If people are getting it done for $400 that explains why so imports I assessed are so poorly repaired with crap blend marks and have 3 different colours on the car from poor colour matching J

You can back mask it if you were not a fussy owner or doing it privately but can cause problems down the track with paint work. With insurance they would be allowed to paint the qtr and full sill panel inc apertures. Here’s a quick quote that insurance would allow. Remove and Replace: jack and support vehicle $30 (OHS safety) lhf mud flap and liner $18 lhr mud flap and liner $18 remove sliding doors $45 d/a sliding door runners $30 fineline tape qtr glass $30 tail light d/a $8 remove rear bar $35 Repair: lhs sill panel $240 Paint: lh sill panel $100 blend lhr qtr $100 door aperture lower blend $50 inner wheel arch inner panel blend $40 proofcoat, cav wax, enviro levy $15 booth allowance $80 mix and match solid $20 total : $859.00 gst: $85.90 grand total: $944.90

Without seeing the van or copy of the quote you would not have any access to get behind the dent looking at the images so would need to use and easy beat machine to pull it out. Pending on the make and model of the van if it has structural foam in behind the sill panel you would need to buy another sill panel and short cut it to manufactures specifications. Then paint a rear qtr of a van, blend a pillar or two, paint the sill panel and side door aperture inc inner wheel arch. At the end of the day $880 is very cheap if it’s being repaired correctly as per above. Sounds like they are looking after you...

Could have a wet track at times going of the forecast, also the wind speed is high... Should make for some good driving to watch http://www.weatherzone.com.au/nsw/sydney/eastern-creek

Maintenance is not that bad in cost if you do it yourself, I prefer a car out of warranty use aftermarket brake parts different diff and trans fluids, can buy a transmission out of the UK for under 10K if it craps itself. The people buying the cars out of warranty will be GTR lovers that are handy on the tools and use them on the track and could not afford a new one like me

Has anyone here ever had their claim denied or insurance cancelled due to mods being on a car?

Was at Marulan on the weekend with NSW road racing club, traction control off is alot of fun....

Why should it be closed no one has posted anything but you in the last 3 days!!!! The person is trying to do the right thing and payback people that he ripped off, as its states if you have been ripped of by BSA send him a PM as per his post. Let the man clear his name he owned up for doing the wrong thing and wants to fix it...

In 2010 when I run my R32 GTR in Clubsprint I thought it was funny how they were turning cars away from scrutineering for not having a secondary bonnet restraint, I didn’t have an issues as I had one fitted from running CAMS sprints during the year but they didn’t seem to care if a GT wing or splitters was held on with self tappers that was ok… Hopefully the scrutineers will pay more attention to how aero is fitted, what happened last weekend with the wing coming of in front of Jason Write is extremely worrying, all you need is that wing to hit a windscreen at 200kph and find the drivers face and we have very different outcome. The CAMS supersprint series will be really cracking down on this stuff hopefully WTA will do the same, all we need is a tragic incident to make motorsport and time attack look bad. If you show up to run and deemed to have an unsafe car you should not be allowed to run, I believe my life and other competitors – spectators life’s are more important than the event being a good show.

The point I was trying to make was would be nice to have a difference between open and pro regarding aero, not some super strict rules just put some sort of limit on size of aero. I guess in August we will see how many cars show up to run in open with aero designed by an aero specialist that clearly I believe could be in pro.

Thats why you use a set of rules like the CAMS 3D Sports Sedan Coachwork and Aerodynamic section 3. For the guys that don't know them have a read, yes some of the things can be removed from that list to suit time attack but very good base to start with... http://www.camsmanual.com.au/pdf/02_race/d.%203rd%20Category/RA22_Group_3D_2012-1.pdf

This car was running in clubsprint back in 2010 when i was running my R32 GTR, some how got away with the it as it was made from alloy not carbon?

It would be nice if there was some ruling on aero for Open maybe keep it to CAMS sports sedan specs or put a 200mm limit on wings, canards and splitters - diffusers like the CAMS Supersprint series have done and leave Pro to the wild looking aero cars. There my thoughts on the matter....

This is from a google surch

I do believe a 39 is there in clubsprint if the track is good and temperatures are right, it is amazing what time attack has done in the last few years to development in supersprint based cars that included open cars. I really need to get my S15 finished but keep devolving new parts to keep up with the competition.

There was an EVO doing 1:40 on Saturday at the Creek at a CAMS Supersprint round that will be clubsprint class for time attack and had correct tyres on.

Very impressive time set yesterday at Wakefield looking at natsoft results will be something to watch if it runs WTA Martin Notaras EVOIX 0:59.1920

My mate has a R34 GT-R V-Spec II Nur R1 (Factory fitted and built from Nismo Omori Factory tags on motor and body) this car is actually just quicker than a stock 2009 R35 if you don’t do a standing start. I have driven this R34 several times and it makes you smile every time due to the raw power of the R1 The R35 is smother more practical car for everyday use, but the R34 GT-R “R1” would hold its value a lot more over years to come and just as much fun to drive. If you twisted my mates arm he would sell the car too if you are intrested Jason, Picture below

Just In case anyone here may be interested I want to sell this could be a good tarmac rally car… Mitsubishi Ralliart CJ Lancer , October 2011,MY12 Update, 5,650km, All Wheel Drive 2L MIVEC turbo engine , TC-SST 6 speed paddle shift (running gear same as EVO X) Not modified all stock, Full leather interior, Solid white in color, Suit race - rally or time attack cannot be road registered.

Price: $16,000ono Location: Mittagong NSW Contact: Brian on Mob: 0421 051 166

Have a look at this crash test from the Great Wall then the Ford Ranger, the Ford has a better cabin design and crumble zone sections and the cabin dose not deform along the cant rail section, doors don’t overlap after the accident ect. If you have any care on safety for your family you would not buy a Great Wall they are 10 years behind safety. Great Wall Crash Test Ford Ranger Crash Test

Not sure of the rules but the NSX started in 1991 so can they bring them in if they are over 15years old?

Spoke to the business manager for Shannons while at work today, Seems all good and is going to be a big event with great cars. I have sent of my entry now... So who else is going?

Email sent for entry form, In-laws live down the road

Not much interest on eBay for the springs, so have them sitting in my shed if anyone would like to buy them. Happy to swap for other R35 parts if anyone is keen....
