Only two of nine Nismos that come out or are heavily modified...
All the other owners are tied down with work or don't take the Nismo for more than just a car. The other footage didn't get recorded due to operator error! Lol

A heck of a run with kingbaby last night, first vid i didn't post cause it was cut short due to trees that fell since it was raining last night, so we had to switch "touges".......

What a HORRIBLE end to an amazing night last night....
http://youtu.be/mVN7VGaFsfE
The group standing around "discussing" and looking at what happen to the Z

After sleeping that night off, i woke up and hoped to god i was just dreaming....NOPE!!!



What saved my car was the Tanabe 4 pt underbrace and GT Spec front lower tie bar, when my car slipped into the sewer ditch, the underside of the Z was protected from the concrete slope by the braces. The wheels got curbed when my car slid into the concrete wall and onto the road, once again sliding on the underbraces.


End result is i'm getting the wheels fixed on monday and finally giving in and buying tires for the Work Gnosis wheels I have in the same setup and stretch that vrbigdish has on his thread.

OUCH! I'm surprised the skirts survived?..
Your lucky you had those braces. WOW! I know what it is to loose control of a nismo on a wet track, so I can't say anything. lol I have learned to baby the car in the rain so I don't sh*t my pants. j/k

Yep, this could of been more costly aftermath! The road had lots of wetpatches! You can see from my brake lights that I was on the brakes constantly correcting my car through turns...
I know the gut feeling of your car being marked by course! I consider it beauty marks. We gonna attack it again! Also for any mods checking this I'm sure this is considered the same as ZDAY activity! We don't have nothing on this damn rock!
He's gonna fix it and we're going back up same weather conditions!
PS....it's dark as ****!

OMG ouch! I thought I was going to kill someone when I curbed my Volks at Wendys, so I feel your pain! Look on the bright side, HOPEFULLY this will force you to get some tires for your works!

More damage found tonight, looks like the rear bottom fork on the coilover is bent and is only being held together by the bolt. Can't tell right now if there's damage to the front side but took pictures anyway.



Also, if someone can help, is the front bottom arm supposed to look "curved" like that? if its normal then cool, if not then DAMMIT

...I'm feeling like this is all my fault now that more damage has revealed itself. The lower arm does have a curve to it...how much of a curve? That's another question...
I'm gonna keep my wolfpack to one...

Eeek
, sorry to hear and see your Z small kine buss. Curious how do they go about fixing the wheel? You brace and tie bar still in okay condition? Glad that helped protect the underside.
