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 !!!

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly.
