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.

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

      WTB: R34 S2 Front grill (this guy is asking mental prices)

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Looking for a S2 front grill for an R34 GT/GTT Doesn’t have to be in excellent condition as I’m looking to paint it. Would preferred if the clips were around.    The $500 this marketplace guy is asking sounds ridiculous in my opinion.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)

      Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T 1999

      By Bman1296 · Posted

      For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
