hehe, thats true Mr T, already had Stabby help me out with a wiring problem on the car. has a pretty sweet R32 as well!

HWP dont have quota's. other than RBT's. while im overdoing acronyms.. HTH

sounds pretty random and spiteful, why did he come after you brah?

surprised ur dad got away with that Gimps, the speeding just over stuff i can understand though. been through a dozen traps myself without raising so much as an eyebrow at 10km/h over. Whats with this 'facts sheet' malarkey? if no charges associated with it who gives a flying hootananny?

thanks for the recommends Tangles and Stabby, cant be arsed waiting for the new ones to get delivered though im guessing that price doesnt include the extra bits like support bar and condenser? is this dual core thing much better than the stock version?

It was just standing in the middle of the road i think..or it jumped out into, happened so fast i cant remember. I would love some trick high end radiator but after ring all these places... NG Jap Spares : 02-97928112 - Padstow Sydney Wreckers : 02-97092800 - Greenacre Sumo Spares : 02-97247860/0423590284 -Chipping Norton - behind the Bankstown Airport Tempe Tokyo Spares : 02-95589926 -Princess highway, Tempe Just Jap : 02-97248066 - Hume highway, Lansvale Jap Centre : 02-97256666 - Lansvale i only found one with a radiator set up going fro 350 including condenser and support bar. then rang... unit 54/93 newton rd, wetherill park Skyline Spares 0410069096 will do bonnet and radiator bits for 650 so will probably head out there tomorrow before lunch. will still order the CF bonnet i think and use the stock one until that comes in, should be able to be back to normal by tomorrow arvo for under a grand including getting radiator fitted by the Skyline spares mechanic. when CFiber bonnet finally gets down from QLD i will just use that till defected

hey that doesnt look too bad? slightly worse than my run in with a deer! you could chuck a new bar, radiator and bonnet on and drive off..or better yet upgrade to a real car like a skyline seriously though sorry to hear it didnt end well for one of you, good luck getting back on the road!

yeah tell me about it, im lucky it was only one that didnt make it out of the way, at least five were ambling across in front of me when i came over the crest..also lucky i wasnt doing the speeds i had been just moments before Matty flynn off this here forum promised to help me change the radiator, will ring around for a new one tomorrow. Now if only i can get Matt up during daylight hours..

suhweet thanks man, i hope the Sydney panel people can do it as cheap as the ones you found in Perth. I am a little buoyed by that, cheers

^^ frikkin really?> thats very cheeky of them and total arse, i would imagine a lot of mates/blokes with awesome girlfriends would be able to afford it only by chipping in and sharing the drive. that rule totally kills that angle and loses them a shedload of business i imagine. flamin mongrelz..

Damn you and your cold logic Conan! if i can get it done for less or near 800 without claiming i sure will, could go up by 20 bucks a month or more next year with the claim, as you say, deer or not mate at work said getting the radiator fixed could cost a few G's so bit worried about that is all. wont know anything for sure till monday..luckily theres about a dozen panel beaters to choose from down the road in Alexandria..

LOL yeah its all yours Thelen, send me a PM with your number or something so i dont forget to keep it aside. Now im going via insurance i might have to go back to a stock bonnet oh and love your work landscribble, 'come at me bro' hehe. This deer was more like "WTF?! im getting out of h...BANG"

yeah according to the seller a Blitz sticker might save me from a defect notices as they are the only ADR approved CF bonnets for this model, might try it out for a while at least until i get hassled/cop a canary. R33 needs all the help it can get as its a heavy beast.. Tangles, CSB man, CSB the f**king snake, for real? i would have paid to see that..

Royal national Park, entrance is just off the Princess highway/acacia drive. Kirrawee to Stanwell tops. hit the dear on the way back just a few kms from stanwell Park. oh and heres some 'action footage'

saw this today on spreets.. http://spreets.com.au/deal/Sydney/adventure/7257/drive-three-of-the-worlds-sexiest-super-cars-from-sydney-to-gosford-and-back-for-449-lunch-included-valued-at-995?utm_source=spreets&utm_medium=Newsletter&utm_campaign=spreets_newsletter_Sydney just curious if anything thinks its good value, has been before or would? not sure i can afford it now but it seems like fun, i would be too tempted to cane off into the distance though..

yeah will grab a shot of the engine bay on my way to work, obviously im walking for the foreseeable. Looks pretty fine though other than bent support and radiator. LOL at new pants, it happened too quick for me to even get scared..

yeah weirdly it didnt go above halfway on the temp gauge and the aircon was working fine, plenty of coolant in the ...er, coolant tank thingy though it was definitely leaking the green stuff all the way home..otherwise though the engine sounded and acted fine. weird chemical smell notwithstanding. oh and this bonnet is in brissie in SAU's own classifieds thread..$500 yay looks like i found my new bonnet, dont know why he says race only. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/373096-r33-series-2-carbon-over-fibreglass-bonnet/

Weirdly the front bar seems undamaged but with the excess being only 800 and all that other stuff needing to be done i might be better off going the insurance route. thanks Terry, im starting late on monday so will hit a few local panelbeaters up. .also someone on Facebook has a bonnet for me, it is black though so will check Skyline spares as well for matching colours. no idea how much it would be to fit a new radiator, should i go for one of the more expensive 'race' spec ones for all the upcoming track work? found this on ebay...tempting for 800 clams..

Nasho run, decided to take the lead on the way back up to Sydney on the return leg. A few turns in and BAM! out of nowhere this bunch of errant Deer jump out in front of me, one bouncing off the bonnet and making quite a dent on my ego/skyline. Had dropped back to about 80clicks but it still put a hurt on.. Not sure if its going to cost more to just fix myself or pay the excess and claim it on insurance..radiator was hissing and popping all the way home so obviously that needs to be replaced, new bonnet of course. anything else i could have missed? do i go to a panel beaters or mechanics? not sure if should post the poor bugger i hit. was just sitting there dazed after it pulled itself off the road, did ring the Po Po to come take care of it..

still got it?

howabout the radiator? curious what postage of bonnet would be to sydney..

bonnet? how much and what colour?

yeah maybe he has given up on SAU? still got the bonnet mate?

why dont they make these anymore if the demand is so high? sorta thinking about getting one to improve fuel economy as apparently it makes quite a difference and could save me money in the long run. 1100? i know you said 'firm' but im still just curious hoping to get a 'bargain'

how much for bonnet and where are you mate? 0410644102
