Car crash at top speed of 300 kph.
The japanese car tuners JUN and Top Secret tuned up a 350z for Option Magazine, a Japanese tuner mag, specifically to run the Silver Street Classic in Ely, Nevada. The crash was indeed caused by a blown tire and the driver, Daijiro Inada, did survive.
he survives, you see him standing next to the car
bah, and I was there even hehe, <~ newb
By JonnyChimpo 1151644720 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveYes, it was a tire puncture. Right rear, if I remember correctly. The car was specially built for the event and was putting down somewhere around 700hp. But, the driver is a pro, had he gotten on the brakes he would have probably crashed going much faster.
By CaptainXanax 1151643974 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveFrom all looks, that looks like a tire blowout.
Its weird because as he was slowing down after the tire went out, it looked like he had it back under control, because he swayed to the left, and then to the right, before righting the car. And then I guess, most rubber went of the tire, and the car just turned, and he could do nothing about it.
Good to hear that he survived.
It WAS a nice car

By simpsonscrazy123 1156422308 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveIf you listen carefully near the end you can hear rocks kicking up from the car and anything bigger than a pebble (or many pebbles) at 250KPH is going to pose a huge problem.....there is no way it would ahve been the gear box
By XCelir8 1155396778 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI'm not a pro driver myself, but the grinding sound you hear in the beginning of the crash is probably because the rpm is too high for the existing gear the driver was on. The tire blowout ultimately caused the car to swerve - if you listen carefully, you can hear it blow.

By Slinkys 1151647131 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removei agree it has something to do wit the transmission or gear box.
By dammitblnk182 1151646409 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveA gear box problem would not have caused the car to spin out of control like that. It would just not be able to go anywhere.
By Gibbeon 1151971691 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveIf you hear carefully, he tried to change the gear, and it blocked... then he had neutral and loose control of the vehicle... You always loose control of your vehicle, in neutral and top speed... He managed to get out of there alive..nd that is a miracle... :)
By gmorfeas 1151641494 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeit was a blown tire. He did absolutely the right thing by putting it in neutral to try and allow the car to slow itself as gently as possible. These are professional drivers and know that taping the brake or downshifting is a sure way to lose control of a car that has lost a tire at such speeds.

By brainyak 1151639868 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveYou're both wrong... That car was imported from Japan where it is known as the Fairlady Z.
By CaptainXanax 1151644152 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThe first time I went car shopping way back around 1973 or so, I test drove a small imported car that looked more like an MG Midget than anything else. It was a Datsun Fairlady. It was cool to drive, but it had a blown cylinder, so it was only running on three, and would need extensive work on the engine. That's the last time I've ever heard of the 'Fairlady' model. Pretty cool that it's still around.
By Gibbeon 1151971941 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethe fairlady z is actually a better car then the 350z too
way better for tuning
i hate how cars get "softened up" for the u.s.
I'm amazed the guy is still alive. Technology today in cars is amazing.
