Hopefully everyone involved is okay..

[bubbley]

drilled the street light?

[hampstor]

I think I drove by it today - on shagginappi right?

[GQBalla]

man if the gtr smoked the light than damn, those lights are either really stable or that gtr just exploded on impact

[Kloubek]

Lamp Standard: 1
Skyline: 0

While it looks obvious he hit the lamp post, I can't understand how he wouldn't have caused it serious damage.

[heavyD]

Quite the journey for that car. From Japanese junkyard to Canadian junkyard.

THIS IS A LIE >.>

we all know ALL RHDs come from owners for love and never drive their cars.

[89s1]

I would make the obligatory winter tire remark, but it's been above zero all week and the only thing on the major roads is water. He'd better have had a set of aquatreads for chinooks in that case... :nut:

Curious how it ended up so fucked though with seemingly no damage to the lamp post.

[vengie]

That'll learn em.

[Sorath]

DAMNIT! no front body parts salvagable!

thought it was a new gtr that got wrecked haha

[inline6turbo]

Wow! That's impressive.

Someone's going to have some serious whiplash.

[Redlyne_mr2]

Is that a GTR or GTS with badging?

[pyroza]

Expected new GTR...

[scary_perry]

awww I was hoping it was new school

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Looks like it was fairly recently registered judging by the plate. Teenager trying to drift maybe?

[THE GOVERNATOR]

Well from what seen the lamp post was untouched, actually on the passenger side you can see the skid marks from the road through the snow to were it's sitting... So I'm assuming who ever was driving rear ended someone pretty badly. It's on shaganappi south bound right in front of market mall.



He must have hit really hard if the roof buckled from the imact.

[Sorath]

naw its a real gtr

[RotaryPower]

It hit the light standard I believe, I drove by it today and you can't see in the photos, but the other side of the pole has a nice dent in it (from what I saw sitting at the red light headed northbound)
probably trying to drift coming from wb 40th ave onto shag:dunno:
either way looked horrible, and hope the driver is alright

[Gibson]

Hope he parts out the spoiler...

[2Valve0]

:dunno:

Isn't that how these things show up in Canada? :nut:

Yeah, lol. The jdm fairy just randomly drops them everywere. Most land safely.... But others well they end up in ditches an little sections of land.

[turbotrip]

lol saw that fool crashed into the light pole at market mall early this morning

[Willie Bobo]

Good thing the front rebar, an integral part of the crumple zone, did what it was designed for. Oh wait, it looks like it was hacked to shit for the fmic and did little to protect the car (and occupants) from the impact. D'oh!

[SCHIDER23]

:rofl: :rofl: On a serious note, I'm surprised a light post would do so much damage and still be standing :dunno:

you sir, are a detective. and it wasn't a rebage. it was an rb 26 tt awd gtr

[scat19]

Probably better there than causing a hazard on the road, RHD just aren't designed to be here

Sorry man but I'm gonna have to call you on that. Personally RHD is fine in Calgary, it's certin drivers *cough* *cough* similar to the pics above. Who give them a bad name. My friend, she lent me her RHD RX-7 I had no issues getting around Calgary what so ever. Guess some people just don't have paitence an they wreck.


Ps Nathan it looked like you had a very nice GT-R at one point

[Mibz]

I think scat was being subtly sarcastic.

[Kona9]

Saw this as well. Hopefully those aren't cranial dents in the windshield.

:facepalm: Typical Scat Post. I dont know what has messed you up lately...The little Asian girly pal, or the length of time your eyes adjusted to your old tinted windshield. You never cease to amaze me.

That looks like the stock fmic to me.

But I could be wrong.

no it was 5.5 inches thick lol. its not stock. the guy i bought it off put it in there. it had a gts-t front bumper(which was a shame) with rebar cut

What rebar?

http://grcsandiego.com/joomla/images/phocagallery/rebar/Rebar-big.jpg

The reinforcement bar (aka re-bar) is visible in the pic. It's on the left side of the intercooler but it looks like it's been hacked in half. It's common that with an IC upgrade to remove the re-bar

ie:

http://www.unitronic.ca/alex/kinetic/WEB/P1030047.jpg

However what I can't tell is if the missing right side of the rebar is because of damage from the collission (I've never seen a rebar sheared in half like that) or from something else. The intercooler looks stock so I don't see why it would've been cut down.

Edit: my bad, missed nathantheman's post. Not a stock IC!

I am seriously doubting that is the stock intercooler. Do you see how thick it is in the picture? I could totally be wrong though. :dunno:

Two of them fell for it. So funny. :rofl:

Lol, thanks for that. I was making a joke. Actual rebar looks nothing like the bumper of the car. Yet people still call it rebar.

But your joke fell flat, because while you only associate the word rebar with the concrete/ masonry industry, the term is also commonly used in the automotive industry for an entirely different purpose. Both are correct.

I'll add a photo for your benefit.

$4K+ damage to the front that I caused in an icy parking lot at under 5kph, and $3.5K damage to the rear from a Hit&Run from last year. Not too enthused about the whole ordeal... lol
