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

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
