Not a mod.

Hit and run.

There are several four letter words Id like to type. But I dont want to risk banning.

Im devistatd to say the least. Its taken me several hours to build up the courage to see the full extent in day light.

Only about a month after spending $500 odd on GTR bonnet, latch and grille. And only one week after I got on top of my general maintanence (ABS unit, grease bushes, brake pads, brake fluid, oil temp gauge, oil change, oil filter, petrol fuel lines changed etc.)

Damage done:

Bent GTR Bonnet + deep scratching (perhaps may be bent back)

Bent and chipped paint Guard (perhaps can be bent back)

Shattered GTR Grille

2 x Headlights

2 x Blinkers

GTST Front bar

GTST Reo bar

Bent GTR bonnet latch

I fear that the radiator support my be damged too.

I dont think Im going to se get the insurance company involved. Its a $2500 excess. Money that I can take to spend myself on rebuilding. Im trying to put a positive spin on it by buying a Finnal Konnexion front bar, GTR N1 head lights, GTR blinkers and GTR front quarter pannels. Straighten GTR Bonnet, Carbon fibre GTR grill. But its an eye wateringly large amount of money I shouldnt have to spend cos some f*$king toss bag on red P's decided to come in too quick into a round about, and understeer/lock up and plow into me!

Sorry to hear about that mate

I was pissed off enough on Wednesday when someone hit my car and left without leaving a note.

I would hate to think how I would be if that happened to me

Gets worse.

F*ckin rails are bent!

Any one know what that means?

5K+ at least to fix. Or. ay the excess, get the money and some man in a suite takes my lovely awy from me.. ;)

I want to meet the man that ran into me..

sorry about the blue stuff on the number plates....its just i have these posted up on more public places and i just use them whenver i post pics up of my car :P

also: i feellll sooooo sorry for the guy who got hit and runned......thats gay man...usually i think im in controll of things like that..like i dont park anywhere unless i know the area (schoool) or the ppl (friends house) or i just dont park ther for long at all (in and out of coles etc)......and im carefull when i drive because of insurance ($3000 ex)....but a hit and run....fark man didnt think about that ay...cant do much if ur car comes out second best.....

also i just recently took the fog lights out(came with car from jap).....looks mean...post pics when i get some :D

you know that's the weird thing Cris. these rims make the car seem a lot higher than what it actually is.

there was about 120mm clearance with my sparco rims, the nismo's have the same rolling diameter so really the height shouldn't have changed.

see how the skirts go, if not i can always drop down 1 or 2 circlips on the bilsteins.

what diameter are the wheels? they look tuff tho.. and what skirts did you buy? theyl make the car look lower no doubt..photos dont do mine justice either, looks alot lower in real life

thanks - i'll try to get some high res pics later today.

the rims are 17 x 8.5, running 235s 595SS on them now. hopefully will have some 595RS semis to put on them at the end of the year. they are so amazingly light, makes me nervous driving them around.

p.s. - love the silhouette with those LMGT2 rims!!! hot!!

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
