:rofl:

goddam it!!

I locked up the brakes big time (saw my skid marks tonight hehe) as it hopped across in front of the car but I still clipped it with a HUGE whack on the drivers side front... but the damage doesn't seem to be too bad. My drivers side headlight is smashed to pieces and the end of the front quarter panel is slightly dented, but other than that - seems to be ok.

sooo, can anyone recommend a good smash repairer? And do you think i'd be better off finding a new headlight myself to save some $$? i think I'll need the whole unit.

thanks guys...oh and take it easy on hindmarsh dr late at night ;)

Damn that sucks, I hit a wallaby a couple of months back, didnt do much damage to my car except now i have a couple of flat spots that make the driving a little rougher.

My g/f's car just got fixed at Burgins bodyworks in Belconnen, was the one that NRMA reccommended. I dont know how they are with prices as the crash wasnt my fault so i didnt have to pay. But they did do an awsome job, always kept me informed of what they were doing and tried their best to get the car done for me asap. I can highly reccommend them.

Cheers

My mate hit a baby roo last night at about 2am leaving my place, right in my street. He drives a 4WD, his car was fine but he killed the roo. The worst part is i told him not to go fast down my street cause i know they're always about yet he still hit one.

Anyways, sorry about your car, and good luck with the repairs.

Shell I would try to source the light and the front pannel on the site. Then get the pannel painted and fit every thing your self (if there is no stucture damage!). Will only end up costing you a couple hundred if you go that way... If you are not sure about pulling bits off your car there are always people here that can help. It would only be a couple of hours once the pannel is painted and my and Jay95R33 could help you out...

Sorry for speaking for you Jay...

Saw that this morning. Roos are always hanging out round your place. You'se feeding them or something!

Hit a roo 2 years back - dinted front quarter panel and took passenger side mirror off, cost round 800 to fix eveything (panel, new mirror, fit & paint). Dudes out in HALL did it!

Now that's chuncky !!

Shell - place in Hume was Prestige Automotive - Unit 4, 3 Sleigh Place. If you go in to talk to them about it, talk to Pete, he is the owner of the place. Tell him that Jayson (the fella that wrote off his silver R33) sent you. He might give you some $$ off..

Pete doesn't mind a chat either :D Everytime I popped in there I'd end up talking for 30 minutes :D

thanks so much guys.

I'll go get some quotes next week...gonna pay for it myself cos the excess on my insurance is $1100 and i'm ASSUMING it will cost less than that!! i really hope so anyway! :)

and I'll try some jap wreckers for a headlight (or maybe two Ewen, if they're not too pricey ;) )

Veilside R33, tell me more about the 4dr ones...i didn't know they were different?

GunMetalR33 & Jay.. thanks for the offer! u guys are too nice! :cheers: but i think i'll take it into a shop tho...just wanna be sure there's not more damage i can't see. but thanks heaps :)

What i can't work out is what happened to the damn roo!!! If i didn't kill it, I sure as hell broke it's legs lol. I pulled over to check the damage (and throw all the glass from the headlight into the bushes)...looked back to the big cloud of smoke and fog behind me and it was goooone!!

    • 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.
