Spotted an L plater attempting to reverse paralel park behind my car. She obviously failed. Fortunately they hung around until I got back from where I was to let me know. We swapped numbers.. (btw - she wasn't hot).

Anyone recommend what I should do now? I've never been in this position before.. I'm not 100% on how bad the scrape is and if I can just buff it out or something.

Definitely won't buff out, unless they left white paint on you and didn't remove any of yours. From the photo is looks like it's taken paint OFF your car and down to the primer coat?

...luckily your car is only gloss black, so it won't cost much to get fixed up (relatively speaking). Depending on whether you care too much on quality of repair, perhaps go down a cheap route and find someone who'll do a cashy and have the other party pay for it?

As an example, a work friend's WRX got keyed (about 50cm long, all paint scratched out), and from what I recall it was pearl red. Roughly $600 repair from memory.

Cheers mate.

I just realised that the other car was green.. and it left a white mark on my car, so yeah, its down to the primer.

Anyone suggest any shops, or anyone who can do cash job? .. this is the worst time of the year to get this sorted. lol.

Ring your insurance company and let them tell you what to do next. She's obviously being honest and not trying to get out of it so it should be straight forward?

BTW.. is the angle distorted or are you wearing a really funny looking hat :D

Dude - home all day today and your more than welcome. Im sure you'll like the changes :D

Plus you can check out some bit's n pieces I have laying around :thumbsup: Thought I saw you both in the red s15 yesterday near the HypingDome.

I still owe a big thanks to the SAU crew who showed up at the surprise party in Jerra. Damn my nephew Beau for pulling it together. Blew my mind, Jeez the crew were tight back then.

Was awesome night. An esky FULL of bourbons, replica limited model GTR 32 and the donation$ from passing the hat around came up around $400 to get this rebirth started.

I know I was that pissed I offerd everyone a ride in the GTR when she was rebuilt.

Ps. I know you still have the scar from your party trick - LULZ

Spotted me taking the top off my nuckle pretty much to bone!

Trying to install my Greddy controller at the time cutting a zip tie with a steak knife sounded like a good idea

HAHA. FAIL.

You ok though?

Got my EBC today. Install time soon!

    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work 
    • You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
