guys,

just out of curiousity.

was in mc'ds with bambam and one dude in a charade just decided to back into my 'line and run off.

ergh.

anyways, to the point, its just a small ding with his white paint on top. i doubt any of my paint has even come off.

its right above the GT badge and under the indicator on the left side.

exactly where the panel above the tire is..slightly above the gt badge. presumably there is a slight ding/dent,

how much does it normally cost to get fixed? haf seen signs arnd my neighbourhood for a "DENT KING" and he fixes dings and dents without something something...nv really paid much atttention to the ad altho i have the number.

or shd i go to a proper panel beater for such a small thing?

i thikn the cops will laff @ me if i tried to make a report...

You should make a police report anyhow, even if it wasn't that major. Otherwise they'll just continue to do it to somebody else.

You can just pull that front panel off and replace it. You might be able to get it done for $600 or something (including new panel). It might not need to go to that extent, but you'd have a perfect panel again.

Or you could just pull it off and try and pop it out from the otherside with your thumb, and put it back on. I've done that before in lesser cars i've had.

someone backed into my line 2 weeks ago... when i was at the atm and then proceded to drive off.....

damage on my car seemed like nothing.. just a few scratches on the front bar, and the reo is bent. $480 to fix.

i'd make a report even if it was tiny.

i went to teh cop shop a 2 days later, and was told off for not reporting it the day it happened. how can i prove i didnt drive into something else after it happened, etc etc.

its illegal to drive off after having an accident, its illegal to not report an accident (appearantly u can get fined for it). its illegal not to give details the list goes on.. he wasnt too impressed by me turning up days later.. lets just say that...

    • Hey @Butters, did you end up getting this clutch in ? I have just ordered to a uniclutch track to go in my getrag 6 speed that’s in my BNR 32     
    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
