Can someone recommend a good smash repairer in Sydney who's good with Skylines? The more expensive the better. I got rear-ended last night :) My main concern after the physical damage is that the paint on the repair is not going to match, does anyone know of a smash repairer somewhere that will be able to convince the insurance companies that I need a full respray in order to match the paint? I'm guessing that this will be a bit easier to obtain than if I were at fault, because as my insurance broker said, I'm the innocent victiim here it's up to me to be satisfied with the job. And I want a full respray dammit! :)

If a full respray is achievable at all it will be under these circumstances. I'm definitely not at fault, I had been stationary for a good 5-10 seconds at a set of lights before the stupid ute ran up my arse, and he's with a different insurance company so I'm not likely to be screwed around with by my own.

Any helpful advice is welcomed! Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info :D I'll give them a call next week unless I can find someone a bit closer who can get me the respray. I *think* I might have found a place that will get me the respray but they need to get the assessor in first.

    • Please do not connect it to your manifold. If you do, as GTS suggested please record the lot in 4K with good mics attached.   On the factory Skyline, there's a upside down pipe that allows it to breathe, looks like this   
    • For me I'd need some serious justification for why it has blown out.  Have you questioned him on it?  To be honest if you didn't question him right from the get-go on the first invoice that was already way over the initial quote and then you've (presumably) then paid another $1375 on top of the first invoice, then you're pushing shit uphill to get a favourable result now... It was years ago I last got an engineer out but it was around $450-$550 per visit.  That was just to inspect each progress point he gave me for the project.  Is he just doing progress inspections or is he providing engineering diagrams, technical assistance, etc??  If he's not, he's a filthy rip off merchant.  If the $3100 is the final sign off then you need to cop it on the chin, pay it and move on.  If it's not, piss him off and get a new one.  Not many Jeeps I'd value at $10K full stop let alone just engineering fees on a written off, half actual value WOVR Jeep....
    • Oh, yes. If you connected it to the manifold your first drive would be very eventful. Very shit. Very interesting. Perhaps take a video if you feel the need to see. Terminating the breather at the top of the bellhousing is normal/stock. Some gearbox lubes (hello Redline Shockproof) like to foam up a bit and require the breather to be extended up higher, so you don't get spots of smurf jizz staining the floor under your car. Mine is thus right up behind the head. Make sure you fit a u-bend at the top so it points back downward so that dirt and schmutz has a harder time getting into it.
    • Cheers for the replies. So i don't connect it to the manifold I just run the hose high up on the firewall?
    • It doesn't really answer your question...but is the head unit full android or just android auto, are you happy with how quickly it boots and responds, and do you have a link?  If we can identify good Android alternatives it will really help people stuck with Japanese screens. Did it have a separate reverse camera input so you would replace the factory one, or are you just going without now...that would be a pretty big steps back. And finally, do you have a picture of the "wire" that you can't plug in? Most likely it is some sort of aerial that is not too important eg japanese traffic or am radio or something if you haven't noticed a functionality issue
