Hey guys,

FML Story: Last night I was leaving Crown with a couple of mates and as I'm reversing out of my spot one of my mates in the back asked me a question. I look in the mirror and answer him and clip one of those concrete pole things..Don't know how so much damage could have been caused by going like 2km/h..

Sucks when my first accident ever is something so stupid that could have been avoided by paying more attention...only myself to blame.

Anyways, now I need just a stock R33 front bar, drivers side front panel and a drivers side headlight so if anyone is wrecking an r33 or has these parts for sale please pm me. I'm in the Eastern suburbs.

Also, some good panel beater recommendations would be handy. I have done a search on this and found a lot of recommendations for DT Panels so i'll probably hit them up.

Cheers guys.

At least its out off the way now! No longer a virgin....look on the bright side...its minor and fixable, no one got hurt and the first accident jinx is gone!

hey chris, did the headlight actually come out and smash? or is it just some bracket broken that holds it?, as others said you should be able to find the parts pretty easy and get Vu to spray em and fit em, if need be.

look on the bright side, your front bar was needing a respray anyway.

Yeah just the plastic bracket thing broke. I'm not taking it to Vu, he didn't reply to my email yesterday and I wanted it fixed asap so I took it to a place near my house with a decent name. Should be getting it back on Friday...

And yes, it did need a respray so should look good at the end of it all

    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
