somethign happened and i guess my back tires locked up or somethign broke.....back end went to the right, hit the curb at 50 MPH then spun around (passenger rear hit first), then i did a 180 across traffic and went into the other lane and hit the passenger front tire against a sewer drainage thing and my car went airborne, but landed on its wheels (thank god!) then did a 180 in the air and landed.. here are the pics of when i got home..... i broke my passenger wheel hub (where the steering control arm attatches), also in the rear i b roke a rod, bent another rod and broke somethign else... here are pics

wonderful isnt it???

 

"something happened" I told you about that ricer drifting in a FWD sedan.

 

LOL!... i was so lucky that no body was coming in the other direction, or i would have probably been dead, my guess is that somethign broke because in the rear there was a rod in the rear that had broken, but that may have broken when i hit the curb, i dunno since the other rod was bent

 

At least your ok.

 

Glad you are OK. No ticket or anything?? You can tell us the truth---were you just driving along nicely minding your own business-- or were you giving the vans-in-the-parking-lot shuffle

 

no ticket or anythign, hopefully they wont send me one in the mail... i wanst doing anythign wrong, i was doing 5 MPH over the speed limit (50 MPH) and the back end just kicked out

 

dude, wooden block under the gas pedal. You REALLY need to stop having "accidents" Im sure your first accidents have contributed to the weakness of your suspention.

must be accident season or something van, i got it too ;X

 

i was doing 50 MPH and minding my own buisiness.... with the previous incidents, it was my front tire hitting, not my rear

 

Keep this up and we'll have to ban you from 3rd gens. They're not like domestics and just sitting around waiting to grabbed up you know.

 

it's called cheap tires and a slick road

been there done that

 

check everything when you get it running again. Don't want another thing breaking and sending you flying again

 

garenteed he got into an accident drivign normal. my theory is when ur driving like a a$$hole (like me) you have 100% of yoru attention on the road. you giving all yoru attention to driving quickly and do w/e turns... so forth. When u relax and ur fidgiting with your stereo. falling asleep. or just plain relaxed cause ur about to get home, that when you get into the accident.

 

roads were dry, rear tires were bald.. but just for the back end to kick ouy like that, something must have broken


i wasnt talking on a cell phone or fidgiting with the radio or anythign, the rear just started to kick out to the right and i lost it

 

Wow.. your accident is almost exactly what happend to me 2 years ago! at that time i paid about CDN$2000 to get the car back on the road. Since then I learned the lesson to not cheap out on getting tires when they wear old.

Ever since that time, the car hasn't been the same tho. The sub-frame is messed up, so now i got sticky doors on the passenger side. I'm currently thinking of ditching it for a z31 since a bunch of other things have gone wrong on my max.

Having been there, done that.. I know your max prolly kept you safe without a single injury eh.. We should feel lucky...

 

I am going to second the "parking-lot-shuffle" may have contributed to this accident.

Good thing you weren't hurt and too bad for the poor Maxima.

 

i wish i had the free time to crash my car.

 

Drifting is fun in a fwd car, lol. Just tap the brakes before a high speed turn (weight transfer), then keep it under control with gas, steering, and maybe a little braking.

Just kidding, glad your ok man.

 

I am going to reiterate what I said about you last accident "If I were your car I would hate you."

j/k man you're lucky nothing too serious happened.....i wish i had time to mess up my car and then fix it

 

Vans,
I think it is time to make that one a parts car. If it breaks something critical just going down the road, what's next? If I was your Dad I'd probably kick your a'ss.
No one wants to see you get hurt.

 

Ditto. My buddy kissed a pole in my max, 2 weeks ago and I havnt fixed it. Hes paying for a new fender and fixing the hood, but I havnt had time. Id borrow his car for a day but his dad wont let him. any one got a cheap drivers side fender? prefreably in black but if its super cheap ill take it.

~Alex

 

Glad you`re ok , i think everyone had their share of "accidents". did i see correctly on the pics but you have one wheel from an older maxima and the other from the newer one? was/is your max a hybrid, one half old one half new..rrr?

 

Damn vans, sorry to hear. It doesn't seem to be that bad though.

Anybody know what could have caused the rear to go out on him like that? Just doesn't seem to make sense to me. The tires were still on the car.. What can break to make that happen?

 

same thing haoppend to me on my first 3rd gen my back tires were real bald and it just slipped and spun. but was only going like 35 so i was able to contain it after if happend. this is ht reason why you need to make sure all your tires are in tip top shape

 

lol vans why am I not surprised? although it seems like you were driving "calm" I guess the car must've had something faulty...POS rear faulty part makes you look bad huh..well keep it running and you'll be fine

 

im not going to part this one out yet.. i still have my old parts car to take stuff off of it.... yeah i need tires badly. and i was trying to hold off a little more, but i guess it was too late

 

hmmm I wonder why you need tires.....*cough* parking lot drift*cough

 

i have to agree on that one. sure u didnt hit a pot hole or somethin vans? i no we got some nasty ones around here. but good to see your safe.

 

nope.. no pot holes near there.. the backl end just came around so fast, and i tried to save it, but i couldnt... o well time to repair

 

I was referring to the tires being bald cuz of all that tire burning while drifting..ozzombie was referring to the potholes

 

i know.. i was laughing at the parking lot drifting thing... o well.. new tires soon... i just need money..... .... donations made to....LOL j\p.. now i need new rims too.. darn it

 

Dont you just love these...



Muahahahahahahaha!!!

 

those are what i want.. they would look really good on my car...... or the 5.5 and 6th gen rims....paint it gunmetal, and i have a sick looking car.. besides the dents..LOL

 

Now that is some serious wheel gap... Nice wheels though.

 

lol I know, what makes it worse is the angle....thats the stock gap isnt it? wheels 215/55/16 compared to 205/65/15...they're about same size all together. I'll lower it when I put new struts. If you think thats wheel gap you should see my friends eclipse with stock 14s and a bodykit

 

well i fixed all the bent stuff and broken stuff today, the front end looks kinda weird still....the passenger front tire is still straight, but pushed back a little.. so i think my new lower control arm is bent, and in the rear, i think my srtut is bent or my hub is messed up... i took all the rods and stuff from my parts car

 

what are the wheels you have, love the color.

 

hey glad your still around. good luck with the fix

 

They are Ro_Ja Formula 5s. 18x7, 2 piece forged, 18 lbs each.

These wheels were originally white but awsm66 painted them silver before he sold me the car they are mounted on and the wheels. I love them as well. These wheels are STRONG and look great.

 

i was so lucky that no one was coming in the opposite direction.. this is a bust *** road, and somehow there was no one coming frigging LUCKYYYY!!!
