I keep spotting this red R31 coupe on my street in Ngunnawal, was a nice looking ride but has hit something big time, front grill and bumper is missing and back left has been smashed to.

Anyone know this car?

I know the car

And to be honest, I'm not surprised that it's damaged..... Which is quite sad because it used to be the tidiest 31 I've ever seen

spotted a silver R34 GTT today, and also a very sexy black one could've been a GTR..

also a white R33 with CF bonnet and no rear wing on the parkway.

and Supafly yesterday!

that was more then likely me Shell, car was very dirty and there is a wing but its tiny (stealth)

p.s. the cat is now out of the bag CF...

Your not suprised? Whys that mark? Because you know Tom so well?

I know the car and the owner. I took some pics of it 2 hours before it came to its demise on a wet and hail soaked canberra road. It is a massive loss, as this was the finest R31 i've ever seen. In my opinion it isnt fixable (cost of new shell vs repair bill) but the owner is very keen to see it repaired.

In fact if you want to offer any help then a PM to myself would be awesome.

We seem to have a misunderstanding Stevie, I didn't mean that the way you think.

PM sent, maybe I can help

Saw a few Skylines out in Braddon last night, all of which Bluprint listed. One r32 was mine, didn't see you at all supadan.

That Cima is owned by Danny, he is part of CanberraCruises, the club thats listed in my signature. Such a nice car.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
