Hello,

A work ute took on my R34 when they changed lanes without looking (Nice to know I pay high insurance and I am the one that knows the basics of lane changing)

I am in a pickle as I can not find the parts needed to fix my only means of transport. The panel beaters cant seem to locate the following either, can you help?

Right side quarter panel

Right side indicator (small one)

Right side mirror

I have called A1 wrecking & cresta and they dont have any parts available.

Anyone know another place in Brisbane or goldcoast??

If is an insurance job... Kick your insurance company in the arse!!!!! The insurance companies like to hold on to their cash for as long as they can and therefore quite often give people the run around. So too do a lot of repairers(like to hold on to their cash). Parts can always be found! It is most probable that the insurer and the repairer just dont have adequate sources (they dont go all that far out of their way). When my car was sick i sourced all the parts that the insurance company said that they couldnt find and found them quite easily!

(some second hand import yards get a lot of half cuts)

Thanks

I am trying locate these parts as I have dealt with this BS before (non import) I already have the insurance companies customer service ombudsman contact details as a 3-4+ week wait for panel damage is not acceptable.

All I want is to find the parts - tee up the panel beaters with the wreckers.

if its covered under insurance get them to fly new parts in from japan! Thats what happened to me when my U13 Atessa got rearended. All brand new panels flown in from Japan, took a bit longer but worth the wait. You should not need to locate parts for them so they can do it cheaper.

Man, I opened this thread thinking it was another my Skyline beat your Commowhore reading...

Sorry to hear, hope it all works out for you. The insurance company should be able to locate all the parts for you... I'd hope so anyway for the amounts some of our premiums are :rofl:

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
