Well, I drove my RB'd S14 off a cliff yesterday...

[goofynick6]

Yeah, was taking my mom for a ride on a nice winding backroad I'd drive on 100x before, showing her all my hard work on the car.

Then, I hit a patch of gravel around a bend, lost control and couldn't pull it back. There was a 30' dropoff that was a very steep bank, almost vertical into a streambed. We flew right down into it doing about 35mph and it rode right along the bank and the front end hit and spun the car about the front and did a 180.

So, I'm just gonna part it out. I don't feel like rebuilding the s15 front and the suspension and who knows what else.

But, I got it back to the shop, piping and fmic all smashed, but the engine fired up on the first try

Here's some pics, if you want some parts, let me know.

Damn, that sucks. If everyone is alright then its not that bad. Its good your engine started up tho.

[PROJECTRB240SX]

OHH WOW.... I'M SORRY MAN!

YOU SHOULD BUY A S30 Z AND PUT THAT RB IN IT... IT'D BE ALOT MORE FUN.

[goofynick6]

We were both fine, no injuries.

I think I'll sell off the parts and the bad karma I have with them..I don't need any other 2600lb rwd vehicle with 400hp for a while....heh.

[PROJECTRB240SX]

WHAT ABOUT A 2100LB 400HP RWD CAR?

[OKCA18DET]

did the police give u a ticket for anything?he looked pretty serious

[goofynick6]

Reckless for losing control of the vehicle...they gotta give you something, ya know?

[BoostFab]

damn, sorry to see this happen to a great looking car! all effort just went down to drain...

[Nameless EJ6]

Holy F.

Glad you guys are ok. That's scary looking.

[xjon]

Glad you're all alright. That reminds me of the accident I was in up in Washington State.

Good luck.

[goofynick6]

In case you were wondering how steep it was:

And this is showing tire marks on the road, and the blob at the bottom is actual size of the car to show how far I went..

that does suck. My first RX-7 Turbo was T-boned, so I feel your pain. It is amazing how sore you feel for the first couple of days after a reck.

[rbsileighty]

Glad to hear you two are ok bud!

[gawdzilla]

geez... that sucks sorry to hear that. Glad you guys are ok though.

I wouldn't ask if you didnt say you were parting it out... but are you selling the injectors?

[goofynick6]

Don't worry about it, buying my parts is how I can deal with this mess.

I was thinking about selling the injectors with the ecu and emulator programmer. They are all setup to work together (z32 maf also). I was using 80% of the z32 maf's capabilities, so a stock maf would surely have been too small for me.

If interested in any parts, lemme know.

Nick

[gawdzilla]

ah.. i was looking to get just injectors cuz i have rb26, and 550cc is enough for now. let me know if you're willing to part w/ just the injs. [email protected] thanks

[lyon23]

Damn Nick good to know you're both alright I saw it really quick at the skylinesdownunder site at work tody and thought it was an old post till I saw the date.. so came here to find out the rest...

[574-240sx]

Ouch that looks pretty bad. Good to see you are ok.

[yelnatsch517]

Man, how fast were you going? The pics on your site only showed the straight parts of the road. Man, that is some bad karma.

PS. What about the other parts of the car? Anything else for sale?

[driftjunke]

Damn dude, thats nuts, hope you're alright, didn't anyone tell you drifting in the woods just doesn't work. 400 hp in the rb20? If you don't mind me asking what was done?

With his mom in the car too. Man, I wish my mom was cool like that.

[krayton]

must not be a month for RBd S14s.

Mine hit a wall....

Sorry about yours though. Good you two are ok

[Wulfgang]

Sorry about the car, Nick... although it still does look pretty good with those S15 lights and nice wheels.

Anyway, I had almost decided not to get the TechEdge and emulator due to the price, but if you are wanting to get rid of them, PM me a price range you are looking for. I might be interested in the Z32 MAF also, depending on how much the whole package costs. Don't want the ECU or injectors tho.

Too bad. That was a really nice car. Btw, where did you get the RB?

[Yellow4g63]

Watching a lil too much Dukes of Hazard man, they could have jumped over that cliff lol. Glad your still ok and your mom didn't get hurt. Don't give up mang just take it as a learning experince and make yourself a better driver from it. If you fall off the horse you don't shoot him u just get back on an break him... altho I have never ridden a horse but u get what I mean. .

[Altiman94]

sorry to see such a thing. Good that ur all ok.

[m tr4nch]

damn man, that totally sucks, sorry to hear about your car. at least you and your mom are fine.

i feel bad asking, but can i have your 5-lug hubs front and rear? along with front spindles? send me an email at [email protected] along with a price. thanks

tranch

[goofynick6]

I was cruising too fast, if I wasn't then I wouldn't have put it into a ditch...right? Gotta watch loose gravel and bad pavement when you're boosting...

Anyway, I'm considering selling my whole engine swap setup together with ecu/Trans/clutch/alum. fly/bov/emulator..blah blah, dunno

Tomorrow I determine if I will repair the damages or not...we'll see.

Nick

[S13Sil-line]

I thought i saw 5 lug hubs? How much? I feel like a duoche bag man, It's like you lost your g/f and I'm asking for her underwears.

[m tr4nch]

^ i got first dibs on the hubs ... look 3 posts up
