damn....i was just in an accident. Basically the whole front of my car was pushed in as it was wet and i went up the back of the car in front.

im probably gonna need a new front bar and lights and such. but its not that bad. the bonnet needs to be repaired.

can anyone tell me of any good repair places around the eastern suburbs area? im in doncaster/templestowe.

any info would be greatly appreciated

Sorry to hear that man......good luck with the repair. I grew up in Doncaster but never needed my car fixed. However my parents weren't so lucky......unfortunately I can't remember the name of the place but they can be found behind the old pizza hut/pancake parlour on donnie rd (theres a little side street next 2 the old pizza hut, take that then turn 1st right....u can't miss it on ur right hand side)

they did a top job....parents owned the car a further 4 yrs and never had a prob.

hey chef, think i saw you on springvale road today?

around 1030, would that be right?

i was like... shit, thre goes my car....

but was stuck at a light and tried to hoon up and follow, but gone.

btw, where is JR auto in box hill? me and a mate were looking for some rice the other day, and we couldn't find it...

naw, hypertech is a performance shop for serious stuff..

If you just want a new front bar, try jetspeed..or IQ Auto (see Front Bars thread).. For the other bits you'll need to find wreckers..

skyline33 (PM) generally has lots of bits and pieces.

i am sorry to hear/see this mate.....i was hit from behind last year(although not too bad) and i know how much it hurts...

i just wanted to say stay away from a Clayton panel beaters whom i dont wanna name here but will do in pm if you need...bastards drove me crazy when i trusted my car to them....

anyway glad you are ok and that the damage is not too bad...

good luck with the repairs.

i dont plan on going to a clayton panel beater. i want something locally to me. the car is currently undrivable. it starts up fine and all that, but some of the fans punctured the radiator i think and whenever i drive, steam comes out. it was doing that as i drove it home. now im gonna have to get it towed to the repair place. more $ for me to pay.

    • Yeah - My key still does the chime thing. I followed the procedure but it didn't activate on the (identical) third set of keyfob that I had. I vaguely remember the alarm saying you can only pair two keys with it. Now that I've dug it up, it appears that you very much can pair keyfobs to the alarm system. (which are the fobs I use to unlock the car). I have successfully diverted the thread and can probably not use the OEM keyfob ever again unless I use the aftermarket alarm and attempt to pair the OEM keyfob to it. Which might just work, or not :D. I definitely used the nissan method and not the aftermarket alarm method.
    • What makes it worse is that Nissan made keys in the same style, for example R34 and Stagea, but they work at different frequencies or something like that. So they look the same but the remotes are not interchangeable. I learned that from some guy selling aftermarket blank keys.
    • Does your door chime work when you have the key in the lock and open the door? I've had that disabled because it's f**king annoying and it is one thing that messes with the pairing. Because now the car doesn't detect key in ignition anymore and the slide-key-in-and-out sequence does not trigger the pairing mode anymore. The service manual has a section on the various bits involved in doing the syncing. I presume it'll be similar between Stagea and R34.
    • Agree, but meh, I think is is based more on LOLS than actually apples to apples, like, who would have thunk a turbo 4 cylinder would not beat a NA 4 cylinder  I think with just basic N/A mods, like a exhaust and tune, it would be equal to the Mini in its current form, maybe I know my current 2.5 would "chop the mini" as the midrange now has a night and day difference in power delivery compared to the tuned 2.0, by around 20kwatw and 30nm from around 2k rpm "ish"....... I'm kinda hoping that they do a N/A build, either with the MZR 2.0 or with whatever they decide to use If I recall correctly they did talk about K swapping one a while ago
    • Can't see that being a thing.
