Guys we can chill a bit, it's not going to make mainstream news. I was going past the car in my skyline and was getting big greasers from the cops when i noticed the car upside down in the property. Recognised the lights straight away. Had my camera after coming back from a job, so got some pictures.

Look I don't meant to be too harsh, but... you fu$%ed up. I've F#@$ed up too, my mates have fuc#$d up, shit happens. Just a shame it was done in a 400kw skyline. EG, my mate bounced his 200rwkw S13 off the wall of a bridge, into a pole in a carpark, and then into a parked bus. Another mate rear-ended someone at 140ks dragging a skyline in a similar-specced silvia. Difference is, you didn't hurt anyone and everyone got out OK... not like my mate who won't have his license for a f**king long time and is looking at sharing a cell with Bubba and looking at never being constipated again.

The above scenario may be slightly embellished but the fact remains - some do some don't. Experience driving a 400kw GTR doesn't come from driving it once a week.

RIP One unique GTR

Hey guys, i was the passenger in that car next to the driver.... very scary stuff i walked away with just a couple of grazez on my right elbow, nothing major and both of my mates are doing fine i had a fair bit of petrol on my right leg.. lucky nothing sparked and caught on fire coz it was leaking petrol on the outside aswell while the driver was still stuck inside. I think we must of rolled twice the first being sideways and the 2nd being longways hence how we ended up like that ... we were actually mounted on the brick wall, both of my mates got out through the rear windshield and one of them pulled me out from the front windscreen. Long story short ... it was the shortest but longest test drive i will ever experience, coz it ended fast but then spent another 4 hours in hospital.

Sad to see it go like that coz if that didnt happen i was going to get it.

woah dude! that sounds truely horrifying! i couldn't imagine being in a car like that.. i think it'd take me a very long time to get behind the wheel of any car again!

good to see you're ok, with only some grazes!! have your two mates been released from the hospital as well?!

i say buy a lottery ticket!

Yeh we all got let out of hospital pretty much the same time, i think i got the worst out of us with a small gash on my elbow that didnt need stitches and just a few grazes on my arm.

The cops didn't stop telling us how lucky we were to be able to walk away from it and even be alive!! We got told about 200 times that we were sooo lucky and to go and buy lottery tickets, one of the chick cops complimented me while i was laying on the ground, the other cop goes "youse look good considering what happened" and then she goes "you look very good anyway".. i was just like whaaattt lol

We all can't believe that nothing happened to us.. it feels like we cheated death!!!

After we got out of the hospital we went back to the secure car park that my GTR was at and drove home and we weren't shaking or anything when the accident happened just stunned about what happened and happy everyone was ok.

first of all glad everyone is ok..

Dude.. at 29 "with experience" ... you should have known better.. the freakiest part of this is the sign that says kindergarten... please, stay away from fast cars.. do the community a favour.

I always thought someone would die in that car. Very relieved to hear that everyone got away ok. Just from those photos it looks like it could've been a thousand times worse.

I swear everytime I drive your old RX7 I think I'm gonna kill myself in it. What is it with your monsters?

Glad to hear you all walked away from it. RIP what looks like a very sweet car. But yeah, I can imagine the media having a field day on this one.

QFT.

Giving it stick on cold tyres? Brakes grabby? Anyone with a clue would have worked out what to do with a car like that - take it easy.. especially around a suburban area.

Very lucky nobody was hurt or injured. Sorry to hear of your experience GRKGTR..

wow! people are quick to jump on the attack. i bet if all the comments from people who have gone above the speed limit or have done something stupid in their cars were deleted, this thread would be pretty empty!

glad to hear all parties are ok considering.

GRKGTR I know how you feel mate.....I flipped my old corolla long ways in the air and landed on the roof on to a fence pole ie the fence went through my rear window.

It was one of the scariest things that has ever happened to me......and I wont be forgetting it anytime soon.

I walked away with only a minor concussion and some severe whiplash from the seat belt....

Glad to hear you and your mates are ok though...

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

haha no caine...I wasnt...

I got rear ended by an XF falcon.....going WAY past the speed limit..

but in the end due to a "giveway" sign technicality I was at fault :ermm:

It was at a T intersection...I was turning right.

I thought it was ok to go, my mate who was in the car with me thought it was ok to go and a 4WD going towards my left flashed his lights for me to get through the gap and he thought it was alright to go.

So all up three people thought it was cool for me to come out..so I did and I changed to second and accelerated a bit...than BANG got airborne and landed upside down on the roof, everything went in slow motion for me.

Thing is if JUST got out and he rear ended my passenger side rear quarter I would say I was at fault cause there wasnt enough room for me to go, but thing is I turned, fully straightened up, changed to second and accelerated a bit in second than he hit me square from behind....

ehhh its the past....haha but I still get a bit fired up over it cause the cops were so biased towards the other guy.

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
