What's your worst rub/scrape?
 
So like the title says, what is the worst rub or scrape story that has happened to your Nismo's skirt? I rarely rub but when it happens, it happens! Today for example, I was pulling into a spot and the ones on the left didn't have any parking blocks but of course the one that I pull into has one that is like in the middle of the spot. That was not pretty :suicide:

Trust me, I do look in spots but for whatever the reason, I just couldn't see it, neither did my passenger. You're very lucky - This is my first time scraping in a spot, it usually happens in driveways

A few weeks ago I installed my Stance GR+ coilovers.
The fronts were pretty low and I loved it.

I totally forgot that my friends driveway is steep as fuhk!
I scraped my front bumper badly trying to get out of the garage.
I hate reversing up a steep hill. :icon22:
Then I scraped horribly again because I didn't remove the two bolts in the fender liner.

In the end. I raised the car. :icon27:
Ew. Wheel gap.

I was in the Nordschleife entering the Carousel. I dove deep like you're supposed to, only to result in the only scrape I have. That was the last time I ever took the inside of the Carousel. A few seconds off a lap time no one's recording isn't worth scraping.

Didn't happen in my Z, but in my BMW I was in the dunkin donuts drive through and it had that little curb on the passenger side that I couldn't see. It was kinda strange because it really didn't serve a purpose at all. Anyway, I ended up damaging both wheels on that side, 1 tire, and even knocked off the little block under the skirts where the jack point was. Around $2000 in damage! Thank god for a $250 deductible!

If that happened that was awesome.

Yeah I went to run up on a rubble strip at Nashville Super Speedway last year and it turned out to be more of a rubble curb! Put like a 4in crack that won't close up in between the front splitter and that black plastic piece that is the bottom of the front splitter. It looks like crap but I don't go to car shows so maybe one of these years i'll get it fixed

Are you on stock suspension? This is another reason I just sit n watch instead of participating but I'd love to either way

Yeah i'm on stock suspension, their rubble strips are really tall in some areas of the road course or in might have happened when I came down off the banking to the flat part of the track pretty hard. I'm sure i'll figure out a way to get it fixed and lookin' pretty again though :o

Czarrr Jun 19, 2011 02:57 AM

I want to go to a track type course so bad :werd:
