R32 Gtr Caught Fire?

[rickytan]

I was behind an R32 (had rear GTR badge) on roe hwy and both lanes had traffic in them so me and the 32 couldnt pass, as soon as the car in the right lane moved into the left lane the 32 started to speed up, i noticed black puffs of smoke coming out his exhaust when he sped up. He then slammed his breaks on and swerved off the road i look back and there's like 3 meter high flames coming out of the exhaust and up the back of the car... I kept driving because i had my gf's ball to go to otherwise i would have stopped and helped.. Poor guy

Yeah ive seen flames come out the exhaust before but never out the exhaust and up the back of the car lol there would have been paint damage for sure. Curious to what happened to his car..

Anything on the news tonight?

That wouldn't have been cool. It reminds me when Tommo's old 31 caught fire at the Zig Zags. We could all smell it, it had popped the dip stick out and caught fire. Thankfully Mike (with a Commodore) had a fire extinguisher to put it out. Reminds me I must get one, I don't think any car should be on the road without one anymore!

fuel issues?

sudden flames usually only from something very very flamable

that or some kind of gas - or one hell of a backfire :|

Goodbye aerodynamics, hello weight reduction

[BANGN]

only way i can think of that happening is bad ignition and a hot exhaust or pretty serious valve overlap..

lawl @ that rx7 picture, i sat at the lights behind a yellow rx7 in the hills and it was pouring out flames though a dumper exhaust onto the ground in a stationary position and when he backed off. it was insane, just kept coming!
