Ohh. I am so frustrated my beautiful car has been rear ended on the weekend..

I was just starting to move after the traffic had slowed down, minding my business and BANG this guy rams into me at about 70 km/h..

I have been recommended to go to a couple of NRMA preferred repairers.

Could anyone in Sydney please let me know if they have used any of these repairers and let me know if they were good or not.

Premier Panel Beating (greenacre)

Cols Body Shop (west ryde)

Adams Smash Repair (kirrawee)

Thanks

yea i don't think you would have walked away from that without any injuries anyway, up the back, side, or front. 70km/h is pretty fast (a fast speed to be bealted from i mean). If there were any cars infront of you, you probably would have been sent ploughing into them if you got hit by a car goin 70km/h

damn, 70km/h, i hope your not too banged up because the car would be a mess after being hit at that speed, bad luck man...

my mum got hit today by a garbage truck not looking where its going (only at very low speeds) and it left enough damage to the side of her car, so i can only begin to imagine sights of cars hit by others going 60km/h plus, i feel for you... good luck with repairs

Hi everyone, thanks for the replies, yes I am ok, except I did have a bit of a sore neck aftward but it feels fine now.

I had just taken off so I was probably doing about 10km/h at the point of impact meaning closing speed was around 60km/h but yes my car is pretty mangled. Spare tyre is sitting up higher so I'm guessing the whole panel underneath is bent and needs replacing. BTW, I didnt hit the car in front.

Anyone used Premier Panelbeating? Looks like I might go there..

If the tyre is sitting up higher might that not indicate possible chassis damage? Happened to my brother's Mazda a few years ago and they wrote the bastard off. I swear it could have been fixed..it was a good little car too.

Man, being hit at 70km/hr .... your chassis is gone buddy. I don't even need to see it to tell you that, has the NRMA dude inspected your car yet? Have you considered that this level of damage might mean it's a write-off?

Vision Smash in Artarmon just did mine and they do NRMA I'm pretty sure.  Car looks great and Harry really looked after me.

Harrys a champ he fix u up for sure. but they arnt an nrma approved repairer, jack hildermans in artarmon are really good as well.

Nah I didnt consider it could be a write off... Damn, you might be right if they have to do chassis work it might write it off.. Hope not I love my car.

If you were hit at 60/70km/h your spare tyre wouldn't just be "sitting up higher"... The impact speed was probably a LOT less than what you think...

Sure felt like 100 ks an hour but I know what you mean. I only say 70km/h because thats the speed limit of the road and it was open, and there was no skid marks and I didnt hear any skidding before hand just a Massive CRUNCH and then I put the brakes on again cause I was going to hit the car in front..

NJ: Get your necked checked out (if you haven't already). I have heard of far too many cases where people have a sore neck, that is then "better" a day or two latter, only to later find they have serious damage to the top of the spine.

Sorry to hear about the car :P

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Lithium · Posted

      Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.

      I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      By Duncan · Posted

      Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years

      To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)

      Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.
