enjoy

but some really bad stuff happened. :D the shock is still sinking in

went into this carpark at glenny station and connected to it is another car park. looking straight on it looked flat, BUT it was infact slanted like a hill and i didn't see it. End result cracked front bar already. Pretty bad, i'm quite depressed about it being first day and all. The front is too low, it scrapes too much, even in driveways, its about 12.5cms off the ground. sigh is there anyway i can get this without changing the springs.

i can handle the damage and live with it, but i just dunno how to explain it to my mum. If you look in the pics you can see the two cracks in the middle, even the right indicator fell off.

how much would it cost to repair something like this.?

thanks:o

heheh, welcome to the world of aftermarket frontbar meet driveway humps tragedy!

12.5cms not too bad, you just need to drive more carefully and not to trust any driveway/carpark entrances.

if your car's been lowered, best bet is to change spring and raise it back to factory height. I don't see any other way, except you have an aftermarket height adjustible coilover suspensions.

u wanted a 400R bar, and got a GTR and all u can say is, "oh well" ?????

dude, u wanted a 400R, i'm assuming u paid for it, u should bloody well get it.

oh.... nice car, those p plate stickers look mean.... what they add, bout 100rkw's??? :P

hey looks good chop!! now we can sort out a date for the meet

Can't wait inark, but still gotta settle some minor details first like insurance and then I'll be all set

Why are u scared of ur parents seeing the cracks?

Yes of course! they barely let me get the car you know!

u wanted a 400R bar, and got a GTR and all u can say is, "oh well" ?????

hehe actually I didn't pay for it, he said he would change it for me for free but i guess he didn't have any left, but damn my wheels are shocking, gotta repaint them.

Hey Chopobo, were you at glenny tonight, i thought i saw a r33 like yours parked in front of the chinese restaurant at the bus stop???

yeap that was most likely me in front of that chinese restaurant near lucky cup. i left when this woman gave me a greasy look. very uncomfortable. im not going there again.

Nice car chop.. you can try weilding your crack then a respray..

eh? how do you weld plastic?

i dun think i can do it myself. prolly get someone to do it. how much would it cost?

is it cheaper jus changing the whole front bar?

chop first time i took my car home from the importer i couldnt even get it up my driveway no matter what angles i tried, and yes i ***ing cracked the front of my 400r bar on the first day 2. My car was so farking low the front bar used to touch on speed humps even if i went fully sideways on em, i had to leave my car at my gfriends house for the first 2 days i had it. I ended up going back to the importer and changing the springs, now it just touches a little on the way out of my driveway.

U live preety close to me hope to see u on princess highway so we can have a run :P

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
