OK so sadly one of the work vans at my work backed into the front of my car,

i week or so later they backed into the back!

:woot:

so then my work said they will now pay for the back and not the front? (ARS*HOLES)

so i went and got a quote and my work said the quote was to high... so they reffered me to a place they wanted me to get a quote from

so i did...

i asked them if they will fix the front to and i will pay the extra (550 for the front to be fixed)

anyway i go to pick it up today only to notice that the front bar was a completely different one!!!! OMG

it looks effing terrable!!

I ask the man what was up with it and he said they cant get the one that was orriginally on it anymore and they had to put that one on instead.... i asked why i wasnt called about this??? (i was holding back my tears)

i told them i wasnt happy with it and that it needed to be fixed! or put the old one back on and i will go somwere else! he said the old one was thrown out!

AHHHHHHHH :P

he said i have to pay for the one that is on there and that there was nothing i could do about it!!! im like NO this isnt on this is not fixed!!

he said if i find the M-SPEC the one he cant find he would paint it up and put it on for me...

so i would end up haveing to pay for the 2 front bars! he said thats the only way... THIS IS BULLSH*T

why should i have to pay for a bar i dont want???? WHYYY?????

so anyway i am desperatly triing to hunt down the same front bar... M-Spec

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me

im carless and up 550 for nothen if i dont find one =(

get some pics of the front bar you want

and speak to slidewize imports (their a trader on the forums here)

zac could find it on yahoo japan auctions no problems

but you would have to wait a few weeks for shipping (unless you want to pay expensive EMS)

lastly try ebay or see if UAS.com.au in sydney have any suitable front bars

Name and SHAME!!!...

They should have called you to let you know they couldn't find the bar...

The bar you have in the photo looks like the same one I have... ...Maybe try Oakleigh Mechanical Repairs... ...They have heaps of strange parts for 33s... ...95684887...

:D

thats Effed, they should have called you about not being able to find you you old bar, and they shouldnt have "thrown away" your old one, thats YOUR property weather its screwed or not, some would call that theft

i have a M-spec but im using it. wouldnt have thought they would be hard to find... :P

theres a few places u can try in dandenong, on bridge road.

but what they did to u is such a load of crap....who were they anyway?...

its AMI in Keilor

i had to go to them because my work wouldnt pay for any other quote i got unless i went to them!

i didnt like the look of the place.. and i guess my instincts were right!

schiavello... never work for them.

hey man you will NEVER find this front bar!!! because the bar your refering to is for an R34 GTR...

try asking for a TYPE M front bar and you'll find that most jap wreckers will have afew of them

good luck

oww mybad :)

thanks for that!!

So you haven't paid for the current front bar they fitted?

Maybe the ACCC could help you with fixing there customer service, you got something you didn't ask for so you shouldn't have to pay for it! Although its always hard to get the money back....

Good luck finding the front bar, I've had similar problems with repairers too, they broke the headlight clips and refused to replace them claiming it was "previous accident damage".

Oh, and name and shame is not allowed on SAU.

Don't take this shit. Both your work and panel beater can't just do what they want.

Your work damaged the front and rear of your car. They pay for the front and rear of your car. They don't decide they will just pay for the back and not the front.

A panel beater cant just choose a front bar that's not even what you wanted and then expect you to pay for it (without letting you know they cant get the original front bar).

Write up a nice legal letter and kindly explain you will rim them in the asshole if they don't fix this bullshit of a job. There are options such as Victorian civil and administrative tribunal (VCAT) that you can deal with such disputes which doesn't cost and arm and a leg. Get things in writing also, write a letter to your work outlining what happened (they hit front AND rear of your car). Hopefully they will acknowledge that it happened and then you can use that against them to recoup all costs.

I hate hearing terrible work practices such as this. The other thing that i really hate also are scum (your work) who damage things then refuse to pay/dont pay for the whole lot.

Makes me angry reading your situation as you have done nothing wrong, yet you have been screwed over massively. You cant let them walk over you, its bad enough they hit your pride and joy TWICE, but to not pay all costs and then have an asshole of a panel beater is just rediculous.

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
    • Twas your car many moons ago that gave me the idea!
