Finally got the car...[pics]

[chopobo]

yes finally got the car

but damn the guy didn't put a 400R bar on for me, jus a normal gtr bar, guess he forgot but oh well.

enjoy

but some really bad stuff happened. the shock is still sinking in

went into this carpark at glenny station and connected to it is another car park. looking straight on it looked flat, BUT it was infact slanted like a hill and i didn't see it. End result cracked front bar already. Pretty bad, i'm quite depressed about it being first day and all. The front is too low, it scrapes too much, even in driveways, its about 12.5cms off the ground. sigh is there anyway i can get this without changing the springs.

i can handle the damage and live with it, but i just dunno how to explain it to my mum. If you look in the pics you can see the two cracks in the middle, even the right indicator fell off.

how much would it cost to repair something like this.?

thanks:o

heheh, welcome to the world of aftermarket frontbar meet driveway humps tragedy!

12.5cms not too bad, you just need to drive more carefully and not to trust any driveway/carpark entrances.

if your car's been lowered, best bet is to change spring and raise it back to factory height. I don't see any other way, except you have an aftermarket height adjustible coilover suspensions.

[chopobo]

yeah i told the guy to put it back to stock spring height

he only raised it a bit

how much does it cost to fix a front bar?

[NismoR34]

sorry to hear about the bar - that sux.

[chopobo]

but i can live with it

that car park at glenny station is ****ed. Cant even see it coming until the last minute.

But you get some good air off it if you go fast enough in a normal car, so i've seen...

[chopobo]

Can't wait inark, but still gotta settle some minor details first like insurance and then I'll be all set

Yes of course! they barely let me get the car you know!

u wanted a 400R bar, and got a GTR and all u can say is, "oh well" ?????

hehe actually I didn't pay for it, he said he would change it for me for free but i guess he didn't have any left, but damn my wheels are shocking, gotta repaint them.

Hey Chopobo, were you at glenny tonight, i thought i saw a r33 like yours parked in front of the chinese restaurant at the bus stop???

yeap that was most likely me in front of that chinese restaurant near lucky cup. i left when this woman gave me a greasy look. very uncomfortable. im not going there again.

Nice car chop.. you can try weilding your crack then a respray..

eh? how do you weld plastic?

i dun think i can do it myself. prolly get someone to do it. how much would it cost?

is it cheaper jus changing the whole front bar?

[Horus]

thats pretty phat

good work chops

[Guest INASNT]

chop first time i took my car home from the importer i couldnt even get it up my driveway no matter what angles i tried, and yes i ***ing cracked the front of my 400r bar on the first day 2. My car was so farking low the front bar used to touch on speed humps even if i went fully sideways on em, i had to leave my car at my gfriends house for the first 2 days i had it. I ended up going back to the importer and changing the springs, now it just touches a little on the way out of my driveway.

U live preety close to me hope to see u on princess highway so we can have a run
