Hey guys just had a scuff in my s2 33 with a frkn excel cutting the big round about before bunbury.

No headlight damage but left hand fender is pushed in,a little crumpled and the front bar

pushed in a bit under the fender,basically her rear hit 10cm behind light.

There also seems to be a tiny crack on the metal inside under the bonnet.

Should i pay $120-50 for a fender (if i can find a white one) and fit it myself,or get it beaten out and sprayed?

also will i need the inside beaten and resprayed to stop rusting?

How much would all this cost roughly?

I have a bodykit coming on tuesday so front bar is no worries.

Will get pics soon

Its pretty vague whos fault it actually was,and i was just asking what i should do so i can get some quotes and figure out if its worth bothering her about,shes only had her license 3 weeks and has 3rd party..

im just too much of a nice guy :cool:

lol! if she only got 3rd party that is good news for you as they will fix your car.

if it was her fault and you are going to use insurance then best way is to contact your insurance explain you were in an accident it was the other person fault and they will tell you what to do.

or else just go to different spraypainters/panelbeaters and ask for a quote then give the girl and call and see what you can work out.

depending on the damage to the fender it might just be easier/cheaper to buy a second hand one and get it respray *but it also depends on the condition of the 2nd hand fender*

bonnet best to get it sorted because as you mention if the paint has been crack off and its bare metal it will start to rust. but if its just a crack and on the underside might be easier to bog it up and just spray it black as you wont see it

price its hard to say without pics but maybe anywhere from $250 to $600 ish (ruff est)

touchup the bonnet yourself and get vented front gaurds

anytime something breaks or gets broke upgrade to sumit better

for the other driver issue get two qoutes take to them and ask to pay half totally reasonable and you dont feel like a dick when you spend that money on mods

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By cabramatta · Posted

      Might piggy back off this thread since there's been a good discussion about PWM.   I purchased a Walbro 460 F90000267 and have been looking into PWM to understand it. It was purchased more of a future proof as my original OEM fuel pump died (r33 below 200kw) and figured I'd just upgrade it to this. That's when it hit me that a pump this big can cause more dramas with such high amperage draw and heating of the fuel pump being on 100% all the time in such a mild setup.   I have a Nexus R3 and slowly collecting power mods but I was looking into the PWM feature on the NSP software:   Then looking at the graph from the fuel pump:     Am I safe to assume reducing duty cycle to 50% for example would make the pump run like a 230/lph ? Where does the PWM come in all of this ?   I've gone down the rabbit hole of PWM fuel pumps and it seems there are many differing opinions on how to go about it 😅

      That specific one would be an exchange part, meaning I'd have to send mine to them. Plus it looks like a non AWD sump, which won't work for me. There is one or two shops in my country that I can ask to do a sump extension job and it'd most likely end up being cheaper than sending mine to AUS or NZ and getting one back, and quicker too.

      Rear turbo is leaky, most likely at the oil drain. From what I could see with my boroscope it seemed to have seeped out at the very top of that return hose. Is it possible that the oil climbs up that hose to then leak out? Yup, coolant leak on the hot side of the engine, only noticed after seeing clear rusty residue in the block right from the turbo oil feed downwards to the pan, and red droplets hanging from the pan. No clear sign yet from where it comes, and most of the lines there are hardlines right? Last year, seeing those red drops, I thought it was power steering, will be glad if that is not leaky at least. Another leaking hose I found by chance is the lower of the two heater core hoses coming from the firewall to the back of the head. That one is not too bad to get to if I have to replace.

      I think for response I'm already kind of out there no? he -5s are not the best pick for that as the Internet tells me. Maybe I should switch to -7s while I still can? Though that almost definitely warrants an engine pull along with the other issues I have.
