Long story short, he had a fender bender with a white van. Causing the Pedestrain Saftey system to go off. Cost to fix? $11,000 pounds.
Hitting the tow bar of the white van

Does anyone know what the purpose of the Pedestrian Safety system is?

I hate it how manufacturers can pull this shit.
Was there anyway the guy could have gotten rid of the pedestrian system and bolt on normal hood adjusters?

hood thing is on a lot of euro cars cause they have to pass a pedestrian safety thingy... some cars just have a higher hood to over compensate for looks (the bmw "Z")
north america doesn't have that law.... yet... so continue buying your GTRs

I've seen A SHITLOAD more bad drivers than bad pedestrians in my lifetime.

not much because normal cars don't need gtr mechanics to put back the hoods.
