Disaster has struck,

Slipping to Devonport via Frankford Saturday

Minding my own business

Just reached the new plantation area

when a wallaby decided to cross without first looking both ways

end result = My skyline -1 front bar Tasmanias wallaby population -1

I did take great delight in seeing the crows picking at the carcass on my way home

If anybody knows of a front bar to suit 32 gts-t getting around i'm in the market for one.

Cheers all,

Tassie Devil

tell me about it, last night doing 60 on the back road to youngtown in lton, and i clipped one too, the buga went under the car, checked today, only slight missing paint. AGAIN.

Sorry to hear about your damage.but it looks preatty fixable. There is a guy in hobart that does some excellent plastic welding, he is monnah, so you might check out the yellow pages

There are a couple of peeps around that are great plastic welders but you sorta get what you pay for like anything these days.

I know a few people that are great at what they do and more than happy to do things out of hours so if your down south and cant find anyone let me know :D

hi shane

i have a spare front bar. its a stock skyline one with fog lights in it. looks pretty nice but it needs a few little bits fixed and its gunmetal in colour so it would need a spray. which you would need anyway. maybe worth looking at, maybe not. offers there anyway mate.

it doesnt look that bad, and should be fixable quite easly. otherwise todd (catkicker) might have one?

and it could be worse, one of my mates brothers brought a brand new XR6 sedan, took it on a road trip, and a roo hit his car, smashed the rear drivers side door in pretty bad :ninja:

    • Would be easier to just run the RB25DET gearbox, all you would need to do is have the tail shaft / prop shaft shortened. S15 uses the rear ABS diff sensor for the dash speedo, so you can skip using the gearbox speed sensor.
    • Was the failed sensor by any chance this one? Did it just fail or start pissing on itself? I ordered one too, for fuel pressure monitoring, and now I am hesitant to put it in, hehe. Where did you find a brand one?
    • You'd be insane, when a brand new 8HP is ~$4k, and all the work to put a 6 in would cost the same as an 8 and the 8 is a completely established swap. If you think that getting a cheap Falcon box is going to make it a cost effective exercise, then you're not accounting for the extra $10-15k that the task will consume.
    • any further information on this? also interested in putting a zf6 in behind a rb30!
    • They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.
