Damn that sucks dude. Is she at least going to foot the bill for repairs? I wouldn't necessarily believe her just because she says her insurance has run out in the last few days. She could just be trying to get out of paying her premuim. I'd get your insurance company to give her a call regarding the accident.

but realistically, i'd hazard a guess that he "might" turn your car away. he usually only does insurance work/prestige/euro work. your average kitted beast is not where he pitches himself in the marketplace so don't be offended if he says no....

As Amaru said, it all depends on how busy he is with the exotics. I know a stock (externally) S15 that was repaired there and my old Nissan Bluebird was fixed up by Tony.

So it doesn't hurt to find out.

well i went in to me mate at QBN..

he thinks the front bar might not be able to be fixed...

But he is gonna send it off to the "experts" but recons it gonna cost to get it patched up.. if it can even be done.

All else is good.

Thing is she pays for all parts labor for the front half of the car..

If i want the rest sprayed ill have to pay the difference..

I wanted the repray anyways.. so not too fussed, even know its money i didnt want to spend now.

Few more questions.. CF bonnet? where can i get one for for a good price? im goin to change the bonnet to CF as mine is unrepairable, and ill pay the difference.. Same might have to go for the front bar.. might need to source something else.

try just jap i think for carbon fibre... are 700ish BUT i think u also have to get some sort of adapter because they are GTR bonnets???

Click here

thats the page with bonnets and some bars on there...maybe get a fibreglass gtr bar, the CF bonnet and do some mod's to the bar to make it vertex style....cut off the bottom and then put the bottom lip from yours on.....it coudl maybe work hahah would look good i rekon!

click here

also the unique auto sports page with R32 stuff on it, but the bonnets are more expensive and the bars aren't to great cept the GTR ones! to get to that page go to product list then skyline GTST

hope this all helps mate

    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.
    • Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.
    • Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..
    • You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.
    • Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".
