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...

These paintless dent removal guys are AWESOME.

I used DELETE-A-DENT.

When i first got my R33 it had pin dents and few creases in it.. this guy came out, charged me $80 and took all of them out.. didnt event know they were ever there... well worth it.

They use magnets and rollers I believe.. its amazing....

If you have not paint removed and its not that bad .... GO FOR IT.

You'll be amazed what these guys can do.

Daniel

same thing happened with me :D but it was a head-on ...... just cosmetic damage i got his number plate but never ended up reporting it ...... i had no witnesses ....not time...... and the thought of it just made me sick so im currently getting it fixed for free and a panel beater friend of my dads :D if it wasnt getting fixed for free yeah i probably wouldve chased it up with the cops.

some ppl just haf no respect/manners.

me and bam happened to bump into the car today albeit a different driver...he gave us a phone number for the owner and we lost it but nevethteless, we have his plates.

damage was fixed for free by CK LEE smash repairs in welshpool.. too small i guess...

looks aiite now. just have to get it polished and waxed so the small scratches or his paint comes off my car

:)

I think its still a crime to leave the sceme of an accident regardless of the amount of damage. I could be wrong but its prolly worth calling the cops. At most they will give him a fine, but he prolly deserves it.:uh-huh:

Stopped at the lights one day and some chick just tagged my rear bumper and then took off. But F@$K that!!!! I booted it after the car and chased it down, sure slight road rage maybe but hey i didn't know how much damage was done. Lucky only a slight ding and scratch.

yea thats what i did...booted it and went after the pr*ck.

knowing that we were in skylines, the ***r drove over the divider knowing that we were too low to do it and we'd scrape something.

oh well...alls done is done

i have his plates and i have half a mind to report him to the cops and get his ass in shit for hit n run.

hehe

such a good citizen i am...

:(

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
