The remainders of the s14

post-41152-1229939288_thumb.jpg

This guy is 17yo and was driving his first car, a series 1 s14 turbo, which he had only had for 2 months before he decided to go for a burn up Greenhills rd near Victor Harbor. A road with which he was unfamiliar, and at a "bit" over the 80k limit he came over a crest towards a T junction (which is signposted) and was confronted with a big tree. The skidmarks are around 30-40 metres long. He hit the tree head on. It was a write off, but he was fortunate not to be seriously injured. Basically it came down to him trying to be a hero but with inexperience.

Errr, no. I never saw the rest of the car. I took these pics today, it happened 12 days ago and all I know is that the car has been crushed. Crazy actually, since he couldn't afford to insure it you think he would've at least tried to sell some parts from it.

lookin at that corner and the length of the skid marks, it seems like he was really haulin ass and he definantly misjudged that corner.

unfortunately there are people out there who push too hard with little to no experience. Even last night there was a tool doing burnouts out the front of my house, then 2 minutes later there was a loud bang up the street and the road was blocked for most of the night. I hope it wasnt a fatality anyway.

What a tool. How was he driving the car anyway...a 17 year old ie P plater in a turbo charged car.

Another good reason why inexperienced drivers should not be driving turbo cars. Lucky it didnt end up being worse

I agree. But we don't have the P plate laws (ie. no turbo) in SA yet.

    • who can tell me what this is and why my car talks to me? i think it's hilarious. it's on my r34 right above the drivers-side storage compartment. the characters under the wrench say "inspection". every 10 or 20 startups, a voice starts talking in japanese from some speaker in this area below the dashboard. it says a few sentences then shuts off. different from the ETC card reader voice that happens every time i start the car. I've never found the speaker, i've never been able to catch the voice and translate what it says, and i've never found a forum thread that tells me how to reset the warnings. the holes in between the symbols are NOT buttons you can press to reset the warnings. anyone else have this? has the demon lord from Hereditary infected my car?!
    • Would you ever vent this bonnet or will it be unnecessary?
    • Happy new years folks! Wishing you all a successful year of money pit ownership!  So the subframe bushes are out....   Ok, who else has done that job before??  What a C U Next Tuesday of a job that is!  Be glad to not do that again in a hurry! I think I explored every option available to chop the middle section of the bushes out, most of them unsuccessfully! I tried a holesaw, die grinder, normal drill bit, air chisel, etc, etc. The true success happened by accident when I'd decided to try a step drill I spotted on the bench on the way passed.  See, there are benefits to never cleaning up after yourself! It RIPPED through so so much better than the drill bit. It has to be the skinniest one available so its small enough to fit between the inner tube and outer casing but it made easy work of it.  First one i hammered the shit out of... New method- 20250102_185506.mp4   I did the other 5 in less time than I fluffed around with the first one. With the first couple I used the cut off saw (sawsall as the yanks love to call them) to cut a break in the outer casings. Even with that they're still a prick to hammer or air chisel out.  The last few i just went rambo with the air chisel without cutting them. I over cut one of the early ones so will hit the with the mig to fill the cut then sand it off smooth.  The carnage left over-   I've also been "nesting" ie, cleaning up my babies nursery,  ie cleaning the f**king pig sty of a shed. I've got that much shit laying around it's as cluttered as my head!  Getting things put away, in boxes, on shelves, hanging off walls, all to get some working space back again.  Hopefully that keeps me motivated....
    • AFAIK does the base map for Haltech even have the 4D compensation enabled? It's been a while but when I looked at it I remember it was actually using pure TPS as one load signal and MAP for another. Seemed workable but not ideal by any stretch. A lot of people have "make the event-itis" which leads to stuff like this happening.
