Yeah this was me...

It was pretty bad, the 34 has seen better days. Lost control of the car at only about 50 on the round about.. Im still trying to figure out what happend.. if there was something like oil on the road or what. got mild concusion from the accident hitting my head on the b-pillar but Im all ok.

The 34 was smashed up pretty bad, both rims are bowed. the front suspension arms are all gone. the engine is good and and cooler.. the only thing that burst was the water resovior for the window washers. the rear right fender as seen better days.. The worst damange is the rear where the impact cut the fuel lines and all other lines back there alot of eletrical for some reason.. dont know why there was so much electircal wiring near the fuel lines on this car.. but they were all cut.. the fuel tank wasnt ruptured at all. and the exhaust system is fine.. with the the car on a hoist that night.. the steel undear the car is ripped.. actually torn into and I can see into parts of my boot from underneat. the estimated repair at the moment is around 15g and thats with second hand parts..

Just want to say there was a white R33 that stopped to help and a green 200sx. Thanks for stopping guys was really apprecaited..

Hey bro.. I will sms you my number..

I need help with parts mostly.. a rear halfcut is probably going to be needed.. so if you know anywhere to source parts that would be great man..

Cool cool... you at work today?

Ill try all the places I get my parts from and see how much they want for a rear cut, I doubt its going to be cheap though :) Will let you know

Thanks all for the well wishes.

Leech the car only had third party on it at that present time the switch over back to comp was not until 2 weeks.

No not at work today amaru.. The car is at Daves shop if you want to check it out.

I still dont understand what happend as I was only going at 50-60kms.. the car behind me said there were sparks coming from the rear rims.. yet both rear tires were fine.. so im at a loss.. there wasnt enough body roll for the rims to scrap..

Im not saying im the best driver in the world.. but Im used to throwing that car around alot and it felt completly different when this happned.. when it snaped back the lift side was thrown so hard it lifted the car off the ground for a moment and slammed into the railing.

the police at the scene stated that was not going very fast well withing the limit and they couldnt find the cause. I was hit with neg driver $150 fine.. not that they money makes any difference to the cost of repairing the car...

oh well live and let learn I guess..

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
