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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
