looks quite bad but hopefully its all starting to look pretty good now!

Makes me wonder though. My mate who has too much money and not enough brains, is just gonna lash out $6500 to get his GTR fixed. Similar damage levels I think. I told him he was best off doing it himself if he wasn't too lazy to try..

Looks like you took out a bit of a farm there smooth :rofl:

haha its not a crow bar, its a pinch bar :D

get it rite will ya.

Dude, a pinch bar is about 2 foot long and has a hook in one end......a crow bar is 6 foot long and weighs 20 or so kgs........... :D

ouch man

that is pretty bad,

you should get someone who knows what their doing to measure the sub-frames to see if their bent at all. Any harder and you would have taken out the radiator and probably bent the chassis too

best bet: Take it to a well known import repairer and ask them to have a look, aslong as you seem like you will get it fixed there. Theyll be happy to do it for free.

DMD MITE be able to do it, buy their mainly bodykit, not body-repair

id say just get a wheel alignment done that will give u a fair indication of whether or not something is out of wack or not, thats what i did after my run in with a gutter, luckily it all came up sweet. Id say u should be right though.

Trust me, ive been here and done this, not as bad as this.. but ive been there

well actually im 'there' now hehe, except im lazy and getting it done by someone else, get it back in a week :D

I can tell you one thing thats certain, you have so much more respect for your car after something like this happens.

Its all complete now! Ac fan and two new lights went on today! The lights are different, but god damn they look nice :) Took me a while to get it all to sit properly...

Knore: you should have done it yourself, if i didnt have to wait for parts etc, I would have had it done in 1 day. About 12 hours labour I guess...

Final pics of progress and finished product to come tommorow...

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
