Yeh the semi's were cold we just rolled out of the carpark and turned at the lights and withing 15 seconds it had all happened doing about 130 - 140kmh he tapped the brakes around the corner and slid abit one way then more the other then the front right wheel mounted the medium strip and then slid back the other way and slid across ontop of another island (i think) which demolished the rims and then we rolled sideways then again longways which is how the car is in the pics but the car was more on the brick wall hence how i got out of the windscreen, by the way i wasnt driving the car the owner was (i lost my licence due to driving a manual car on auto licence).

If there is anything else anybody isn't clear of just ask me and i'll tell you but i think i covered everything there. :ermm:

Thats an interesting comment, and yes people are quick to say what they're thinking

But you have to admit, 140k's around a corner, with 3 passengers, outside somewhere there would be school kids if it wasnt holidays is asking for trouble

i totally agree with you, but if it was you that did it, the last thing you want, is having all these people telling you what you would already know. thats the only point i am trying to get across. end of the day, it could have been worse but fortunately it wasnt.

meh it could ALWAYS be worse. I don't really think that people are going to show a lot of support to the guys that cause these kinds of accidents.

Still i'm with you on the, thank god it WASN'T worse sentiment.

setting aside the fact it is a 60 zone, i know there are no corners you could take at that sort of speed in that area, semi's or not :ermm:

any crash you can walk away from is a good one. that goes for anyone else involved too.

in a powerful car it only takes a second or two of misjudgement and the stakes are incredibly high. thankfully the worst thing that happened was a beaut piece of machinery was destroyed.

if that car hit someone walking on the foot path would you be saying "if it was you that did it...."??

experience dosnt make up for lack of brain cells, i have no sympathy for the driver.

but i do agree, could have been worse. thank god everyone is ok.

I feel for you mate. in one way I kind of hope you dont have insurance, cause it's bound to affect my premium when it's up for renewal. on the other hand a $30K loss will be hard to swallow. I can see how it happend. It's a momentary lapse in judgement. You have 3 guys in the car looking to buy. they've heard it's got mega killowatts. you know they aren't going to be impressed if you cruise around at 60kmh in 3rd gear at 2200rpm, so you think, I better give it a hit. 1st, 2nd, 3rd all about as fast as you can read them and bang, lift off oversteer, slow to react... lights out. it doesn't excuse what you did at all, but at least I can empathise a little with you. I'm sure you dont need anyone telling what a major f**kup it was.

sorry to see a nice car go like that though. but very pleased no-one was injured.

and GRKGTR why were you buying another GTR if you have no licence? and 2 why did you drive home without a licence? doesn't make sense to me.

Told you nothing would be on the mainstream news. Someone has to die for that!

a hotted up car ends up on it's roof 3kms from the cbd in the countries wealthiest suburb and it's not news worthy? :ermm:

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)

      OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed

      Quick side trip into the engine externals, alternator and PS were in place including tensioned belts, but the PS was dry (my guess is he had the steering rack reco-ed). Filled it up with Transmax Z but it will need more bleeding once the engine is running no doubt. BTW I've said before, I don't know what kind of soft animals you have in the city, but out here they breed the rats tough. I bet they were disappointed when they tasted synthetic ATF.... Coilpacks are Splitfires with a factory loom in reasonable condition. I didn't pull one put I bet the spark plugs are new as its a new engine

      Onto intake pressure test. I have a Raceworks (damn brand thieves!) pressure test adapter that lets you apply pressure through a standard tyre valve and comes with a pressure gauge.....I just blocked off the other end immediately before the throttle body. Applied 30psi....and the turbo intake immediately popped off with a bang. Sorted that but it was still leaking, turns out there is a pinhole leak at the BOV adapter that I'll have to find a local place to TIG up. I'm sure it makes SFA difference with such a small leak but I want it to be right. Everything else up to the throttle body was good. Also cleaned and oiled the KNX cone filter, and this is the AFM if anyone can identify it (car runs a PowerFC)

      I'll send you a message, but until I know what is OK (and anything that isn't) its kind of hard to work out a fair price. BTW I'm just helping out here, ultimately it is Mel's call what she accepts but I know it will go sooner or later.
