that doesnt look too bad

i had a hit like that ages ago, was gone for 1 week

1 week is reasonable, they might have to pull the boot out a bit

make sure you check if it aligns up properly when u get it back

and also make sure the boot opens / closes properly

That sucks!

Get it checked properly, you may need:

- rear bar skin (S1 and S2 are the same)

- rear bar reo

- rear tail lights (if mounts are broken or rear plastic cracked)

- rear "SKYLINE" fascia (if mounts are broken)

- repairs to rear quarters, boot lid, and tail gate.

May take time and a bit of work to do it properly. If it's not done right you'll keep having on going issues with water in your tail light indicators.

think youd be a lil more careful driving such a nice merc

these are good tips, thanks everyone. i dont really have any idea :S

im hoping to take it to "DT Panels"

they have been recommended from a friend.

hopefully they have easy access to all these parts

My call is as follows

Rear bar

Rear bar rio

Boot floor

Rear panel

Skyline fascia

Skyline badge

Trust me, I know about these bloody rear enders.

Will be off the road for about 2 week once all the parts are in stock.

BASS OUT

Exactly the same thing, happened to me but I was at the lights!

My quote was

TOTAL $3,346.00

NOTES :

THIS QUOTE IS FOR VISUAL DAMAGE ONLY

FURTHER DAMAGE MAY BE FOUND ON DISMANTLE

PARTS PRICES SUBJECT TO CHANGE!

It looks almost exactly the same but just imagine, your big dent on the right!

Such a horrible feeling!

    • This isn't for lotsa powers, and time and effort isn't even a thing I'm concerned about The whole reason is "Just because fun", and "Just because fun" is what I do And whilst there are other kits, with better and more modern turbos (Rev9 use the same Kraken manifold I believe.....EDIT... nope, the Kraken is a cast jobbie, the REv9 uses welded up stainless, plus $8000 AUD before shipping, installation and tuning) Where else in Sydney can I do a drive in drive out with the after sales support that MX5 Mania give My Turbo 86 made around 200kwatw on a AVO turbo kit that Pulse fitted, and it was over 100kg heavier than the MX5, but it was a blast to drive around the streets, until I crashed it.....DOOH, so somewhere around 200 ish level and some whooshy noises and I'll be happy driving to work, the shops, or heading into the country with Jackie for Devonshire tea So, thanks Dose for your info, it sounds like a 0.64 will be fine for what I'm after👍 The only real racing I do nowadays is to the toilet

    • Hey @Butters, did you end up getting this clutch in ? I have just ordered to a uniclutch track to go in my getrag 6 speed that’s in my BNR 32     
    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
