Not a mod.

Hit and run.

There are several four letter words Id like to type. But I dont want to risk banning.

Im devistatd to say the least. Its taken me several hours to build up the courage to see the full extent in day light.

Only about a month after spending $500 odd on GTR bonnet, latch and grille. And only one week after I got on top of my general maintanence (ABS unit, grease bushes, brake pads, brake fluid, oil temp gauge, oil change, oil filter, petrol fuel lines changed etc.)

Damage done:

Bent GTR Bonnet + deep scratching (perhaps may be bent back)

Bent and chipped paint Guard (perhaps can be bent back)

Shattered GTR Grille

2 x Headlights

2 x Blinkers

GTST Front bar

GTST Reo bar

Bent GTR bonnet latch

I fear that the radiator support my be damged too.

I dont think Im going to se get the insurance company involved. Its a $2500 excess. Money that I can take to spend myself on rebuilding. Im trying to put a positive spin on it by buying a Finnal Konnexion front bar, GTR N1 head lights, GTR blinkers and GTR front quarter pannels. Straighten GTR Bonnet, Carbon fibre GTR grill. But its an eye wateringly large amount of money I shouldnt have to spend cos some f*$king toss bag on red P's decided to come in too quick into a round about, and understeer/lock up and plow into me!

Sorry to hear about that mate

I was pissed off enough on Wednesday when someone hit my car and left without leaving a note.

I would hate to think how I would be if that happened to me

Gets worse.

F*ckin rails are bent!

Any one know what that means?

5K+ at least to fix. Or. ay the excess, get the money and some man in a suite takes my lovely awy from me.. ;)

I want to meet the man that ran into me..

sorry about the blue stuff on the number plates....its just i have these posted up on more public places and i just use them whenver i post pics up of my car :P

also: i feellll sooooo sorry for the guy who got hit and runned......thats gay man...usually i think im in controll of things like that..like i dont park anywhere unless i know the area (schoool) or the ppl (friends house) or i just dont park ther for long at all (in and out of coles etc)......and im carefull when i drive because of insurance ($3000 ex)....but a hit and run....fark man didnt think about that ay...cant do much if ur car comes out second best.....

also i just recently took the fog lights out(came with car from jap).....looks mean...post pics when i get some :D

you know that's the weird thing Cris. these rims make the car seem a lot higher than what it actually is.

there was about 120mm clearance with my sparco rims, the nismo's have the same rolling diameter so really the height shouldn't have changed.

see how the skirts go, if not i can always drop down 1 or 2 circlips on the bilsteins.

what diameter are the wheels? they look tuff tho.. and what skirts did you buy? theyl make the car look lower no doubt..photos dont do mine justice either, looks alot lower in real life

thanks - i'll try to get some high res pics later today.

the rims are 17 x 8.5, running 235s 595SS on them now. hopefully will have some 595RS semis to put on them at the end of the year. they are so amazingly light, makes me nervous driving them around.

p.s. - love the silhouette with those LMGT2 rims!!! hot!!

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
