well a bit of shit luck, drove the car to uni for the first time since owning it, and it seems I may have splashed through a puddle of paint on the road... :cry:

the damage isn't bad at all, I've taken pics, and coincidentally the paint is blue aswell so it's not dead obvious...

I've also gotten 4 quotes from 2 smash repairs and 2 detailers, the smash repairs actually got most of it off whilst demonstrating to me what method they'd use 2 remove it so I'm 100% certain it can be removed, but they quoted me between 250 and $400 I guess it just comes down to howmuch they charge for labour as theres no equipment really neeeded except for a rag and some chemicals... the detailers said it can easily be removed but will just require some extra time, the car is in need of a good detail anyway so might get that all done at once...

took some pics if people want to see it for any reason I'll post them up. otherwise.. bump 2 the top.

car getting a full detail whilst having the splashed paint removed on monday costing me $400

also having gearbox + diff oil freshened up, theres nothing wrong with it, just checked the dipstick and it was halfway between L - H so I thought why not.. costing me oils + labour $300 roughly.

received fresh gearbox oil this morning, have to go back tommorrow to do the diff oil, redline shockproof lightweight in the box, heavyweight in the diff, got a guy from brisbane coming to look at the car this week. has already given me a very good cash offer if he is satisfied with his inspection it will be going interstate to a new home :)

sold on SAU pending payment, will be going to an interstate buyer by next week. :action-smiley-069:

will request to close the thread when received payment just incase it falls through. thanks guys for all the interest.

    • It just occurred to me. The way I am asking for increasing bite as I slow down (ie more bite the more time on the brakes), that is actually sounding like less initial bite, and hence the bite would feel to increase.

    • Actually I need to book the V37 for a test day, who is running it? And yeah just let me know if you are down night before or after and we can kill some beers That is my super power
    • Sorry, I must've not been clear enough. On my 350GT, the pads originally on the car created dust to high heaven, and did not squeal at any time. I got new low dust pads, that created absolutely NO visible dust, that squealed when cold.  It wasn't  the initial bite, so much as an increase in braking, without extra brake pedal pressure, during a single brake instance. I had to lift off a little as my speed decreased to zero. Loved it! Now on my 370GT, I have to press a little harder as I approach zero. Not hard, just harder. I am too lazy and live in a city block with no room or tools to do it myself, so I would be paying someone to do the switch I looked at the three offerings by Intima, and one of them had a Features line that caught my eye. "Strong initial bite with continual rising coefficient". The problem is that this is on their "Trackday, Time Attack, Sprint" pads, not their day-to-day pads. Its possible that JAX installed track day pads on my 350GT, I just don't know. But I was pretty clear I did not track the car and drove the streets pretty gently. https://intimabrakes.com.au/home-corporate/intima-rr/ I'll send them an email and also check if other pads purport that behaviour.
