worst i hit was a rabbit in my silvia, ****in serves it right for runnin into the highway while i was travling at high speed

I read this post and thought to myself...How old is this guy? Its a car, get over it! I feel way more sympathetic to the roo then to some holden that has a dent on the bonnet and a stuffed windscreen. Maybe he should upgrade his brakes?

I totally agree.

Theres nothing they can do about it, their fault for running out onto the road but they don't know better. Sometimes theres nothing you can do but hit them. I've had a close call in a national park before with a Kangaroo.

yeah, it was raining at the time, and that roads pretty sliprey when its wet.

the place that he hit it was jsut under the train tack, and they have metal gaurd rails, so swerving was outa the question.

his brakes locked up and he jsut slid. hit the roo and slid a fair way after. he wasnt speeding either.

it was pretty cool accually, there was roo's leg bone about 10m away on the side of the road, jsut bone with a bit of blood on it.

the roos mouth was dribbling blood.

it kept making grunting noises at me.

its tail was bleeding :/

and its leg had no bone in it whatso ever and it was twisted over itself.

was pretty sad but atleast we put it down.

died after about 15-20min's

and the vet took it away.

this girl kept crying, im like errrrrr.

even my girl didnt cry.

but it was a bit sad, i shed a tear for the commodore. took him ages to save up for that car, 4months jsut to get the spray job done. all gone in a matter of secconds.

    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
    • Gee she looks a bit rear heavy in that first pic! Sounds like a great project with the kids, but as I guess you know R series stuff is getting hard to find and pre that is pretty much impossible these days
    • Thanks GTSboy. I will inspect the valves actually, is this something I can do while they are still in the head? The block/bores don’t look bad to be honest hey, I can still see the cross hatches in the bores and they still measure 86.5mm. I’m not sure how to measure the installed ring gaps but I will do that and take it to someone who can. 
    • I’ve had the same headache with my lowered car, scissor jack first then floor jack every time. Ended up grabbing an extra-low profile aluminum jack (about 70mm entry height) and it finally slides under the lip without drama.
