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

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
