Luck was not on my side on tuesday night.

I was driving home from albany and a pack of roos decided to have a go at my car. one of them took out my front end busting the front spoiler and lights an another two bounced off the sides of the car.

The damage left the car undrivable and a broken peice of the radiator shroud cut the timing belt by the looks. Now I have to wait for the whole insurance thing, before I can drive around again.

Rev look at it as a blssing.

Now you get all new paint redone and stone chips removed. While its at the paint shop get all the little imperfections fixed for a little extra cash.... and presto.. NEW CAR.

Sorry to hear the troubles mate. I've been lucky enough to avoid any roos on the drive back home to Albany occasionally but have seen the damage those buggers ONE can do but three? Ouch.

I agree w/ IMACUL8 - bellsing in diguise - time to get those little imperfections fixed.

rule number one of driving the nullabour

(note i have done it 20 times in a car and 100+++++ in buses and trucks)

if in anything smaller than a 20 tonne truck fitted with a bullbar DONT DRIVE IT AT NIGHT the roos come to the side of the road to eat the fresh grass etc growing in the culverts especially after a bit of rain

    • I have two German Shepherds that like to bite things that are in places they shouldn't be. Plus the cars/batteries on chargers are inside a locked garage, inside that fully fenced and locked yard. If you can get the car out, you can have it, as I'll be having one hell of a laugh at your expense.
    • Looks like they changed the wording in the manual for the new model. I have a different model. Mine is CC1206. Not CC1206-XLI. Mine doesn't support lithium at all. I can't find the manual for my model online and they don't list the model on the Century website anymore either. In my manual it says what I quoted and that they recommend to not leave it on 🤷‍♂️ Sounds like you'd be fine with this one now.
    • Thanks for actually answering every single point! I noticed the date only after posting. And yes, looks like things have changed a little bit since then. FWIW, looks like Government Gazette No 253 has the current emissions test procedure. Sounds pretty reasonable altogether. One thing I learned from this is that it's possible to check whether a catalyst does any work by measuring the temperature. Catalyst outlet temp is at least 40°C higher than inlet temps if there is a reaction happening. I'd be curious to check this on mine but don't have a thermometer. Because purely going by smell it can't be doing much. Personally I'd be okay to pay for the test as long as it's within reason. My main concern would be to lose my rego because it definitely wouldn't pass the test in its current state. I'll see if I can do a bit more digging and see what's involved in doing this nowadays.   To be fair I don't think it's stopping many people from doing the modifications anyway. It just puts a barrier up to doing things right  
    • Uhhh if anyone sees this - I bought a BRZ years ago, on my fulls soon so back on the market for the R34!
    • Research research research, and tackle the important things first, like the rust, because as a wise old hippie and some crazy horses once said "rust never sleeps" Nothing good comes easy and fast, and nothing that comes easy and fast is typically good
