Indeed there was..! a pretty unlucky night! 3 spins!!

first spin was Nissaner (GTR)...spun on a right hander..!! lucky bastard....! did abt a 180 but hit nufn!

I was the car behind him!!

Second spin, came only a couple corners later on the first sector..! R32 gtst..! ended up with some front and rear body damage..! I was the car in front of him that time

3rd and worst came..in 3rd sector..! Myy800 (as pictured above), spun and hit his front againts the barrier and then hit the back too!! Again I was the car directly behind him.

The type R came out of the spin pretty bad..!! but managed to limp it home after some Rally style modifications and without 1st, 3rd or 5th gear.! Lucky he had a 6th gear to use on the freeway..!

I guess it was just one of those nights...! I think we all jus pushed it just that much harder..! For the first sector before any accidents we had like a s15, Clio, type R, GTR, R33. R32, integra vti-r all up each others ass..! all going hard..!

Man maybe I'm unlucky or sumfn..!

I'll post up some fotos here soon guys.!

btw xrsist where did u hear abt it!

damn Yeek... sorry to hear.. shouldn't take it so hard.

lucky I wasn't there, but I wouldnt have taken it that hard anyways, just got my car back so don't want nuffin to happen to it.

lucky GTR, most expensive car there and didn't hit nuffin...

oh well, hope you guys get your car fixed with the least possible $$$..

omigod guys this really pains me to hear.. 3 smashes in one night man? what were u guys thinking??after the first spin u all should have slowed down..

but u kept pushin? have u guys got rocks in the head?? no offence but this is the exact reason cops are now patrolling this road alot more than before.. cause there are ppl out there who dont know there limits.. ive been doing the OPH quite regularly for about 2 years now.. and cant believe how hard some ppl push it and it always ends in trouble.. why do u do it to ureself.. cant u guys go on the track and loose it there so u know where the limits of ure cars are??

no offence guys but that is just absolute stupidity to have 3 smashes in one night.. and im not telling u to drive liek a granny.. anyone knows me.. knows how quick i can do the oph.. but learn the road.. and learn ure cars.. there is nothing wrong at the rear of the pack.. at least u have a car to drive home..

at this rate there will soon be a fatality guys.. please be carefull and do ure share of racing on the track before pushing a car on the oph, natio run or whatever..

:):D;)

Yeah well..! first one didnt even touch the sides and the R32 only had minor body damage..! It was the third smash that was bad..!

and yeah the type R that smahsed has had a lot of OP experience..! knows the roads pretty well.! it wasnt a problem with knowledge of the road..! it was more a problem in the drivers head..! distractions in life..! but yeah...not all of us have the time to go to the tracks...or can afford to go all the time..! I disagree with ur comment in that I dont think u need to do ur fair share of track b4 OP..! I agree that u need to learn ur limits and learn the roads..! I mean, wen i first started I took it heaps easy and learnt the car and the roads..! Last nite marcus came but he was near the end as he was jus learning his car..! we encourage ppl to only take OP as hard as they are comfortable with...and not push it past that. All drivers make mistakes at some time in their driving life and most drivers have accidents...whether it be their fault or someone else's. When u race on the streets, u are more prone to have an accident...true?? Of course, more expereince and better driving limits the risk..but the risk is still high...the guys at the front were there because they were the faster drivers and more experienced..! I persoanlly ask every driver jus b4 the beginning of OP where they wanna go and see how hard they wanna go..! We ask ppl that want to go slow or are learning their cars to go behind those that are faster so the slower ppl do not feel pressured to drive fast.

It is a split second choice we each individually make....through each corner...and I can bet u that there have been some corners u have taken that may have been the wrong choice and may have caused an caused some sliding. Maybe by luck or skill made it out of the corner with no damage but still..u cannot say to me that there hasnt been near misses. These near misses sometimes turn into an accident....! This accident was not one of pure careless idiotic driving...the driver has had experience on OP and taken it many times before. He was driving near his limit, true...but that one corner...was a bad choice..! his tyres are really crap...maybe he might have gotten out of that spin on another day..but last night he spun it and hiot the barrier!

Accidents do happen wen u race on the streets, and u do ur best to limit the accidents by learning ur car and learning the track, but there are always times when that wrong choice is made and we have to live with those choices and hope that no one makes a choice leading to a fatality. No matter how fast u r going, how great u are at driving, or how well u know ur car!!!! There are too many factors involved in street racing!

don't i know that too well...

hey, sh1t happens and it was just hard luck it happened three times last night. it's all good in the end if no one is hurt. who gives a crap about a hunk of metal

Unfortunately accidents happen everyday due to many reasons,

rain, tyres, driver error, road condition etc etc. As with anything,

if things happen more in a certain area the cops will be onto it.

Rac33r, sorry. I didn't mean to stir anything was just curious on

exactly what happened to warn others on here of a particular

part. Maybe a weather change affected a certain section of the

road? With this cold weather and the water i've seen on that

road I can definately see something like that happening.

As ONARUN said, glad no one got hurt.

I overheard a conversation.

nah man...u didnt stir nefn up..! hehe..! all good..! Neither did URMINE..! jus thought I wud give my point of view on accidents..! hehe! Yeah tyres cud have been a factor..! But I think that was it..I took the corner right behind him just as fast and was okay..! I was jus saying that accidents occur to the best of drivers..!! obviously a lot less to the best..but sometimes u are jus pushing that fine line between an accident and a fast corner and u may come out of it the worst...just thought I would remind pplz of this fact..! and that this is the "racers life"....deal with it...!

But it was dry..! but yeah normally second sector is pretty damp if it had rained anytime in thelas tcouple of days..! yeah i know wot u mean..like if the road is a darker colour..be careful..! but yeah I thought the road was quite dry.!

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
