Also mod, please close thread.
The point of the thread was supposed to be a "Don't be that guy who tries to be cheap with tires & insurance". But if people insist on flaming, it's going to boil down to me trying to justify what I did / defend myself.
Really stupid guys, c'mon... You're worse than the guys on my local forum. But for the guys who had something constructive to bring to the discussion, thanks.
The Z is going to be rebuilt with the money out of my pocket and I will keep driving it. Have obviously learned my lesson and will not ride tires that on their wear bear indicator nor will I have liability insurance on anything but my beater.

Something constructive? Tires are the only thing that touch the road, so yes they are very important. A good driver would take his sh!tty tires into consideration so that these situations don't happen. Ultimately these accidents are always the drivers fault because they could have been prevented.

You elected to post your *experience*....so now you're now getting constructive criticism and you don't like it. You made some very poor decisions from using bad tires to excessive speed for the conditions. Closing this thread will send the wrong message in this case. I see nothing wrong with the responses so far. Hopefully, you learned something here.

Car will get rebuilt though. Almost have everything that needs to be replaced pulled off (power steering cooler is being a pain to get off) and am ordering new stuff. Will have to work my *** off to buy the rest of the stuff. Also considering getting the entire car repainted Bayside Blue (TV2) that R34's were painted come spring time.

There is nothing to justify, you have a bad driving history and are blaming conditions for your own fault. There is nothing to defend, it is what it is.
The lesson here is: carry full insurance and don't drive like a dumbass, especially in the rain.
