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 !!!

    • 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.
