Basically, was going to my car today when I noticed that this happened to my side panel. Any of the Curtin skyliners see anything? I was in P9B (close to education building 501). It appears to have been done with a brick.

I mean, it serves me right for parking a nice car in a carpark... But surely it's not too nice to invoke jealousy? That or I've pissed off someone that I didn't know about. I'm certainly taking the P plates down now.

I was just in the process of buying a 'rolla daily too! Grr.

Anyway, where are the good panel beaters NoR?

This is why I don't bring the GTR to uni and also why I don't drive with P plates up...

Pretty much. I'm actually surprised it could happen to me, I thought I was cautious enough (was my downfall in this case - I park next to kerbs to avoid door slamming - which also makes it easier to damage it intentionally I suppose). Parking office weren't very helpful either (no cameras apparently, and if there were cameras I couldn't see any footage)...

There goes my faith in humanity :blink:.

Damn... BL :blink:

Should park at P26C with me... Get there early enough and there is 4 parallel parking spots...

Panelshops - Advantage Panel and Paint in Osb Park did my previous GTR when I scraped it (doh). Cheap (cashy) and quick.

Oh I'd give it a shot if I wasn't so lazy - my classes are mostly on the other side of the map!

I usually park in a closer, more popular (= more witnesses?) visible spot, but I woke up too late this morning... Expensive sleep in :blink:

I'll call into Advantage tomorrow/wednesday, they do a good job? Might fix my speedbump related scratches while I'm at it :P. Haha.

that's f**king bullshit. I often see your GTR at uni.

I must also add parked well compared to some of the fly in students.

Lol yep, I do try and park properly to avoid assorted damage. Fat lot of good it did me :P

Haha. They did a good job.

Good stuff, thanks dude.

Some shocking drivers at curtin...

That couldnt have been someone slamming a door into your sidepanel could it?

Also, is the guy that drives the 34 GTR on Green Ps on this forum?

His always near me in the carpark near the basketball courts and the child care place... Not a bad car for a p plater :3some:

So... Got back to the car this arvo - wipers were up. Was that a joke or does someone not like me! :)

I'm paranoid now lol.

Nar... I was parked next to a kerb.

Is that a white 34 GTR? I've seen one parked nearby uni before. Didn't see Ps though.

Lol nar, that was me :D

I see a silver 34R every now and then.

Do you ever leave uni? I got there at 8:30 and your GTR was already there and I left at 3 and still there... =/

Lol, thought it might've been :D.

I left this afternoon at like 5pm and that was early :D Got there at 7:30am this morning especially to steal your spot.

I hate doing work at home (my house is almost smaller than my garage, which sucks), so sometimes I go early to get a good park and do some work...

Except tuesday, that's just crappy 8-6 :) .

*edit* Woops, those times did seem weird!

Sucks man! Some people are the true asswipes of society. Just think of them as the bottom feeders. They will end up with teh shit jobs, ugly wives, deadbeat (like father like son) kids and no future.

That's what I like to think of when my car gets broken into or damaged by dickheads. (I've been broken into 4 times and had a brick hurled through a window - so I know what I'm talking about.) lol you think your skyline gets some bad attention! haha try owning my car! lol

Fark 5am..... You coming from Albany lol?

Fair enough. I have a 10am start tomorrow so that carpark will probably be full by the time I get there...

Thursday + Friday off, 4 day weekends ftw.

Dent looks like it "could" be popped out... All the best man.

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
