Before i start, i dont have my skyline anymore, sold it to my bro. I have an astra SRi now and in the process of doin it up, the other day i came out of coles and some bastard had hit my car, had red paint all over it, its not huge but noticeable. A mate told me i should ring coles and tell them i found trolleys next to my car, the mark is right on trolley height. Dunno if i should or not?

I'd ask them if they had any surveillance/security cameras pointed at your car first..

if they do you might be able to get the rego number of the guy who did the hit and run.. f***ing assholes.. this is why I steer clear of shopping center carparks.

If they DONT.. then you might want to consider trying the trolley idea. :bahaha:

Carparks just arent cool. I'm lucky (or kinda dumb) because i have two cars so i drive my POS to work and to mates places and just for general driving. Drive the skyline around when I am cruising or if a want, sorry need to go fast or more than likely if I have to pick up a chick or something. But Coles won't cover you for anything mate sorry to tell you. This is one of those things thatjust can't really be avoided I guess but bad luck anyway. BTW why did you sell your skyline?

sorry to tell u this but unless u saw someone push a trolley into it and report it then and there, u dont really have a leg to stand on, cos it could have happened anywhere

if they have surveilance then that can be a different story

i would think that a car would have done it as trolleys dont generally leave red marks

i know this cos i work for coles myself

I have had a trolly hit my car (also had a golf ball hit the roof while driving past a driving range but thats another matter) wasn't my Line fortunately but if you don't do anything on the day it happens forget it. In the trolly incident they wouldn't believe me till I dragged the manager outside pointed out the broken trolly bay, the hillslope, the trolly still jamed into the side of my car and the dents/ scratches that looked remarkably like the ones you'd expect if a trolly rolled down a hill and hit the drivers door of a car.

    • I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..
    • They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to more wrt the other.
    • I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.
    • Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.    
    • I put Whiteline pineapples in my old 33, they came in a 6 pack of them, got rid of the axle tramp altogether, cheap, quick and easy install,  they were pretty solid units though...???high durometer???? and NVH was increased a fair bit How hard are the ones you installed?
