Carnage! What a 150lb Deer @ 60mph does to a S14

[Ruby240]

Damage really isn't all that bad. Looks as if the rail on the drivers side wasn't touched. Going to just take my money and fix the car. I can live w/o paint for a while. I should be able to bolt everything on myself. The radiator was just an unlucky casuality due to the CAI. If it was a stock air intake the radiator wouldn't have been hurt at all. The cap just pushed against the sturdy Revo and cracked it good.

PM me if you have a Ruby Pearl Fender and/or Hood and/or Bumper! I would also consider black if these can be got to me w/o destroying me on shipping. Same goes for a Core support. If I can get a good core support any color that is NOT damaged to my door for less than $450. If not I'll get one brand new.

Well, I'm sure your car faired off better than the deer did.

[intel]

thats what you get for doing the legal limit.... had you been going warp speed.. you would've actually vaporized the deer, and gone through the mist effortlessly lol.

[IchigoMae]

so whats the story about the deer? shudda kept its bust and displayed it.

[Flybert]

Looks like there was damage in that area before you hit the deer. Rad support was already cracked and welded back together. The whole front end was painted over as well.

+1

sorry about the accident

at least you have an excuse to change out that rad support.

[CKAMC]

that area of the us (I assume tennesse and surrounding states) I would recommend carrying a shotgun to show who is boss.

car > nature

:keke:

[Ruby240]

Actually I'm up in Western Kentucky. I hit the deer right up by KY Lake going to a friends house. I wasn't speeding because the area is known for deer, and cops. During the day I fly out in that area, but at night time I always slow it way down for those reasons. I had turned my highbeams off for oncomming traffic, and after they had passed I was getting ready to turn them back on, and all I saw was this huge buck. Wasn't time to hit the brakes or anything. He came across one lane, and I threw him back across the road where he was comming from.

Yea, the front end was jacked up previously, and the people who did the work were morons. The rad support wasn't cracked previously. It's actually another rad support put on there very poorly. They just cut the original and under welded (put the new one UNDER, instead of butting it) and painted it. And they welded it for shit too.

I may live in Kentucky, but I'm not a hunter at all. I normally carry a .40S&W with me in the car for defence, but it stays out of the car when I drive back and forth to work in Illinois (the don't honor my CCDW). When I hit the deer, I was comming from work going to a friends house. Otherwise I would have emptied the clip in the dead deer just for fun.

[inertiadrft]

ohh deer, but wheres the blood??

[HyperTek]

any pics of the deer??

well glad your ok and safe

[LB.Motoring]

^ LOL.

apparently you need to get new aero,

may I suggest a company? :keke:

[mrmephistopheles]

tell me you at least took the deer home for some venison jerky.

[drew935]

+1 someone has got to pay for the damages. :keke:
like Russell Peters says in one of his skits...someone's gonna get a hurtin...

[LB.Motoring]

GOT JERKY?

[Phlip]

Your insurance company will need some proof that there actually was a deer.

... Zilvia will too, let's see them!

[mr_240sx]

im pretty sceptical about you hitting a deer.... cause ive done lots of collision work for insurance with animal hits, and trust me there is always hair/fur on the car stuck somewhere! but in those pics i dont see any evidance

[CKAMC]

Yeah I dont see any blood... you should have atleast been able to poke him good with that fender

[spdfreek0o]

... there is always hair/fur on the car stuck somewhere!

And sh!t. I work in a body shop and around here we get alot of deer hits. The bad ones always have sh!t smeared everywhere.

[Irukandji]

Where's the smashed windshield?

[steelbreeze]

oh the humanity...

[JSpecBnr32]

holy chit!

message length

[SiI40sx]

actually if u look at the shape of the hood it kinda does look like a deers body

[!Zar!]

There is no fur because he thought it was a deer.

When in reality, it was a person. That's why there is no fur.



In all seriousness, it looks like the car was washed after the accident. He took out the rest of the broken headlight and what not.

