Hello,

A work ute took on my R34 when they changed lanes without looking (Nice to know I pay high insurance and I am the one that knows the basics of lane changing)

I am in a pickle as I can not find the parts needed to fix my only means of transport. The panel beaters cant seem to locate the following either, can you help?

Right side quarter panel

Right side indicator (small one)

Right side mirror

I have called A1 wrecking & cresta and they dont have any parts available.

Anyone know another place in Brisbane or goldcoast??

If is an insurance job... Kick your insurance company in the arse!!!!! The insurance companies like to hold on to their cash for as long as they can and therefore quite often give people the run around. So too do a lot of repairers(like to hold on to their cash). Parts can always be found! It is most probable that the insurer and the repairer just dont have adequate sources (they dont go all that far out of their way). When my car was sick i sourced all the parts that the insurance company said that they couldnt find and found them quite easily!

(some second hand import yards get a lot of half cuts)

Thanks

I am trying locate these parts as I have dealt with this BS before (non import) I already have the insurance companies customer service ombudsman contact details as a 3-4+ week wait for panel damage is not acceptable.

All I want is to find the parts - tee up the panel beaters with the wreckers.

if its covered under insurance get them to fly new parts in from japan! Thats what happened to me when my U13 Atessa got rearended. All brand new panels flown in from Japan, took a bit longer but worth the wait. You should not need to locate parts for them so they can do it cheaper.

Man, I opened this thread thinking it was another my Skyline beat your Commowhore reading...

Sorry to hear, hope it all works out for you. The insurance company should be able to locate all the parts for you... I'd hope so anyway for the amounts some of our premiums are :rofl:

    • Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.
    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
