A DRIVER was trapped in the wreckage of his car for more than an hour today in Canberra as emergency crews cut the roof off the vehicle to free him.

The man, aged in his 20s, suffered a broken leg after his Nissan Skyline was wrapped around a light pole about 5am (AEDT).

A male passenger was treated at the scene for minor injuries before both men were taken to Canberra Hospital.

It took almost an hour to remove the driver from the vehicle because his legs were trapped, a spokesman for the ACT Emergency Services Authority said.

A spokesman for the Australian Federal Police's ACT division said the accident was under investigation and the driver would be tested for alcohol levels when his condition permitted.

No other vehicle was involved in the accident.

Hope it wasnt anyone here!

I'm suprised that the media bandwagon hasn't jumped right back onto the whole "killer Skyline" thing or the "reckless P plater" thing to bring us more coverage of the crash...It seems that everyone knows everyone,or someone who does,in Canberra-it's a suprise that we haven't found out which car/driver it was.Whilst I wouldn't wish ill of anyone injured in any car crash,if the small bit of media we've heard holds any truth about the alcohol level of the driver,well...

page seven of the canberra times...

it's a two tone series I 33, gold(ish) wheels from what i saw in the photo. wasn't YGT25T was it? said the driver was a 25yr old from dunlop, cause of the crash was alcohol and speed, going too quickly around a corner.

the car wrapped itself on a wooden electrical pole on the center pillar driver's side, firies cut off the roof of the car

saw the pic: i think its pretty much silver, not a whole done to it from the looks, body is stock and nothing really special, although it now has a side-mount telegraph pole.

i hav'nt seen it before and i think i can safely say its none of us.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