You can tell he hit something heavy but somewhat soft by there being no real scratched to the paint. Only dents.

[NemeGuero]

Robby that pic is fucked up!

Glad you're okay man. Poor car/deer. haha

[Ruby240]

The car was washed the day of the accident. If you look you can see the hoofprint of the deer on my door. Oh, I got a deer. But not all deer splatter into a gushing Freddy movie. The headlight, literly there is nothing left of it. I didn't take any of it out except part of high beam ballast. It pretty much exploded into nothing. This is exactly how the car sat since the wreck, I didn't touch it at the body shop, and neither did the shop owner.

The impact, I hit the deer at the hips. Which is why the front part of his body pushed the hood up, and slung him around into my fender, then his foot tapping my door. There isn't always fur everywhere. If you look closely you can see some hairs around the headlight area in a few of the pictures. Plus, the car was on the back of a roll-back doing 65mph down the highway for 30 miles.

This accident was the monday night before Thanksgiving. We have also had some big rains since then as well. I left the deer. I don't want anything to do with it. I know people that have been attacked by deer after an accident (them thinking it was dead and going up to it).

No deer pictures because of the previous reason. I don't want a deer head anywhere in my house. I'm not a hunter. Also, most of the time when a deer dies from a car wreck, its from bad internal bleeding, which will ruin the meet unless immediatly feild dressed. And well I don't like blood and guts.

[juice.def]

At least it wasnt a cow...

[180sExy]

wow that poor car/deer:eek2:

[Phlip]

I hit a deer once in my mother's car, it was a small one, I hit it on the hip as well, so there was no damage to the car, just a little hair. The deer glanced off the median in the road, then came to a stop on the other side. I was planning to run home and grab my camera and pistol and just to finish it, since it was still moving, it seemed.


... then the Coca Cola van came over the hill, brakes squeal, nothing.
I circle the block to survey the damage and, just as sure, there is a 9-foot crimson streak right in the middle of the road. "Dammit, I will go do something else, I guess... Shit"

[MasterOFDrift]

I got fenders hood bumper headlights if you are interested. I'm in WA though. oh also in your exact color

[Replicant_S14]

In my last deer encounter, the car didn't hit the deer. The stupid ass deer ran into the side of the car. Did $4k worth of damage to the GTI.

Fuckin' deer. I wish people would shoot them.

[articdragon192]

I got a line on brand new lights with Final lens', so I won't need headlights unless that falls through.

How much would you sell it all as a package for? Any damage to any of the parts? See if you can get me a shipping quote on the hood, ds fender, and the front bumper to 42001 (Paducah Kentucky). I can provide a buisness address for it to be shipped to, if it would be cheaper.

[aNskY]

this is what deer do to zenki's @ 100mph

oh dear........

[koukimonster139]

hmm dont know if someone already told you cause i didnt read through all the posts, but does your car have a salvage title? those rad. support welds are janky as a mofo. you may want to take some cross measurements of your upper rails as well as strut towers...

anyway srry about your car or w/e


damn even your wheels got mashed in!! :keke:

[Ruby240]

Yea, car already had a rebuilt title. Frame actually is straight, before I bought the car I had it checked by the guy who did all the frame work on my CRX.

[Dominic Axelson]

nice dude!!!!

[swift_style]

damn that's bad. but in the 2nd pic looks like the deer grabbed hold of your fender and slipped off of it leaving claw marks.

[FaLKoN240]

Ugh, stupid spammer, thank god he got banned.

Any updates on this car, since the thread got revived?

[ixfxi]

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y126/ansky3351/Aug13_002.jpg

no shit, and you STILL havent allocated sufficient funds to have that crappy multiple colored paint job color-matched? nice!

yeah, you're not budget... you're baller!

[ixfxi]

http://home.comcast.net/~solidfawx/cars/240sx/DSC00059.JPG

You drive around without headlamps? Damn, thats pretty hardcore... ;)


The headlight, literly there is nothing left of it. I didn't take any of it out except part of high beam ballast. I got a line on brand new lights with Final lens', so I won't need headlights unless that falls through.

