Thanks for the help boys, the damage is not that bad at all considering I will be getting a new bodykit anyway straight after christmas. I will be taking it down to Blackburn Motor Body who are world class and are the authorised repairers for Porshe, Lexus & Mercs.

The guy who hit me was around 90 years old and absolutely had no clue. I rang up his insurance and they basically told me that he had four claims in the last two months, what a joke.

What ever you do, don't go to a certain panel beaters on Molan St in Ringwood (there are about 3-4 on Molan St - PM me if you want the name of the one I'm talking about).

I got a $6,000 quote for a repair, then took my car to a trusted (had work done there before) garage and they quoted me $3,500 for it!

There is a good PBeaters... Symes (on Blackburn Rd, cnr Kind St). I bit more expensive (couple of hundred), but they do a GREAT job. Prob, a bit far from Glen Wav. though (~ 30-40 mins)

I'm with inark on this one - Palm Motor Body Works. Don't think u can go wrong there really - even if u do have an issue they'll sort it out quickly and in your favour.

It took me two months to get my car fixed.. they're a nice bunch of blokes and did a good job, but if you end up like me, its not worth it - go somewhere else.

Admittedly it took palm about 2 months to get mine done too - but they did give me a loan car and every second my car spent there was worth it.

Those guys are flat out there and they take pride in their work. Id rather that than some shitty 2 day job that will look cheap in a year or two.

      How much roughly to convert stock r32gtr to single high mount turbo + ecu and tune

      By r32-25t · Posted

      Standard GTRs are boring and there plenty of them, do what ever you want to it and just remember nothing about them is cheap anymore and if you’re picky about how you want things done it gets even worse.    if it’s an n1 or something very limited then maybe care more about it’s heritage

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Alright guys, I've got good odds the motor survives due to a majority of spare parts. Who's taking bets on clutch, who's on transmission, and who's go diff? Happy to also take bets on if it still overheats in traffic or not 😛     Car looks amazing by the way. I've never been a fan of R34 rears, so really, I don't think any body kit etc solves that for myself, but the front end looks amazing!

      As an ex-skyline owner Going off how these things are now "modern classics", I would keep the twins and just "refresh" bits that are required for reliable power and have a car you can take out for a cruise whenever you get the itch As a idiot who cannot leave things alone Going deep into the "rabbit hole" is a easy thing to do, as previously mentioned, once you start it becomes a slippery slope, wirh lots of supporting mods, and possibly rebuilds, and unless you have a bottomless pit of funds, the car can spend most of its life sitting in the garage,  broken, waiting for parts, or building more funds For a classic like a R32 GTR Basically, a reliable OEM+ refresh, that isn't a broken garage queen, is alot better than a car that you build, then break, then fix, then break again And it isn't just the engine you need to worry about, these beasties are getting on in age, and all parts are getting, and have got, expensive, the days of picking up cheap replacement engines and other driveline parts are well and truly over The funds not spent on going a single with quality parts, and with all the other other bits required to make it happen, could be spent on refreshing alot of other parts A wise man once said "If you cannot afford 2 GTR's, you cannot afford 1", I also believe he said this about 20 years ago when you could pick up a clean R32 GTR up for around $20k My advice for a R32 GTR (the one and only true Godzilla in my mind) is to think holistically about the whole car, the body, the power train, the suspension, the brakes, and the driveline SAU is a wealth of knowledge with decades of Skyline experience,  from stock, to OEM+, to modified to varying degrees, to full on or weekend or dedicated racecars, as well as full on money pits that rarely leave their garage Treat the old girl nice and give her what she deserves, you are a lucky man to own such a classic car

      Any feedback on GReddy Turbine Kit T620Z in r33 GTST/RB25DET?

      By R3N3 · Posted

      For that price you could buy the hypergear turbo (big fan as I run one) and the Haltech ECU..

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By R3N3 · Posted

      +1 for the Elite 2500. Get some new knock sensors while you are at it (pretty cheap), look up the TAARKS Nissan knock sensor kit. You may also want to get new coils (R35gtr) while your at it (assuming your on stock ones), as they are a liability. Mine started right up and idled fine on the base map. Also go MAP over MAF, as said above, Haltech make this super simple right out the box. Another fanboy of DBW here, Outsider Garage from your neck of the woods make some nice conversion gear for the R33 (that’s where I got some of my gear from).
