Heh, funniest part about this to me is the fact that I've been meaning to sell it for a couple of months now.

I can only really take this as a really obvious sign to follow through with that plan... Whether it be get it repaired and sell it off that way, or sell to a wreckers.

And you're definitely right - It's just money. The poor car was getting wasted sitting at home, it would only get driven occassionally on weekends, so it wasn't really worth keeping it around - better to give it a better home.

Shame about that now :stupid:

And yeah, I'm a strong believer in karma as well, so I feel no real need to get back at the guy - Only to get money out of him and leave the rest alone if that's even possible.

Appreciate everything you've said, mate.

It really helps. More than you might think :)

You got a strong character mate... you'll be right... come back to me if you ever lose an arm or a leg... otherwise... it ain't no thang... right? hi hi hi hih i.... take it easy bro... worry about it, but don't let it get to you... did you know that 10 people have died on the roads since last Thursday..? So person was eating, breathing and living this time last week, now they're 6 feet underground... that's life for you... it's only money... remember that... chin up bro!

Go to the General discussions thread... you'll find out that I too have not been too lucky!

Regards,

Yo I had recently had my car stolen on Chistmas nite after owning it for two weeks damn .three days later the car was found by the cops and it had major roof damge just like yours the car was a mess with parts missing and wiers all choped up I only had third party insurance so i only got $5ooo back.

My old man is an ex pannel beater and he said to me to take out the inside interior and then kick the roof back out with your foot and see if you can poop the roof back out so i did . It wasnt perfact but It looked much better as it took shape again then I glued the inner roof supports with a special kind of bond and held it up with cut down broom sticks.The result was suprisingly good and all it needed now was a simple bog up job that any pannel beater can do . So if your happy to try that you have nothing to loses as the roof is already wreaked and you might get lucky like me and save over $5000 in repairs.

Hey guys,

Got home this morning after a night out and noticed some bastards from a party across the road decided to use my R33 as a trampoline... Not happy!

Now, as far as I can tell, the rest of the bodywork is okay... But this roof looks like it's just been turned almost completely inside out :P

Any ideas on how much to get this fixed, or if it's repairable?

If so, any ideas on where to get it done not too expensively in the Western Sydney area, and what would be involved?

Thanks guys :(

Dude... your damage is MINIMALLLL

Don't let the posts in here scare you. Believe me, that job would be fixed with $1.5 or say $2k and I'm being generous here. I AM 100% SURE you can get that thing fixed for much cheaper if you shop around, ask some panel beaters.

Your car didn't roll over or anything, only some wankered pushed the panel/roof inside. It's nothing.. A panel beater can fixed that in only one day in a few hours.

Some of the posts in here are really exaggerated, your damage is nothing structural.. Only body damage.

I've really been thinking about that... I'll go get quotes for the actual repairs tomorrow, then have at it with a bit of wood and a rubber mallet, see if I can make it a bit better, then take it back for quotes :closedeyes:

You reckon? If I could get it fixed for that, I'd be laughing... Oh well, as above, I'll take it down to get checked out tomorrow, get it checked out by a few places, get some quotes.

I would be ecstatic if you were right :whistling: hehe.

Hey maaaate :)

Yeah, what can you do, but.

We came up with some good ideas last night :D haha.

:rant::D:thumbsup:

thats just fcukin disgraceful! Imagine if it was a convertible or something....def get the neighbours to pay for the damage. Get the most expensive quote you can get (that should teach them not to have wild homosexual parties in your street). Then sell it to the wreckers or something.

Fkin hate it when people have no respect for other peoples property. My fckin ex's friends decided to put maccas shit on my car and through my car's antenna. Ok, it was not my skyline, and it wasnt damage as such - but anyone who disrespects other peoples property really get my blood boiling. Spoke to my ex in the most calm tone - but if she wasnt going to go and talk to the fckers, i would have had a word next time i saw them. They were a bunch of drunk mofos who thought they can own everything.

:rant::angry::D

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
