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!!

    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
    • Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.
