Silvias must be pretty easy to lose... I've done the same thing in my 200B (except of course it was MY car not someone elses)... wet road and I was in a hurry. I took off from a standing start and going around a SLIGHT bend in 2nd, I had WAY too much wheel spin and as I foolishly reached down for 3rd gear it snapped around so quick all I could do was enjoy the ride and wonder what would happen when my rear wheels went up the square gutter. Fortunately I am a believer in truck tyres and both the 205/15/65 rears went up the gutter without touching the rim. If I had 60 profiles I reckon I wouldnt have been so lucky.
