I hit a fence post on purpose once.. in my first car, well it was my sisters car (we had to share it) and she was annoying me, so i reveresed into the pole in her car :D Wouldnt call it a pole either.. more a cement slab, knocked it clean over too. Was quite proud of that..

On other note, least its not too bad, easy fix!

My missus recently reversed the 4WD out of the carport.............I tried to explain to her that its easier if you raise the door first with the little white button............AAMI were really good with the claim

ahh thats horse sh*t..maybe get scandyflick to do his thing to it to make it better...lol like what he did to my car at SMASA shown shine :thumbsup: lol

lol, unfortunately that can only make a car awesome by association :), cant fix front bars.

ahww.. sorry to hear about the accident. i know how it feels... i've done pretty much the same thing while ago.... it was heart breaking. got it all fixed now though. got the car back a couple of days before.

Good luck with fixing it up. make you feel much better when fixed up, but much poorer in your pocket if you go to a crach repairer.

HAHAhaahah thats gold pete!!

Sorry to hear cara... I am sure most of us have done something similar... I know I have.

yer but u could have done the decent thing and cleaned up the mess i now have stains on my rear bumber lol

thats diirrtttyyy :P

ive never hit anything since i got the car (other than the scraping underneath the front bar) ive had people hit me (twice) so i definetly feel a bit silly that its been over a year and a half and only now it happens lol

oh wells we took the front bar off last night, came off easier than what i thought it would which is good and put the stock one back one looks a little weird right now but gonna have to get used to it cause its gona stay like that for the next couple of months so we can work on the front bar and fix a heap of things on it (and strengthen a few spots on it)

gonna look a bit weird fully kitted car with stock front bar on lol

that'll make a matching pair :w00t:

those who have seen the ute lately wil know what i mean hahahaha

ah, the old fence post.................done the same before, and its annoying, but at least its fixable

Ah bugger, lucky it wasnt worse. could have scrapped the door and guard and would cost more to fix.

yeah we were a bit worried about that cause when we were putting the stock bar back on, the passengers side isnt fitting right, but we have just assumed that its because the front bar has flared out a little since being in storage and that there is nothing wrong with the front guard (there are no scratches anything like that on there)

but yes it would have defintly cost more if i had hit the front guard....even thought we are doing the fibreglassing repairs our selves, the cost of getting the front bar resprayed is about 300 alone. but i guess thats better than 600-700 that it could be if a panel beater did all the repairs.....

i just think at least we will try and fix all the little stress fractures in the front bar and make it look like new again :P

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
