i went out drinkin last night and left my car at my friends place. in the morning my friend sent a message tellin me he is on his way to my place to drop off my car, then i got a call from him 5 min later tellin me he crashed it.

i drove down there to look at the damage and the front corner was badly damaged. the light was fked, the bonnet was fine and the front quarter was slightly dented. so the main thing i need is a front bar.

can anyone recommend the best place to get it fixed in a hurry, can any panel beater fix it or do i need to get it to a specialist who deals with imports.

the car is uninsured but my friend has plenty of money in the bank already to pay for it.

any advice? thanks in advance

i managed to tape the bar up and drove it to j-racing. im getting a bomex one fitted but i feel sorry for my friend who has to pay most of the cost (im paying for the bar myself cause its worth more then a stock one). oh and my friend is a girl and she is very upset about it so i dont think bitchslapping her would help :P

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
