Today I had quite a scare..R33 met it's end at a drift event today..
I attended a small drift event at Okegawa Sportsland today and I brought the R33 because I wanted to try out the new Falken Azeni RT615K's that I had mounted up on the SSR Koenigs I purchased off a friend for $1800.
I'm quite familiar with Okegawa, I've ripped it countless times in my cars. I just haven't shredded the 33 as much and am not too familiar with it. As the day went I got more and more used to the 1.5JZ motor and began pushing harder and harder. On the last lap with my first set of tyres(they were basically gone) I threw it at the wall MUCH harder than I ahould have and MUCH earlier than I needed to and I ended up having to straighten out - but I overcorrected, MUCH too hard. The car ended up straightening up into the wall at a solid 65 mph. Basically, it looks like this-
It's basically done. I have whiplash and a dislocated shoulder, which is surprisingly little considering the force of the impact. Not too shaken up as I have been in worse accidents, but really bummed to wreck yet another Skyline.. not quite sure what to do. Anyone want some R33 parts? Hit me up.
