Unfortunately it was 1am in the morning driving back to Adelaide, I was taking it easy and on a sweeping bend so I didn't really feel safe swerve to avoid the fox when I caught it in my headlights before it hit.

+1 I would have just hit it as well rather than try to swerve & miss it.

My dad wrote off his 1st 2 cars (one of them was some <$1k cheapo Mitsubishi sedan) when he tried to swerve & avoid some stupid kangaroos jumping onto the road, which just resulted in him losing control & flipping the car. This happened on route 1 on the way from Perth to Kalgoorlie.

Then when he bought his 3rd car a $3k Subaru 1800 wagon, which came with a bull bar. That thing made easy mince meat of stupid small animals running onto the road without looking...

holy shit, this thread is getting intense lol kara what have u started.. show me more photos haha. Loved the story of the 'Tong' noise hahaha i can just imagine that.. i would probly laugh pretty hard.

i remember once me and a mate were driving along at like 2am in a r32 and he hit a possum but he swerved around it but still hit its leg, the poor thing was hobbling to the side of the road, then a commodore came flying around the corner, we were on the road jumping around pointing to drive on the other side of the road so he didnt hit it, instead he turned right towards us and the possum and ran over it.... the thing like flew up in the air and just inflated... there was only some blood and internals hanging out its mouth, but it was all full of air.... haha like a puffer fish kinda thing, just inflated...poor possum, but f**k it was funny haha

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

Love the way people are replying to this like Funky was cruising along the hume and happened to hit a Coyote in his Skyline...

Pretty sure this might be a Nascar or similar guys and gals, and as far as the bodykit is concerned, they would probably have fresh front bodies ready to go.

Ohh true truee lol, my bad...but still I am kidna amzed it got stuck in the engine like that haha.

i'm not. at 255kmh hitting something that is pretty much not moving is going to make a f**king big mess. it would hit with the same force as a head on collision where both objects are traveling at close to 130kmh

here are some new pics everyone :D

the new bar arrived yeesterday and is ready to be primed on monday :)

after taking off the reo bar - which will be repainted and some rust fixed....

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
