Anyone who can remember back to the Midnight cruise many months ago will want to see this video. Shows the aftermath and the incident itself. Lets try and not make too much fun of Boostzor or Supras in general. I think the price has already been paid :mad:

The video quality change half way through is thanks to the bad quality tape that the footage was copied to. ie Not My Fault :mad:

Video: DivX 5.0.2 codec

Audio: Uncompressed (I know, I know, MP3 next time)

naysayers!

Yeh s**t happens eh:)

The road was sloped toward the curb and the surface was not really that great. I think i let off a little to much too. Would have been ok if i had of been going a little faster:D hmm im going for drive

Unlucky boostzor... but thats the price you pay for street drift. After I almost put my r33 head on into a light-pole I wont be doing any street drifting from now on, shame wanneroo is so expensive to get on.

So is the supra back on the road after that estimated $5.3k worth of damage? $5.3k spent on the engine would have made a huge difference :D

that sounded bad!!!!!!!! :D

is it just me or is the vid not working?? I wanted to see it but can only listen to it..(?)

shit, sorry to hear that!

You probably need to get some video codecs, most probably Divx ?

Have a look at http://www.divx.com/

Yep all back up and runnin only took two weeks to fix actually:D The end estimate was only around 3.5k as i didnt get brand new parts shipped but got wrecked parts instead. Thank god for insurance:p well due to that and the last incident they are prolly gonna black list me:( may come down to selling the supra due to the ol no insurance problem. Oh well we'll see in march.:D

Big thanks to Gradenko for editing the vid and to Joe for the original footage and "eventually" stopping:lol:

Well as i always say u gotta find what u cant do before u actually find out what u should be doing. I was convinced i was gonna hit the curb on the right so i steered well clear of it. hmm me thinks bit too far.

"fear leads to oversteer, oversteer leads to curb, curb leads to towtruck and towtruck leads to the dark side (aka insurance companies panel beater)"

You know if the insurance company gets hold of that video they will probably cancel your insurance and bill you for the repairs. Videoing people having prangs whilst doing something stupid on the road is all well and good, putting it up so anyone can download it isnt a very good idea.

Hmm good point sooo ahhh..... shhhhh;)

Doesnt really show my plates and i wasnt doing anything that stoopid was i:rolleyes: . Besides, insurance companies arnt stoopid if u looked at the damage u would be able to extrapolate that video anyway pretty much. I told em where it was and they saw the damage so they prolly figured i was doin exactly what i did anyhow. Y do u think i pay 2.5k a year for insurance??? fo incidents like that thats y:D

What explanation for it did you give the insurance company then??? :D

it might not show your plates, but it has some pretty good shots of you expaining what happened to your car haha

I don't do insurance - I figure that I won't be doing 2 1/2 thou worth of damage to my car every year, so cheaper not to have any :P

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
