I'm the individual responsible for destroying Boxhead's R32.

Im sure most of you are expecting the story to relate to dangerous driving and speed. But both Michael & I know I wasn't speeding and it was just an accident.

So what happened??? as we approached the corner I braked and released. Then midway through the rear was upset and broke free, I counter steered as best I could but we slid sideways into a white refelective marker post and then into a cane field drain, the car started rolling and came to rest on its roof.

As far as injuries go, both Mic and I got ourselves out of the wreck and walked away. I must say today Im feeling it, for those who don't know I'm a big boy over 6ft tall and as you can see from the pictures there aint much headroom left. The fact that we rolled twice and neither of us even required stitches should give some idea of how we werent speeding. (of course if the drain hadn't been there we would have spun off into a dirt field and driven home)

So I now owe Micheals mum a sum of money, which it took a while to sink in but I now realise how lucky I was not to owe her a son.

To finish of the night I get fined for Neglegent driving, $180 and 3 points. I must say I've know friends in single car accidents in QLD and they havent been fined, I didn't cause damage to anything apart from Mic, Myself and his car. I dont get that?

So ends the post I had hoped to never have to write

yes... i would like to ad now that karl has said his peice.. that it was a culmination of things not in our favor that added up to what happened, happening, to be honest, i dont think anything else could of happened to us... thanks karl for doing what you did to try and come out of it... you did your best. and thats all that can be asked...

also, insurance shjouldnt be a problem for me, but it might be for mum, never had a claim till i got this car, 2 claims in about 2 and a bit months lol...

also i saw the car today in smash repairs joint, sadly car has gone to skyline heaven.. but i think that karl having such a strong head saved him :) coz lookin at it i had to move seat back a bit to fit... im glad were both ok. the car is replacable to some means... human lives are not...

Michael

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
