Its hard to quote a respray job without acctually seeing the damage because the key may have left an indent in the metal and needs more work to fix. If its just a light-ish scratch on th hood your looking at $400 for a good colour matched respray... dunno about the rest

People who do these sort of things shit me.

PM me if you want to know how it can be fixed for nothing.

You might even be able to make abit on the side.

Nothing illegal....ffs....I mean you didn't scratch it or pay some one to do it.(Hoping not).

No-one is injured,you still have your car.

Cheers.

sorry to hear that man... these f*krs should be whipped in public like those kids in singapore like 10 years ago... i hate f*krs like that.. anyways... there are mobile paint repairers who specialise in chips and scratches and are usually cheaper then a respray and usualy quality work... i think some of them give free quotes so might be worth checking out... check in yellow pages and maybe google it as well... good luck...

Hearing shit like this drives me nuts. is the current paint faided at all? cos resprays can be a **** if thats the case. id recommend u drop ur insurance policy, its hardly worth it with a 1k excess LOl! unless your doing alot of drifting or somehting.. best bet wud be to just take it to a respray joint and get it quoted.

The paintless dent repair guys can work wonders - even on keyed paint work. Have a look at their website, and give them a call - they'll come out and give you a free quote, and tell you if its beyond their scope. But using touch up paint, and cutting and polishing, key marks can be repaired without a respray.

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
