Driving in Lindfield on the pacific highway in that massive storm when i go to turn into an off street and turn around and go back down.... black r33 was turning onto the highway.... spins 1st.... 2nd..... bit sideways..... gets onto the side of the highway that they wanted.... back comes out....

spins entire car around.... missing a telegraph pole by under a meter.... total 180..... stops for a sec and spins 1st,2nd,3rd trying to get out of the middle of the road... decides to go back where they came from after narrowly missing alot of things and being lucky not to get collected by traffic!!!!!

point of the story is..... either get an abs, traction controlled car (like the one i was driving at the time) or drive REALLY carefully in the rain as things can happen in a split second...

Anything similar happened to anyone???

I'm assuming "1st, 2nd and 3rd" are gears?

If so, then it was hardly an accident that he broke traction, especially the multiple times they did it. I don't think getting an ABS or TCS equipped car will help much, since they're clearly not in the mindset to drive carefully.

Reminds me of that NZ WRX driver who was driving like an idiot and ended up putting it into the telegraph pole. Hopefully when this guy does it, it gets caught on camera and posted on Google video, so the cops can come down on the f**kwit like a ton of bricks.

what else could 1st, 2nd 3rd be? sets of tyres?

in a mind set where you are shitting yourself because you just lost it... traction could help by limiting wheelspin, and therefore increasing grip and making the car actually move forward rather than just sitting there spooling off its head.......

and abs does help in alot of situations...... (i heard you love hitting it down the main straight on wakefield just before the 1st corner... now if you didnt have it then you would be skidding and smoking off the track :D)

it was a pretty close call i must say!

      You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."

      Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.

      Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>

      There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
