If the cops dont play ball i'm sure there will be some sympathetic SAU members who live nearby who will be more than willing to come for a visit to their apartment....

If not go talk to the parents in person. Take some friends who weigh 150kg's. :D

keying cars honest to god has to be one of the lowest things you could do you hear people bitch  (understandably) about their gt-r badge getting stolen which costs like $40 maybe a bit more  

FYI a brand new R33 GTR badge costs $90 from Nissan. The R32 badge costs $130!

Hahahah i have to laugh, 4 days after all this happens i drop my car off to mechanics for a service and leave it the day. Pick it up in the arvo and find a big scratch on lower back right hand corner, with yellow paint all over it. looks like someone has backed over a small post with it, hasn't dented the bumper though.

I know for a fact it wasn't there before i dropped it off cause i was showing people the kids handiwork just before, however mech denies it and says it musta been there when it was dropped off. This week just getting worse.

Apparently the scratch work can't be repaired cause its too deep so my entire car needs to be resprayed.....so over it all

There's no way I would be letting that slide. And that's a fact.

I've learnt many evil things from movies and Quintin Tarentino is one of the best...

"get some homies around around and pull these little f##kers apart with pliers and a blow torch"

I find that I am seriously paranoid about taking my car anywhere where it could have some jelous wanker damage it. I usually drive my VL bombadore when I have to park in public or outside overnight, that way if it gets scratched I'd be stoked - A new paint job would be worth way more than the car, it would get written off and I'd get the insurance. LOL.

Like has been already said, it would almost be worth it if you could catch them and make them "pay".

Has anyone seen that movie "Seven".

  • 2 weeks later...

Okies, got my quote of $5500 to respray the car the same colour (without the front bumper or rear bumper a grand extra for both them)

2 questions. Does anyone know what sort of price i would be looking at to get the car repsrayed an the colour changed?? And also does anyone know a good/cheap body shop in sydney metro to get it done (note: i don't want it cheap and nasty, just some people who can do a good job and aren';t rip offs).

Still haven't heard whats happening with the kids, or if i'm gonna get it paid for. The mechanic i haven't talked to yet either.

Think i'll wait till the new year/

cheers boyz. If i can get a new colour for about the same price or just a little more than i'll be definitely doing that...maybe a nice blue :D

I thought that seemed a little bit high. I'll talk to fibremotive and maybe another few decent paint shops.

Also i'm gonna definitely move asap before i get it resprayed as i don't want to tempt them to do it again.

Have a great chrissy and new year everyone, thanks for the help and listening to me whinge :kick:

cheers

    • Hey @Butters, did you end up getting this clutch in ? I have just ordered to a uniclutch track to go in my getrag 6 speed that’s in my BNR 32     
    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
