WTF...............................

Nice one Mark................

WTF was that car doing being driven on the fu5king road?

450+ rear wheel kilowatts with a racing bucket that would allow only the skinniest of asses to fit.

If you were in the passengers seat then you would be dead.

I will not say anymore, but I am very dissapointed, why the hell would you post this shit on a public forum and what posessed you to think that as the MCCR president you can set such a bad example?

This whole situation was bad enough to start with and you go and post about it

I never said i was a genius :)

Im an idiot for gettin in the car in te first place, i admit. in retrospect i prolly shouldnt have posted it in such a light hearted way.. but i was thanking **** i wasnt dead, and was just in one of those moods, that and the dfact the doctor gave me sumthing that made me rather trashed.

But, i can ASSURE YOU that i am not dead, i WAS in the passenger seat, and im rather sore..

as for the speed estimates, i honestly have no idea.. i know it was in 3rd gear on the power, and i was hanging onto the door/seat cos it was scaring the crap out of me.. i wasnt looking at the speedo..

when i saw the slide, i looked at the tree and said to myself '**** im the one thats gonna feel this, not the him'.

as for the rest of it, i didnt bring any shitfight here, certain people form tjhis club did, they love to have a dig, and well, the opportunity was there..

im not perfect, i do my fair share of dumb shit, if i had of praned it myself, i sure as hell wouldnt be laughing about it as id have cost myself $30k.

the REASON it was posted and the reason i put the pics up was "holy crap look at that cage and how it stopped me from being killed"

and for the retards saying 'that cage is a horrible design'

i DONT CARE what your theory is, it saved me, a cage that saved my fkn life in my book, i couldnt give a shit was keyboard mechanics say, it worked in THIS situation, and the dudes that installed it, certainly knew what they were doing. its no backyard job.. its made of VERY thick steel, and weighs an absulute tonne.

Lets just leave it at that. i dont expect the people that have issues with me to stick up for me, i dont even expect them to be fair to me. But i dont like shit being slung at me and people jumping to unreasonable conclusions.

Ive never been in an accident where i was driving, in 5 years of being behind the wheel of performance vehicles.

im an advocate of safety equipment, race days and advanced driver courses.

i admit i was a bit ofa dumbarse in the way i posted, but hey i ****ed up with that..

laters.

> b: if a driver is driving eratically and u dont feel safe, why not use the handbrake, its in a > position that the passenger can reach it, better to crash at say 80 k's than lose it at 180 > and still hit tree's at 120.

fair call and seems logical however it wont work at that speed, it has a split pin or some sort of mechanism so it cant be applied at that speed? does that sound correct?

can i just say well done on those huge darkies left on the road

sorry to who ever owned that crazy 33

and well done for giving it heaps.. thats what it was made for (not the hitting the tree part)

if no1 was seriously injured why not laugh it off instead of paying out on whoever was driving?

well we're glad ur still alive mark, but who was the driver responsible? And what of the compansation to the owner?

bcos its fckn irresposnsible. what if there was a family drivin home on the other lane and the r33 slide straight into it killin them. Cmon man use ur brain, its not cool.

agreed 100%

i didnt say hey kids heres sumthing cool to do..

it wasnt a smart thing to do, it could have beena lot worse. but every day one of you in your tail happy mostly illegally modified skylines hops in and boots it off at a set of lights, exceeded the speed limit, drifted a corner, power oversteered, did a demo or anything mildy silly (id reckon im safe to say thats the majority of people here), your doing somehting that potentially could have killed someone.

im only too familiar (i mean hell look how close the tre was to my seat) with irresponsible behaviour almost leading to certain disaster, so you dont need to pick me up on that..

that said, i agree that the manner in which i posted probably wasnt particularly smart, but i wasnt thinking all that well, and lets just say, this time round i was lucky, and its been a hell of a lesson..

well we're glad ur still alive mark, but who was the driver responsible? And what of the compansation to the owner?

the driver will remain nameless, nobody on these or any other internet forums knows them, and it wont really change anything if i told u.

compensation side of things, well thats between them and the owner of the car, nobody elses business really..

fair enough, just wanting to know (and I think I posted on mccr the same question I'm about to ask). Has the person responsible agreed that he will compensate the owner, that's all.

your's sincerely,

shan... huge porno fan :)

:slap: I'm glad you are ok Mark, it makes me very angry to realise that you should by all rights be DEAD.

I am familiar with that brand of rollcage and very happy the car in question had one, because that's one less funeral I have to attend.

I will say in your defence that I know you to be an honest person and that It was a shock inspired post that led to this and other forum threads. I wish you a full recovery and hope that your friend who shall remain nameless has learned a lesson or ten. I hope he doesn't try to break his new record of how many trees he can mow down!!

And for all of the guys that said pull the hand brake on, that was never going to happen, Imagine you pull the hand brake on as a passenger.......... you would never be welcome in another car as a passenger again and you would be forever dogged by the nic Hand brake Boy. :slap:

er.. yeah.. whoever said that well has absolutely no idea!! you hit the handbrake at that speed and happen to get a slight angle you'll roll the car easy as that.

Shows the benefits of a proper rollcage though.. Well mark, I don't know who you are - but hey, guess you learned the power of skyline the hard way!

    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch 
    • re the security system, my Fuga/Q70 has the factory option where the puddle lights in the mirrors turn on when the prox key is detected, it was clearly dealer fitted and has a switch in the lower dash to disable it....it didn't have remote start but TBH I don't really miss that, I had it in the Stagea originally but never used it....we don't often have to warm the car up in the snow before we get in for Australia. And the Fuga also has the illuminated footwells, sounds like a useless feature but I actually quite like the indirect light within the car, it was a nice addition
    • Ok now I’m extremely jealous
