yeah i did, took my foot of the accelerator,

hare looked like he was gonna run off into the trees in stuff but then turned around and went straight for my car and i hit the thing :D

That sucks.,I hit a kangaroo once at 120kph on my way to Queensland, didnt do too much damage though,,it wasnt a big one (Thank God)..just a bit of damage on the front bumper, I was driving my friend's Maxima

hmm suicidal hare.

That sucks. i was driving today and my drivers side window motor broke and the glass just slipped through to the bottom of the door, i duno if it cracked but i cant drive no that the motor is gone :D

do you have to pay or will you go through insurance?

lol your front bar looks like mine kinda, which had pre existing damage, but in my ownership has collected : 1 cat, 3 bunnies and a roo @ 100 km/h (which in smashing the front bar more took out the RHS headlight but didn't damage anything else).

Sif replace the front bar, thats what colour coded gaffa tape was made for 8) Mine also has the added benefit that when you park on something too low like a kerb, the bottom of the front bar just bends, because it's already broken :D

I see your hare at 90km/h and raise you a coyote at 320km/h

clicky if you're not squeamish

LOL

Unlucky

P.S ..At least the Coyote was looking away wen u hit it

i hite a pretty big hare (probably about the size or a large male cat) at about 90kmh in my 33. did a lot less damage to the front bar than yours, but then when i had bought my front bar (bought it from a wreckers for $100 cause it was badly damaged) i added a heap more fibreglass to it to make it a heap stronger. i thought the bar was going to be stuffed because i was on the brakes as i had just pulled onto an off ramp and was slowing down from 110kmh. but got to where i was going and there was a few small cracks in the paint in the corners off the mouth of it.

so is the headlight actually stuffed or just the mounts?

If its just the mounts, get them fiberglassed or plastic welded. Better than paying for new xenons.

well my excess is only $500 for my insurance, and my crash reparier is organising the new headlight and everything but he dies plastic welding too, and just said iot would be much esier to replace it

holy shite batman!!!! :D

u using fibre glass copy front bar??

Wouldnt think a genuine bar/factory plastic would crack like that.

Ive seen cars running genuine kits and hit much bigger things and come out less worse for wear then that.

well the 34 is booked in for monday to start getting fixed :banana: getting a totally different front bar.......still a fibreglass one but hey my girl is gonna have a totally new look :P

Fk thats messy.!! I would have thought it would have smashed the front of the car in more however. I would hate to be the poor Bastard trying to clean and repair that one. Vomit like a bitch the whole way. The longer you leave it the worse its gonna stink !!!

    • GTR front looks good. If you don't like it, I'll swap you a rolling shell R33 for it. Give you a fresh base to start with.
    • soon I also prefer the old look. At least I have more clearance for wheels up front now.
    • @PranK I think a few links in the original post need fixing...
    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
