Does anyone have the number for Damage Control?

I gave Lombardi a call they said they dont do many skylines they work mainly on more prestigious cars.

And they don't for a very good reason, they're bloody expensive. Let them know you're on insurance, and they'll be happy to do it for you. But as highlighted, don't expect anything quick.

well i told my insurance company that i want a quote from Cowley but when the tow driver came and took it away today he said to me "it looks like a write-off" so I might end up gettin a cheque for 30K and go buy another car :P

so i've done a bit of lookin around at cars for sale but can't find anything decent the only places I really know about are Autoworx, Down Under Auto's and DC Imports... does anyone know of any other good places to get Skylines from? also, does anyone know what would happen if it was a write-off? do they just gimme a cheque and I can use the money however I like or what?

they just give you a cheque

you cant go past autoworx for quality cars always the best possible

im suprised its a write off though from the pics , is their much chassie bending? i had a similar accident in a s15 a few years ago but it was smack in the middle of the front so all it bent was the support frame thing infront of the radiator

was still 8k damage though so it does add up quickly

yeah i dont think the towie realised the car is worth 30K... he said it looks like 10-15K worth of damage and I agree. There was some structural damage like the radiator was fully bent in and leaking, the airfilter was all mangled but the engine still looked alright. I would say they would probably repair it rather than give me a cheque becoz i doubt there is more than 15K worth of damage. I would really hate to have to buy a new one becoz it would be very hard to find one almost identical... that blue paint job is hard to come across.

as above lambari plus the chick workin there is hot!

best of luck with ur car!

:miner::laugh:

If it is still the same young chick from about 6 years ago... blonde??? Thats Amanda Lombardi... her family owns the place. Great girl... had a few good chats with her while driving her back and forth from the workshop... did a bit of work on her car and last time I checked, a not so good looking green old mazda astina isn't a "prestigious" car!

Hey Diamondjo..that does take me back :(

"... i doubt there is more than 15K worth of damage...."

I doubt if its more than $5K.

Front bar, hood, light, Radiator, filter, bent but reapirable support panel, paint . Wheels seem to be pointed in the right direction so...get a quote and see. It all depends on whats underneath I suppose.

I'm sure the inspector will be suprised when he goes to look at a skyline with 20kph carpark damage & sees your car, that's all I will say. :)

Damage control or Lombardi as mentioned...

subtle hint

:spank: *cries* i wanted to buy your car i test drove it and rac checked it and you've wrote it off by driving it into a pillar.. arughhhhhhhhhh :ninja:

i feel sorry for ya, i hope you sort it out and get a new one..

And just to let you know to get in line with the rest of us looking for decent r34's in perth that come in manual 2doors, cause the last one I found was the one you bought.

only other r34 2door is on sale for 34k and its pearl white with black bonnet...with highish kms

Heh yeah i got it from Down Under Auto about 2 or 3 months ago :(

Well the good news is they are repairing it and its not a write-off :)

The Job ended up going to a place called Adaptable Smash Repairs in Lansdale... Cowley was taking way too long to get a quote done. This adaptable place said they were going to replace the whole front end :(

p.s. Aftamath... first in first served :) nah but your right it is hard to find a nice one these days

Had an accident last night in my skyline where i hit a pillar in a carpark (i know im an idiot) so I called up my insurance company (Just Cars) and they will take it to a smash repairers of my choice to get quoted but I don't know of any places that will do a good job of an import so does anyone know of some good places in Perth that do smash repairs on skylines?

Thanks.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
