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.

    • 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.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
