Hi guys.

My girlfriend's dad just reversed out of the garage and into my front left wing (white R34 GTT). It is not bad just need a new wing. Can any one point me in the right direction? im guessing wreckers? he is not worried about the cost and told me to get a new panel rather than getting a panel beater try to fix it. what do you think would be the best thing to do? get a brand new panel or get one from a wreckers?

A wreckers if you can find an undamaged one in the white the same condition as yours as it would save the cost & time of paint. And make sure your gf doesn't split up with you any time soon :down:

if your looking for a new GTT R34 wing, PM Guy (SCR34M), his selling his one in white too.

when i had my FC RX7 my best friends mum reversed into my front drivers quarter panel with her BMW on her own driveway, i could barley open the door haha, anyway we went to the police station filed a report on what happened then it was all claimed on her insurance, and because it was done through insurance it went through a quality panel beaters and came out beaut :huh: they even picked up and delivered the car because i worked.

nah were not interested in going through the insurance. He is fine to just pay for it.

I think i must have called almost every wrecker in perth today and only found one with the panel (in silver though, so would deff need to be painted). they said it will cost $400+ a bit of a bloody rip off for a second hand panel if you ask me.

lol how much would a set of gtr ones cost just out of interest?

if you get the gtr guards you might aswell get the whole front changed so it can be painted at the same time. :)

lol nah i dont think so. I dont really want to be spending too much time or money on the car.

I just like the fact that it is a nice looking, easy to drive comfortable and fun car to drive.

I have decided unless i have somethin special like a GTR i am not going to blow any money on it especcialy seeing as i have none lol.

I should be getting that panel delivered to me at work some time today. just need to work out where i am going to take the car to have it painted and fitted.

I now need a new side indicator as well because it has fallen off at some point when i was driving :(

Ok I got the panel.

Not really in the best condition, a few nasty scuff marks on it and a little dent but oh well not a lot I can really do about that.

It is getting painted anyway so they can fix that up. It is better than the one that is on it at the moment.

On the upside it still had the indicator in it so I don’t need to do looking around for another one of those providing it works.

I know people have covered it on here before but could anyone point me in the direction of a good repairer, preferably in Osborne Park Rockingham? I work long days so need somewhere close to home or work.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