Jokes aside, you really should reconsider your lighting options. I assume since you had a ballast, then you had an HID retrofit kit. The clear lenses wont help you see better btw, they'll only diminish any trace of a real lighting pattern.

Take the time to go with the 97-98 front end, or go with the german headlamps if you're staying 95-96.

[MadScientist]

I dont like Dear Hunting ...its boring 99% of the time.

I was driving with a friend to my mothers house in BFE... it was about dusk... knew there is alot of dear in the area, and sure enough... just as we came over the hill... one runs right in front of me...missed the first... slowed down a bit and HOLY SH!T... a second one was running beside the truck on the driver side. I had the windows down and you could hear the hoofs on the street... it was insaine. First reaction was to speed up to avoid it. By boy said there was 3 total... one ran across after the drag race w/ the second dear.
All in all... Dear Suck!!

Glad you are OK... hope you get your car back in working order.

Peace
Drew

[axiomatik]

what's up with that dude bumping all these old ass threads for WTB crap? I mean, i could understand asking in current threads, but to go out of your way to find year-old threads to ask in is just bizarre.

[jackjack]

deer ran out of the woods and t boned my dads truck. he lost control and went into a ditch. deer walked away like nothing.

[diomedes]

I'm hella piss already looking at those pictures!! If we hit any animals and damaged our car, we can't blame them.

[chibo]

Looks like you got off with relatively little damage.

[bryce with a y]

congrats bro!! looks good!

[DJ_Sunrise]

glad to see the car in one piece again :) is the radiator support steel or aluminum? just curious.. we have a steel welder at work, nothing for aluminum.

-Bart

[atopper]

that dear in the pic, was it so fuked up it couldnt move then you took the pic?, or is it dead with its eyes open LOl

[ECR33S14]

i had two deer hit my 3rd gen. eclipse. the first one jumped onto my hood and 1 week after i got my car back from the body shop another deer hit me in the exact same spot.

[aNskY]

no shit, and you STILL havent allocated sufficient funds to have that crappy multiple colored paint job color-matched? nice!

yeah, you're not budget... you're baller!


no, i STILL havent wasted money on painting a parts car :goyou: fag

[koukimonster139]

^ rofl. you needed a fucking parts car to fix your parts car.
now thats baller

[ixfxi]

no, i STILL havent wasted money on painting a parts car :goyou: fag

yeah yeah... a parts car is a truck, or a `84 civic wagon...

unless you're trying to say that the s14 you picked up is a spare car for extra parts, right?

so, you installed better seats into a car that you're going to be dumping soon?

whatever. seriously people, paint your shit-rides. theres no reason for driving around with unpainted panels, unless your name is chris dunn!

[Ruby240]

Lots of updates for the car. Sorry about the confusion on the headlights, when I said "ballast" I proably just wasn't thinking correctly. The car still uses OEM lighting. Final's were a bust, but oh well, no biggie there. Here are the updated pictures. The car sat for close to 4 months before I started to get work done on it. Took my time and got parts for great prices. Oh, and the body parts I picked up I got lucky and got them already color matched!

moose are big amazingly big :yum:

[prang11]

Wow I was a little late. Glad to see the car coming back together.

[Ruby240]

Well today I got bored with absolutely nothing to do. So I took my JDM Silvia Grille (already taken the silvia script off, my car isn't a Silvia so it does not belong), took some 800 wet paper and scuffed it up pretty good. Taped off the mirror ends and the black fins, and sprayed it with the can that I did my core structure (OEM color in a 11oz Aerosol), and proceeded to the garage to spray the grille so it would match my car (bought it off eBay, thought it was the same color, but the color was much lighter version of the USDM Ruby Pearl). Let it sit, gave it a second coat, let it dry, then finished it off with a coat of Dupli-color clear coat. Turned out absolutely great. Still going to wet sand it when I get time and give it a couple more coats of clear. But now it matches the color of my car greatly!
