Silvia In Rocky Bites The Dust.

[Ska]

Pictures taken from a persons front yard, Dean st 9 October 2007 -A guy driving a Nissan Silvia, just after dropping his mum and sister off down the road, hit a tree, split in half, the front of the car landed in the middle of the road, the back end landed in the front yard of the house across the road. He was still strapped in in the part of the car that landed in the yard. - The battery from the car flew all the way up to the Kerrigan St roundabout, (about 50mtrs up the road)

Would you believe, he got out of this with a mark on his arm (possible fracture) and a bump on the head!

But here's the kicker, The car wasn't his... it was his roommates, and it wasn't insured!

This guy better be thanking his guardian angel, cuz he was sure looked after today!!!

nice pics Ska,

sell em to the paper for some bull shit anti hoon story!!

[Ska]

I didnt take them, just got them in an email, thought I'd share.

People are their own worst enemy, plain and simple. I remember an incident that could've easily ended up like that if I had been 1mtr to the left or right of a couple of poles sticking out of a traffic island. I was lucky to walk away from it, and so was this guy. Lets hope he learns from it.

fraken hell.

how can you even get a siliva up to those kinds of speeds1!!!

[funkymonkey]

wow the way that cars split, lookin at those pics, i'd be thinking it was cut n shut before. doesn't look like it was a huge hit, yet the car's in two.

[Oblivion]

yeah he must have timed if just right to hit the join there.

Anyone wanta buy a fresh half cut???

Cars was probablly two cars to begin with... Hence the easy split, its too clean...

isn't that how they make silvia's?

Silvia - 180 - Sil80 - Onevia

they're just pieced together like mechano arent they?

thats what I am thinking the break is far too straight to not have been welded there before!

yeah the panels are bolted on and off....not cut trough the chassis and welded back together!

[Col-GTSX]

Yeah the 180 and silvia share the same chassis (S13), so the pannels can be swapped over to create a Sil80 or Onevia...

ahhahaha someone's gotta show liz this

lucky guy indeed, fark that

[dan22]

First thought that crossed my mind as well was that this car had a front end done before....otherwise the impact would have rippled through the whole body....instead of a beautifull split....

bloody hell it hit well. wonder if he was being a hoon with the amount of damage but he did a good job at least.

[mad082]

that'll buff right out

[Gts-t]

i wouldnt be so sure it has been cut and shut before, i mean u have a very large % of the weight at the front and if u hit it in the right spot i wouldnt be suprised to see it look like that.

Ive seen pics of an enzo (diff ball game entirely i know) but it was split cleanly in half and i doubt it was cut and shut

anyways f*k that, atleast no one is dead tho

[ansch]

just a bit of drifto damage.. nothing a packet of cable tie won't fix

[UCD15R33]

racing tape and zip ties my best friends

[Gts-t]

insurance FTW

fraken hell.

lol.. the SR20 is a better motor than the RB20 how does a R32 get up to them speeds bah...

lol.. no the panels are switched over.. acutally to chance a sil to a onvia u only need philips head solder tin snips 10mm spanner and sockets.. takes around 2 hours to do.. same thing to do the sil80..
