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

clicky if you're not squeamish

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....

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
