Hey Cara,

That is not good news, do you think you can get it fixed before autosalon or not. >_<

This is why i have an everyday driver as i am scared that this would happen to my baby if i have to park it everywhere.

Hope you can get it fixed. :thumbsup:

the guy thats fixing it for me said it should only take the 2 days to do........still its a real inconvience and having to spend the money which really could else where!! i was told should only cost about 120-150 to fix so thats not too bad i guess.......

still people just dont care these days, its so upsetting

That sucks Cara, too many bastards out there. You getting it fixed at All Make Crash on Jacobsen Crs? If so, I'm sure I'll see it there this week as I'm at trade school again :D

nah im getting it done at L & M Paint and Panel down at the city dismantlers complex. Lleyton been good to me :(

he is also gonna go round the car and do any touch ups that need to done.....so she is gonna look pwretty!!!

ill try and get some pics up tommorow when i drop her off and take the gaffa tape off............it mite not look to bad for some but thats not the point..........its just a full on pain in the arse.........any damage done to any car before they have a show is just not fair!!!!

people that dont leave their details after hitting someones car better watch out for karma to come and kick their arse

and yes i would agree...........how could you miss a bright orange skyline!!!!!

Yeah its not the point thats its only $150 when that money could have been used for something not caused by you!!! sorry to hear. I had someone leave a massive dent in my old car and its a shyt feeling when you get to your car and see that some ass has hit it and left no details.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
