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 :/

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
