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:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
