wouldnt there be paint marks on your car - eg, paint from the other car? You could put a complaint to the cops.

This happened at monash uni a few years back - some car hit a parked silvia (which was owned by someone that my friends knew) - and it left some mark on one of the mags - he went n complained to the cops, they took details, and last i heard, they tracked down the car that hit his or something.....maybe worth a try?

at the end of the day, quit smoking.

please dont troll...

People have no respect for your car, everytime im in a car park i watch other people just open their doors straight onto other cars (not near as bad as your case). I cant believe they could have hit your car that bad, they must be retarded... bad luck mate.

i dont know if u would want to invent in this but ive when i got my sound ststem installed i hooked up 2 cameras on the inside of my car (one point to the front and one to the rear of my car) they switch on and record when the car is off.

im sure if anyone backed into u, u would get their rego this way.

also i have to fix the angle on mine lol

yeah its f**ked. they didnt even leave a note.....and i was only in there for 5 minutes to buy a pack of ciggys

Bad luck...Quit smoking... not only does it f*ck with your health but also just ended up draining your wallet. :)

I had some ass open a door into my car before, left a small scratch with red paint in there... can hardly even notice it now but still. I try and park away as further as possible from most cars. Or parking on the road usually is the best way to avoid most parking bingles.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
