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 :/

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
