly, just lost it and couldn't recover. 10ft embankment behind the rail, so nothing too exciting!

Saw this other day, been on gummers for a while.

I've set my eyes on a gtr up in Brisbane but having trouble getting time off work til after Easter :/

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
