Sorry to hear but that's why p platers shouldn't have powerful cars, I had a modded 33 on my p's and I know now I wasn't ready for it even though I thought I was, not having a go at you or anything just my perspective

I can see that point of view and it reinforces it

But what stops be from doing it in a commo or a na skyline. The speed I was doing it easily reachable by them

It was more along the lines of immaturity and thinking I could take it fast

As I have said since I did it. It wasn't the car it was me nothing else but me

This is very stereo typical... Zac's 33 made 204rwhp. I dont think that cam be classified as a "Powerful" car. Kids will be kids, there are kids getting round is Commodores and Falcons with the same power

Agree entirely here. Its not the car that made this happen it was the actions of the driver accompanied by there driving ability. Ive seen many other young drivers do similar things is smaller & slower cars. Hell I've got a mate that rolled his 4x4 going though a round about too quick.

Strong learning curve thats all

New shell found, going to pay for it Tuesday

Sweet!!! Post pics!

No I agree the car doesn't make a difference but the way it made the power and the mentality of driving a turbo sports car at the age did for me, I wasn't trying to stereotype just going off my own experience, good to hear you've got a new shell

Thanks mate :)

Not anymore I'm like it can go fast but I can't so no thanks

Looking forward to seeing what you've got coming, half considering re-shelling mine as had leaking d2 coilovers in it when I got it and they used to knock really badly so I replaced them with new blitz items, repainted the car( stay away from cameron's bodyworks), 26/30 etc etc and it turns out just in front of the passenger mirror where the front quarter meets the window pillar there's a big crack in the chassis and I don't know how structural it is:-(

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
