I hit a roo :(

Dead centre at the front so the bonnet is all pushed up, grille is smashed, radiator etc etc

I can now see under the bonnet from the sides, even though it's closed, cos it curves up LOL

That sucks! hope it all gets sorted soon!

It wasn't random at all - You were targeted by this active marsupial terrorist herd.

I think it's the same one that tried to get you in Shepperton during the the SAU Nationals 2012 ??

Conspiracy Theory !!!!

X fingers insured .............

(Ps. Roo distracted by glow from sun burnt bewbs)

Haha I think they're all out to get me.... I've had many near misses since Shepparton. Usually I can see them coming and work out a manouvre but this one came out of nowhere... I think it literally jumped out of the dark to a few cms in front of my car in one leap.... hit it at 80km with no time to brake :(

I hope you took it to the hospital.

Roos are always sneaky jumpers ! I've learnt that their defensive tactic is to "confuse" a predator by immediately changing their direction when they hop along; which is why a lot of cars hit them which is why a lot of Roos hit cars.

Did the Roo have insurance?

If the front was smashed in, the yellow one might have been me :(

it was in the morning around 8:20am the yellow was heading down towards wanniassa. From the damage your talking about its wasnt you unless if im getting blind.One jumped infront of the car in Hume early morning hours was very lucky i was going slow enough to stop.

I need to make sure im covered if i hit a roo.JustCar doesnt cover me from what ive just seen but im also too young for Shannons or any other one willing to insure a youngen. If i ever hit one ill make sure it doesnt die so that I tortue it later on for the damage.

The black R34 could have been me. Havent lived in Canberra long but yet to see another black 34. Seen heaps of Skylines around, wish I knew about this thread earlier on.

as i was exiting the richardson roundabout, i think i went over an oil patch and my car went sideways freaky shit. then in he middle of the struggle to gain control I spotted a black r34.i would like to thank the guys at fifth gear, otherwise would have panicked and written my car off

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • 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.
