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.!

    • Please do not connect it to your manifold. If you do, as GTS suggested please record the lot in 4K with good mics attached.   On the factory Skyline, there's a upside down pipe that allows it to breathe, looks like this   
    • For me I'd need some serious justification for why it has blown out.  Have you questioned him on it?  To be honest if you didn't question him right from the get-go on the first invoice that was already way over the initial quote and then you've (presumably) then paid another $1375 on top of the first invoice, then you're pushing shit uphill to get a favourable result now... It was years ago I last got an engineer out but it was around $450-$550 per visit.  That was just to inspect each progress point he gave me for the project.  Is he just doing progress inspections or is he providing engineering diagrams, technical assistance, etc??  If he's not, he's a filthy rip off merchant.  If the $3100 is the final sign off then you need to cop it on the chin, pay it and move on.  If it's not, piss him off and get a new one.  Not many Jeeps I'd value at $10K full stop let alone just engineering fees on a written off, half actual value WOVR Jeep....
    • Oh, yes. If you connected it to the manifold your first drive would be very eventful. Very shit. Very interesting. Perhaps take a video if you feel the need to see. Terminating the breather at the top of the bellhousing is normal/stock. Some gearbox lubes (hello Redline Shockproof) like to foam up a bit and require the breather to be extended up higher, so you don't get spots of smurf jizz staining the floor under your car. Mine is thus right up behind the head. Make sure you fit a u-bend at the top so it points back downward so that dirt and schmutz has a harder time getting into it.
    • Cheers for the replies. So i don't connect it to the manifold I just run the hose high up on the firewall?
    • It doesn't really answer your question...but is the head unit full android or just android auto, are you happy with how quickly it boots and responds, and do you have a link?  If we can identify good Android alternatives it will really help people stuck with Japanese screens. Did it have a separate reverse camera input so you would replace the factory one, or are you just going without now...that would be a pretty big steps back. And finally, do you have a picture of the "wire" that you can't plug in? Most likely it is some sort of aerial that is not too important eg japanese traffic or am radio or something if you haven't noticed a functionality issue
