Hi guys...

Well after work i was driving for a bit about to take my GF home / see a mate and yeh. Roads were wet and slippery, was on a hill turning from a road (going down the hill) right onto a road (still on a slope) was doing about 40k's slowed down like usual, prob entering the corner at a MAX of 15k's and then felt a bit of understeer, so i figured yeh took it a little bit fast just brake a little and fix it up like normal (obiously i have experienced understeer/oversteer before and know how to correct it) but this thing just wouldn't correct, it was like i was on ice and kept sliding, went into a gutter (front left) and it just kept going a little further and i hit a tree (front left), took a little while for me to realize what had happened (shock i guess) hardly felt anything in the car.

And yeah organized a tow truck and the usual.. I have full comp with Just Car and just sharing the shit night it just became, and wondering what you guys think will happen from here?

So disappointed in myself.

Damn man, that really sux!!!!!!

Sometimes roads turn to ice and there's just no stopping, no matter how slow you are......

really suck cos I know JC has really high excess!>...

Depending on what needs repairs, might be better not making a claim and just paying for the repairs. It might affect No claim bonus or increase you premium for a while.

just things to consider before finalising the claim..

more than 4-5k for a good repair to that IMO. Lots of stuff will be pushed in that you cant see :)

I'd take it down to Micolour for the repairs as it'll be done right the first time :)

Dont feel too bad over it mate, sh|t happens. On a cold/wet night there could have been some chemical/ice etc on the road and thats just how it goes sometimes.

Cause might have been tyres? I know in these conditions of the season tyres that might not be upto scratch might be a cause, just something to look at.

Least your alive and ok, thats the main thing, let insurance do the rest :)

over a tonne of moving mass at 15klm and a whack right on the rad support/upper skirt would do that kind of damage no worries....youve got to remember that the force is more concentrated due to the diametre of the object he has hit....example if he hit something that was 2 metres wide there would be less damage due to the load area spread across the wider object

Oh well lucky you are not hurt.

I had a similar incident in my old car, but didn;t hit anything thank christ. As Ash said probably the tyres, mine were fine in the dry but a death trap in the wet, particularly if you has stiff suspension.

Good luck with the repairs!

thanks for your expert opinion. we can tell you studied hard :P

Physics yea??? or was it back yard testing lol

Yeah it sucks :P making a claim today, and yeh see what happens from there i guess.

The road was on quite a steep hill going down, then right if that makes sense.

Honestly i wasn't screwing around or anything like some of you may think.

I was so shocked at what happened I really didn't expect anything like that, be careful in the wet and frosty guys don't want to see this happening to more Skylines throughout winter especially.

    • 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.
