ooooh sorry man

 

I was talking with the cops for a while doing a police report and by the time I took pictures the rain had stopped.

I was doing 40 - 45 because the rain was so bad.


I don't think it's ugly. It's genuine Nismo and not some knockoff.

 

It's been raining almost every day in Dallas for the past 60+ days. I think we get more rain than Seattle. The bad thing is it comes and goes several times a day.

 

Not doubting the rain. Just doesn't look like its heavy rain in the pics. Anyhow, slow down is the best advice I can give and glad you're alright.

 

It's the most messed up weather we are having. I can be driving down the hwy in bright sunshine one minute and then hit a patch of heavy rain the next. Having weather like this really should make people more aware of the road conditions and the condition of their tires.

 

glad your o.k.. atleast you have some cool pic's and a neat story to tell..

wing looks fine..

 

True, but we have had more rain down here than you guys have had and no issues driving around in the Z.

 

It's really not an issue with just the rain or Z per say, it's just that people sometimes, no matter what car they drive, forget that that bad tires + rain + fast speed will get you and others in trouble. I'm not of course implying that the OP was guilty of this because there were times in my Z in which standing water caught me by surprise being so low to the ground.

 

WOW! How did you get so far into the field?

 

I can see where you ended up from my office, lol. Anyways glad your ok and all.

Just slow down and keep a check on your car. I was doing about 78 in my SUV on the toll way when it hit. Needless to say 78 was not a safe speed when I felt a back tire left. I just left off the gas. About the max I could do even with truck tires (new) was like 40 :/

Did see 2 flipped 18 wheelers, 1 crashed 350z (75 north of McKinney), and 3 flipped ford focus's.

Yesterday was nuts. No wrecked SUV's for a change, just bad mojo for cars

I will say it was fun getting on an empty road and forging though 2-3 feet of water doing 35 woohoo for intake clear at the top of the hood

 

F all of you that think the nismo v2 wing is ugly.


side note:

holy crap. look like aliens abducted your car abd put it into a grass field. glad to see you're ok.

 

Man that sucks!! Good thing you didnt flip over!

Luna...Do they still have street races on that road by the warehouse over there??

 

Just rub some Robitussin on that quarter panel, it will buff right out.

 

Funny thing is after speaking with the Farmers Branch police officer, he mentioned that people hydroplane all the time on that stretch of 635 (especially when it rains hard because of the pockets of water that accumulates). It also doesn't help that the bridges aren't level with the roads around here. You would think that engineers who put these roads together would think these things out. I think they worked on the stretch of 183 heading out to Fort Worth and actually put in drains.

 

Maybe I should use the compressed air / hairdryer method.

 

I actually stopped halfway up the hill. I had issues going back up the hill and was already facing towards the towards the service road. I would have lost traction. It also didn't help that the grass was so high. I also didn't want to run back into traffic and possibly cause another accident. So I decided to head to the service road but got stuck.

 

hooooly hell, glad ur ok man

 

Note: Nismo wing only looks cool if you have the full kit and wheels.

On a side note: Dallas seems to be getting hit hard with rain, I thought Austin was bad. So much for a a hot and sunny summer.

 

fackin rain. my car has been dirty for the last 3 months.

 

yeah...that stretch sucks ***. i'm close to there in valley ranch and i hate that area especially in the rain.
