I have never hit anything but years ago when i was doing work exp, walking home on rooty hill RD NTH some cop cars went flying past with sirens on, and bad luck for the old guy next door to me, he was walking his rotty in the park. Once it heard the sirens it took off and run under the front wheel of the cop car doing about 70-80, as the cop braked the dog got stuck under the front guard. He asked me to help him pull it out, so i did, then he took out his gun and shot it in the head. He then left to go to the robbery and left me there to explain what happened to next doors dog. The cops came back eventually.

hit a pigeon.. it bounced off the windscreen and left alot of feathers and then kept flying..

hot a poussum in the skyline.. the bloody thing ran out from under a car right under the wheel i didnt know wat the f**k it was.... this thing was the size of a small dog and was taking its last breaths on the footpath when i had a look for it...

felt so bad..

also saw 2 dogs get hit by one car after i nearly hit them coming the other way... one dog got hit in the back legs and ended up in the lane next to where it was hit yelping an shit..

the other dog got hit in the frontlegs, and head and ended up flying across 2 lanes and ending up in the bushes on the other side of the road..

pretty shocking thing to see

this thread is getting a bit ordinary. I've never killed anything bigger than an insect with my car. I have however lost two dogs, one hit by a car and left to die on the side of the road, an one backed over by a truck outside my house. not very nice when it happens to your pets. I've also been hit by cars myself (some whilst walking, some on push bike) a few times. mostly my fault though.

My mum's a wildlife carer and she's hit more stuff than me!

Best kill was the four baby birds she stood on and killed by accident

gee..talk about a big footprint :(

ha I was up in queensland with some mates a few weeks ago and I was driving, saw this thing in the middle of the road, crawling sooo slowly....makes it rather easy to avoid it. Turtle.

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
