*PUI*

I'm so wasted right now...but I just gotta share this. Please no flaming...I know I was being stupid. But I was trying to drift my Z in an empty place...and the Toyo T1S was too grippy I guess...and it didnt drift like I wanted to, and I SLAMMED my rear right wheel into the curb...now the whole rear axle needs to be replaced. The rear right wheel is like having a total positive camber. Anyways I hope it can be fixed soon...no more stupidity from me...even in an empty space. It's like a f'in nightmare...I deserved it tho. Being stupid and adrenalin rushed...oh well. Learned my lesson. I'll drive like a granny after my Z is fixed...

 

Sht happens... I wouldnt worry about it to much.

 

hahahaha i love how you tell us your so wasted hey man like the guy above said "**** happens." good luck with your repairs. i would ask u to post some pics but i got a weak stomach when it comes to wrecked Z's ;( ....

 

It was almost seven weeks old.

Too young to die or be beaten like that.

 

man...I'm sorry... not a flame... but.. you really should take some instuction time at a track. its cheaper that fixing your Z when you meet curbs. G'luck getting her fixed.. she'll be back to normal soon

 

Ouch... sorry to hear that. Please clarify that you weren't wasted (via alcohol) while attempting this drift.

+1 for instruction or the track. Autocross is a great outlet too...

Good luck on your repairs. Pics and a follow-up on how things progress would be appreciated as it's a good lesson for the rest of us too.

 

that sucks i feeell your pain!!!!

 

No comment. I promised my mom that if I didn't have anything positive to say I would say nothing. Oops! I guess I just said something. Sorry mom.

 

Well, it could be a lot worse.

After awhile it'll be fixed, and just a bad memory.

 

Hey , life is about learning.....we all screw up sometimes. Best of luck.

 

Hope you that sweet car back on the road soon.

 

How does "empty place" = "inside of stoppping distance of a solid concrete object"?

It's funny how many people have made this exact same post in the last few months.

Anyway, sorry to hear about the damage. It sounds like an easy fix, and a mistake that has been learned from. Life goes on.

 

thanx guys...yes I have learned my lesson, and no, I wasn't drunk at the time behind the wheel. I never drink and drive.

Yea it should be ok...fix the rim, and replace the rear axle...but I have to wait for Nissan to bring the parts in.

I do need to take some drifting lessons...

 

Seems like the story always start the same way. "I was tryin to..."
Lesson learned, find a bigger parking lot.

 

Last winter I was driving in my neighborhood and it was snowing so it was very very slick (I had my RSX back then) and tried to go around this corner and it didnt turn and i SLAMMED the curb and broke my axel also except it was my front one. IT also loked ike i had a positive camber it sucked took like 2 weeks to get all the parts in and fix. Sorry to hear i know how you feel.

 

I bet the moment of impact rushed fear into your head. The sudden abrupt stop will probably haunt you for a while

 

03FIDDYZ: how much did it cost you to fix it?

LugZ...yes it's still haunting me.

 

Man be careful. That car is so young still. No more comments.

 

ok, no more watching Jackie Chan's "Who Am I" before going out in the Z (in that movie Jackie drifts an EVO into a parking space and it is very cool)

 

sorry to hear about your car. my jaw literally drop when i saw the thread and your sn. glad to hear your okay and no major damage happened to the car. I know you went with the tein basics, are you gonna switch the suspension out. think about what parts need to be replaced and see if you can go after market parts to adjust toe and camber for the rear since you are interested in drifting. Once again glad to hear you're okay and you baby should be up and running in no time.
