Another Z got hit, this time its MINE!!!!
 

1 car hit the inter-connect and side way blocking both lanes. I saw it and break to a stop. Car behind me spun out of control and hit me. Got it all on Video too. Damn it!!!!:icon14:

Load the video for us to watch!
I'm glad or I hope that everyone is alive and well!
Please keep us all posted, we are very concerned with car accidents!

WTF man, what is it with our cars, its like theyre intentional targets for disaster! +1, i wanna see that vid!

i agree. our cars seem to have a rather high attrition rate, despite that they're new and rare on the road. all those 370z cars in accidents have me nervous. i hope me and my car can make it to the 1st anniversary in one piece

i'm glad your okay.. hopefully it didn't get damaged much and it be good as new again..

people just look at the Z for a moment.. and BAM.. hello Z!!

look where you wanna go and the Z is where they looked

so true, thats what we get for driving a neck snapper, no pun intended :icon17:

Damn, another one. Hope you are fine!

Dude, I don't know if I can bare to watch it. It will give me nightmares.

0h hell, that sucks. s00ry to hear the bad news. not a g00d way to start out the new year. hope everything works out for yah

Damn, sorry to hear that, was it the 3g eclipse that crashed into you or that car in the back? I currently drive a 3g Eclipse and about to switch to a 370z soon, hope I don't become a target. :x
How bad was the damage to your z? didn't see any photos of the damage

Hope it's a quick fix and glad everybody is ok.

The video is 90MB, do not have any video editing tools to make this smaller. PLus I do not know how to post it. Anyone knows a great body shop in Sacramento, CA? I want it to have the best treatment possible. Can not bare to take picture of damges, but looks like back bumper + fender + front fenders are goners. Lights maybe have popped out too.

Here is the youtube video. May not be processed yet.
YouTube - Nissan Z370 got hit by Eclipse



Or search for: Nissan Z370 got hit by Eclipse

Just watched the video...was this jackoff tailgaiting you? It seemed he hit you 2 sec after you hit the brake.

it really spun out... wow... the rear hit you..


do you always have a camera running when ever you drive... like a cop cruiser camera??

So how many forum Zs have been hit so far and what are the ages of the drivers? Just curious and hoping this wont raise our ins premiums if we keep getting hit.

Looks to me like the douche in the Mitsu was tailgating the Z.

he notice how pretty the car was and had to get close...
most likely checking it out and didnt see the brake lights go off O_o
either way its CLEARLY his fault

just hope your Z is ok *idc about you* j/k

That sucks. It is great to have the proof on camera. I hope the Z is going to be OK. But....I have to ask.....why were you taping?

At first I thought you went to the left when braking so you wouldn't hit the fisrt car. However when I looked at the video again you didn't go left until you were struck from by the Eclipse. Pheeeewww!

Sorry to hear about your car- its a good thing you're ok.

I have to admit -I'm really curious as to the video camera. Is there any particular reason it was on?

The camera is a toy :) I am a nerd :p Its always on and record 7 hours over and over.

Sorry to hear about your Z. At least the camera was on and you can prove you weren't in the wrong. That seems like a nifty little investment/toy. I might pick one of those up one of these days.

Sorry to hear about your accident. Your video, and looks like the person behind you was on your bumper, and wasn't paying attention... hope the damage isn't too severe, and you get it fixed pretty quick...

I too am sorry to hear about your accident, glad your fine.

I'm intrigued by your camera idea. So you have a camera permanently wired in that loops every 6-7 hours? That's pretty cool..

Too bad your not down this way, my neighbor owns 4-5 local bodyshops and does beautiful work, fixed my Rover a couple months ago when my wife rear ended a nice S550 and fixes my neighbors cars all the time as he's a bit accident prone :).

Sadly, I think all cars should come with those. When the other driver started to pull out, I thought they were going to take off - lol.

Same when the car that was sideways, they started rolling and I thought the same thing - they're going to leave the scene.

If anything the car that's sitting sideways should be liable for both vehicles, I'd guess...

a. I'm very sorry to see the Z got hit. I was in a same situation 2 years ago when a lady hit my as I was cruising at 75 MPH! But hopefully everything will be fixed like before.

b. WTF what car was doing in the picture?(the one you had to brake for?) is he lost/confused/car stalled - what happen?:confused:

c. What camera do you have on the dash. I know dash cams are VERY popular in Japan and tons of Fairlady Z34 have them over there. Your cam seems very high tech with GPS and compass. Any link to the product?

thanks

sorry about the Z, hope the eclipse has insurance, thought it was gonna take off for a minute, hope everything gets put back together.

Yup, I'd say the Mitsu was going to try to leave the scene. Hell, he didn't even get out of the car to check the driver of the car he hit, wat a maroon :rolleyes:

That's sad...
Hopefully everything is going to be OK. What what was wrong with the Eclipse guy!? He was trying to reach your radio or something? Probably he was doing something else w/o looking forward.
At least, you have the proof on your side.
How big was the damage to the Z?

As Ak said, What camera do you have on the dash. Any link to the product?

The across the road car's insurance company would say "no contact no accident" for him. They will claim it is your responsibility to have full control of your car as there was plenty of distance to react prudently as the video does indeed show.

However the Eclipse guy did make contact with your 370Z.....the across the road car isn't of any consideration from a legal standpoint. So this is entirely between you and the Eclipse.

Sigh... I hear you and feel your pain about getting hit. It is major suckage. :shakes head:

Wow if the speed readout from the cam is correct, you didn't even stop that hard and he still hit you...

I'm glad I don't drive as much anymore...

It must be the Z emblem in the back. It's hynotizing. When I see one on the freeway i can't take my eyes off it. Maybe that's what happened to the Eclipse driver.

"Smart Car Black Box" Google it and u can see it. M kinda disappointed its FISH EYE cam. More angle but can not see license plate until u hit him.

Actually he was trying to get out and I told him to stay in the car. If we get out of the cars and more of him come by .... not a good idea. :icon18::owned:

haha.. let just put it this way -- If he decided to drive away after the hit, I don't think he can go too far. Outrunning a Z with a Eclipse is not a easy task ;).

Silver Eclipse hitting things you say?

http://bytewire.net/Car%20MVA%202.jpg

I only had 3k miles on this car. Was waiting to make a turn when some girl in a silver Eclipse crossed over the line and hit me. It was late at night and the girl was speeding plus she didn't have her lights on and she was on the phone.

The car was totaled. :(

Glad to see your Z is in much better condition, though.

That's good that you guys were ok and I never knew about the smart black box, thanks for the info aswell.
