Tuga86 Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 Hope you are OK- You can always get another Zed What happened ? True, i am ok, no phsical damage, it spinned from the rear as i had the TCS off, i was in 3rd gear n pressed hard i guess but as it was on a straight line it spinned n totaly lost control of it, i Hit first the sidewalk n after my rear hit a lamp post n completly destroyed my back. Ill try to get another one definetly, this was a lesson. Enviado do meu SM-G925F através de Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdm owner Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 As long as your ok though. Always make sure traction on when driving in the wet the zeds are beasts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliveBoy Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 What speed were you doing? To have taken out a lamp post and a fence, you can't have been going 30 At the end of the day you're ok, that's all that matters! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINKJ Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) the exhaust may be recoverable for your next Z Edited August 25, 2015 by WINKJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 sheesh that looks bad, glad you are alright! little bit more caution needed with the next zed, and perhaps keep the TCS on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 "had the TCS off, i was in 3rd gear n pressed hard" I what looks like a 30 zone and with all that rain yesterday be thankful you didn't hit anyone else or hurt yourself...... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Trouser Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 So sad to see this - it is pretty trashed but at least you walked away unscathed and no one else was hurt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always get another zed but lessons learned, don't press the magic button when its wet. Or drive like a tool in general... the "magic button" won't always save people. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brillomaster Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 also just wondering what tyres were on it? a zed needs decent boots on to get the most out of it - be worth checking what tyres your next zed has 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grundy Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Sorry to see this , but glad your ok . Hard in 3rd ? That's 70-90 mph then . I say you were very lucky on a few accounts . That's top end of 3rd. Would of more than likely been 50ish as the incident would arrive from delivering the power down too quickly in the wet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuga86 Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 also just wondering what tyres were on it? a zed needs decent boots on to get the most out of it - be worth checking what tyres your next zed has On this one i was using 235/35/19 Front and rear, i know should be wider on the bk but it came with those ones n they were in great shape still, the brand of them was starting with an A but dont remember exactly, not the best though.

Puffmac Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) If it's any consolation, I wrote off my first 350Z after a mere 3 days. Poor tyres (low on tread, old and cracked - i used this a leverage during the deal), unfamiliar car, first rear wheel drive car and wet conditions all also contributed. To add salt to the wound I was collecting 4 brand new Eagle F1s the following morning! I wasn't going fast, I had only pulled out of a junction and had binned it about 100 yards down the road, if there wasn't a nice big wall to help me come to a stop then I'd have more than likely spun and drove off. The days following I felt utterly stupid, as if I'd made an example of myself and just gone to prove that young guys can't have fast cars. There I was a few days previous showing off my new car and now it's scrap metal. I thought I'd never get another one as I'm only 20 and surely my insurance would be through the roof. Fast forward 6 weeks, managed to get my money back on the car and some, insurance hasn't even doubled, and I went and collected my 2nd Zed on Saturday past. I learned a very hard and very expensive lesson, but it could've been much, much worse upon reflection. My ego was severely bruised and I was car-less for 6 weeks, but I can now look back and realise I was just lucky to have walked away unscathed, got my money back, and got another one! Things will work out for you - if you want another Zed then you will get one! Edited August 25, 2015 by Puffmac 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt declare the mods, didnt had many anyway, was planning to get HFC'S n plenum spacer next month, now have been cancelled, had a lot of plans for it, now just hope the Insurance gets it done quickly n hope it doesnt double on the Insurance for the next one.
