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.

Hey mate,

I was getting my licence back in 4 weeks and i didn't drive my car there or back... my mates did and driving a car with mega kilowatts fast doesnt impress me at all.. i have been in a 450awkw GTR and i was loving life and didnt even go above 3500rpm.. also i knew all about the car when Morgs was first trying to sell it... i would of bought it off him but lacked the $$$$$$.

Stupid, nothing but stupid. Yes we have all broken the speed limit, yes we all give our cars a bit of a push here and then. But to do it in a 60 zone, residential area with a child care centre too - nothing but STUPID.

I can't believe people are asking if he has insurance etc... It's a piece of metal (yes i love my car too) but its a car at the end of the day. I have 2 young children as well, i'm just imagining them outside that centre now, no offence - i hope you get the maximum penalty for such a stupid act.

seriously, can all the do-gooders go aply for parking maid jobs kthanks.

dont sit there and preach about how dumb this guy is. the fact you all probably own a skyline means you like what they do heheh

and as nick said, lucky it was school holidays.

also. im not sticking up for him. if he was ignorent enough not to know about semi slicks then this is proof enough. ive driven up/down there heaps. its a nasty corner that tightens and is off camber. doing it in 3rd on boost is beyond me.

its a royal ACIDENT. not a ON-PURPOSE.

im all to familiar with the fact that shit happens. its a gtr with heaps of snappy t04z power.

unfortonatly the cops arnt gonna like us much anymore.

and oh.... if they have any idae THEYL BE READING THIS AND USING IT FOR EVIDANCE. so be careful on what you guys say in regard to the details of the acident.

once again SEMIS STRIKE AGAIN. im glad no one was badly hurt

as much as i have to say it, what did ya expect, doing those speeds on the roads, there is no excuse for it, and i can justify why the cops hassle so many people. obviously it will make ya think twice about doing it, but roads are for driving on, there not for going fast like a race track.

glad too see everyone is ok, thats a good sign.

but yeah. to tru. ive done some stupid shit before, it really is luck of the draw. its only taken me 4 years to realise that im not that good a driver and cant predict what all the other drivers will do.

leason learned.

an oh.. dont be a menace to society is on foxtel :ermm:

Well after being in an accident like that, you don't really wanna get back into a high-powered car the next day. If you were in my position ... (almost getting your head crushed by a brick wall and from the roof just missing our heads thank god for the seats) you might just know why i want one... coz its just a genuine cruising car plus summer is coming up and it will be less than the $4,500 insurance i pay for my GTR now and much better on fuel.

not preaching to anyone, you can give it here and there, thats fine..

but 140 on a crappy road?

no accident is on purpose, thats why they are called accidents and as you said, we've all done stupid things but most people could stop and think about what they are doing, for example putting your passengers lives on the line.

The driver had 3 passengers well potential buyers.. Mate if i was a potential buyer and i saw you thrashing the car what do you think i would be thinking? Thats f**ken stupid. Yes you've been driving for a while but you should of known better, your f**ken lucky there was no kids.. I hope you learn your lesson because it's people like you and faggets that take their dads cars and smash into poles and ruin it for everyone.

lol been there done that...

trust me u will get bored

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
