dude, been there done that, i know how ya feeling. lost it around a corner at 70km, hit a power pole, rebounded onto another pole and that was it !! car died, walked away from it and no insurance, it was a 32 gtst.

now i got my 2nd r32, completely stripped the wrecked one and put it all together with the same engine that almost killed me. whole process took me 10 months to do. 1 year anniversary is coming up Feb 8th.

whats done is done, try to salvage wat u can, get yourself together and move on :-(

btw - i was running a gt2530 aswell........coincidence.......???

I'm with you. But you have to admit he killed it in style, could not have done it better myself :(
No, no, no... I was trying to say that we have one less R33 GT-R on the streets now. I couldn't care less how long MINES is grounded for, or how many times he has to give his Dad foot massages to make up for it as a result of his "driving"... all I care about is the fact that *a GT-R has been killed*...
This must be the most exciting threads i've read so far. I can't believe a guy 20 years old wrote off an R34 and then an R33 GTR.

I know its bad it happened on a public road and maybe more care should have been taken, but damn i think he is one cool kid.

There are alot of jellous people around and don't let them put you off. I say your doing well. Who hasn't owned a skyline and broken the speed limit before?

I hope this is sarcasm.... :werd:

Oh i was more concerned no one was injured.

Sorry mate, i've got sympathy for the GT-R, but not much for you. You should just consider yourself lucky that you a) didn't injure anyone else and B) didnt injure yourself. Like others said, a few more K's on the speedo and that pole would have taken the car AND you out.

A car like a GTR demands respect, and while i know we all make mistakes, you really need to learn from them or else there isn't much point in having them. Good luck in the future, i hope you learn from this.

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
