So at work tonight this guy decides to move his car after getting his petrol (before paying) and he leaves his door open as he does it.

So he starts to move it over to the air compressor and his door is wide open and he is aiming straight for my car and CRACK he hits my car and his door slams closed.

I have no idea how the hell he didn't see a silver skyline there and the fact that he hit it.

I go out cos i'm more than pissed at the moment and he tells me he didn't see it and that he can't see any damage. Doesn't look like anything except for some clear coat gone but it's the principle of it.

And to cap it off he doesn't even say sorry. I mean ffs you hit someones car the LEAST you can do is say sorry.

So i took down his rego and he's a local. So when i look tomorrow if the clear coat has been damaged do you think i should tell him he's gonna have to pay for a cut and polish for my car?

This is the first time anything like this has happened to me and now i know what it's like to see someone hit your pride and joy, it doesn't make you feel well in the stomach.

I would have made sure to get all his contact details then and there and definately would have been more hard on him. What he did was both careless and stupid, I beleive he should have to pay somehow, especially if there is damage to your car

make him pay, and if he refuses take him to court. and make him pay the legal fees (if any)

also go to the servo and ask for the video tape. or at least a copy and tell them why.

if you dont its gonna cost you money to fix it. (that can be your main point)

I actually work at the servo so it'll be easy to get the tape.

Looks as though it'll just need a cut and polish, the only thing that pisses me off now is that then kent didn't say sorry, he barely said anything about it.

guy probably has no clue and doesnt give a stuff about anyone elses property. At least theres no damage and you had footage anyway, unfortunatley theres not alot you can do :wub:

Unless you spike his fuel/food/whatever when he comes back next time since hes a local :P

    • R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to?  I'm not really sure what you're saying. 
    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
