torque Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 goday guys, its been a while since ive been on here and here is my story Working shif work has its benefits but can be a pain in the ass as well Its was 3am i was going to work, pitch black on the road, low visability, driving to the airport on the backstreets of craigieburn when out of no where jumps a kankaroo on the middle of the road was going a little over 100k and came to a complete stop in about 5 seconds, into a fence and a pile of rocks. Car is totalled need a whole new front end Dont know now if its time to move on from the skyline range or bite the bullet and repair it didnt have full insurance so i have to fork out the money anyways life can suck at times Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/171440-missed-a-kangaroo/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismo Racer Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Sorry to say, but the car would never be the same again... it's time for an upgrade At least your safe Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/171440-missed-a-kangaroo/#findComment-3161058 Share on other sites More sharing options...
torque Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Yes I easliy could have been wrapped along a tree and infused into the fence so I am lucky in that sence. I also understand that the car will never be the same again The angle im looking at here is that for around the 5g mark I should be able to restore the car to around the original condition as opposed to having to spend 10-15g again here are some shots of the car Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/171440-missed-a-kangaroo/#findComment-3161470 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R TUNE Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 why not keep your car pull of all the good stuff, get another r33 stock so it dont cost you much and then put all your goodys on to that car. thats what i would probably do if it was me or sell it and get a R34 GTT.

foznice Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 ouch. Sound like you only had third party? Sorry to hear. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/171440-missed-a-kangaroo/#findComment-3165843 Share on other sites More sharing options...
torque Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 yeah man i only had third party ive had the car about 5 years and they wanted far too much for full insurance, its amasing how insurance companies can charge high premiums for a car over 13 years old now. It didnt make sence to me Looks to me like we are forced to buy aussie made cars just so our insurance isnt as high, but the simple fact is that aussie made just just do not drive like the imported stuff !!
