Hi all. I'm pretty new to these forums and don't think I have posted yet. So I wanted to say hello and introduce myself. Username is [ slayer ] on any forum i'm on incase people here frequent other sites.

I'm the owner of a black series 2 r33 gtst. I've owned it since November last year, and it was stock except for rear strut brace and cd player.

My first 2 cars were s12's which I sold following the purchase of my 3rd car, my 1988 Honda CRX. I love the CRX but unfortunately was written off last year after an incident with a wombat on the road, and about 3 weeks later I got my Skyline.

So far I have made a custom parcel shelf, and installed 2 way speakers in it, a 4 channel amp in the boot on a custom made panel which covers the battery. Have a 12" sub running off the amp and i'll soon be installing front splits also to run off the amp. I've also installed a turbo timer.

Finding it hard to locate trusted suppliers and workshops etc as all my car enthusiast days have been with the CRX so I feel like a fish out of water and hence waited a while to post on here.

Overall intention is to get the car suitable for track work, but also can't deny I enjoy making the car look a bit different to stock.

Would love to know peoples opinions on my current plans for a Final Konnexion bodykit, Racing Hart CX rims (17" i think), and a flush sitting boot without spoiler.

Hey welcome Slayer,

just curious how much damage did the wombat do?

I've heard of urban myths that if you ran over a wombat they are so tough that axels can snap, rip off wheels etc. just thought it would be interesting to know the truth.

cheers

Michael

welcome buddy....

you want a track car? start with the suspension and brakes, then come see me for a set of semi-slicks. i'll hook ya up.... :)

Semi-slicks hey ... what can you do?

Also, I hit a wombat a couple of months ago in my Falcon ute. Hit it on the left side. It destroyed the front bumper bar and I needed a wheel alignment but that was it. I reckon I got off light.

i wonder if someone has a copy of the pics aurua took when he nailed a wombat. From what i remember broken front bar, bent intercooler piping, can't rember if that was it or if it also did something to one of his wheels and shock absorber ???

I took this one.. it was very yuck :P

ah yea thats the one shell although looks like it hit the front not the side. either way not pretty :wave:

Wow, that looked pretty serious, but I suppose they are sturdy little critters. how much was it to fix?

but not as bad as I thought as in, wheels detached from cars etc.
