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

    • No need to drill any holes. There's plenty of access to reach through and behind all of that steel to "push" from behind with a pulling action on the slide hammer. There's all sorts of attachments you can screw on the end of them.
    • Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.
    • That's a write off for sure... Part out? 😛 I kid. It looks like the rad support has a minor minor bend in it too where the rep support sits near. Could just be the photos (and me not wearing my glasses right now). Worst case is you can buy a new radiator support, have it swapped over, and leave the car in paint jail for 12 to 18 months while you build the motor to handle twin turbos or a Harrop SC...
    • It seems the definition of "Gregging" something might need to be expanded?
    • This is why I suggested that there is really nothing that can safely be done in the engine bay at this budget level. Just the work to reassure yourself that the engine won't instantly crap itself the moment the boost gets turned up will wear out the piggy bank long before the first turbo gets installed. Spend $10k and still not have any extra performance? My tip is a version of our standard advice from 15 years ago about buying a GTR, which is not to buy one unless you can afford to buy two. The new version is not to modify a GTR unless you have all the funds required to do it all at once, properly, and enough to rebuild it after it blows up.
