from your photo it just looks like LCA, there designed to bend / fold like that to take the impact. from the pics it looks like minimal damage.

get a few quotes, you might find you can get a new turbo out of it. lolz

Best of luck to you!

Hahaha f*$kin cats and dogs aye! Well the car has been repaired and just needs a wheel alignment, which I am going to hold off doing until I get my teins and rims ;) .

All up cost me $225 for the control arm, $100 bucks for my dads mate (mobile mech) to replace it and $1880 for the panel repair (also had the front of my car where my missus sister reversed into it fixed). So happy with the panel repair done by City Crash Repairs in Townsville, car looks new! I rocked up and the car was polished (and clay barred), wheels cleaned up and the interior vacuumed. Great service highly recommended guys!

hey mate, looks like u just gotta replace lower control arm, piece of cake, i can repair and paint that rear quarter for $450 i would only need the car for 3 days at the most, it would be painted in a booth [no rough backyard job] i do this shit everyday, im in moss st underwood, my number is <removed>

Mate I bought my 33 smacked up it had taken a hit in the exaxt same position but about 3x worse than that. the guard was caved in alot worse aswell. $50 for a 2nd hand control arm you can take the old one out and put the new one in yourself theres all of about 4 bolts. That will get your car rolling again way. There was no chassis or subframe damage to mine and as i said it was far worse than that. The panel damage is minimal would take no time to have it looking brand new again. Don't get sucked in by some panel beater telling you the damage is far worse than it is, because its nothing. It will take 10mins to replace the control arm and go from there

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
