Hey Guys,

Mate ran up the back of me, we have agreed to pay 50/50 on repairing my baby.

From the pictures can you guys give me some recommendations and rough prices on how much this is going to cost to repair, and where on the Gold Coast or Brisbane. I want to get a few quotes before asking how much my mate can pay.

From what i can see i need the following parts.

*Rear bar + paint

*Complete new exhaust or just repair the 2 bends (one bend in the middle and the dump pipe) whats the cheaper option?

*Left hand side rear panel needs banging out and respray.

*The boot itself doesn't close properly, and where the spare tyre sits its a little bumped upwards...its not level

I want to get a quote on the absolute minor things that need to be done to fix, get half the money off my mate, then go all out..full respray new kit etc.

Peace

Tone

probably be like $450 for the bumper to be fixed and repainted... you'll have to get a new exahust so around $200 and tipping... so around $700 mate... it's not a huge problem... save up and get it fixed.

^ Its not as easy as that mate. You are forgetting the fender which looks like the most expensive part to fix. Not to mention the rear reinforcement bar or whatever its called. The fuel tank looks a bit screwed too.

Whats that I see on your left C pillar near the top? :P

thanks guys, yeah the crease near the C piller was like that when i bought the car, im getting that fixed anyways. But will leave that out of the quote for now.

I reckon that's about $4k + worth of damage there. Why are you even paying half if you got hit anyway?

Even tho he ran up the back of me, it was kinda my fault aswell.

I locked up at an amber light going red, and he locked up too, i rekon if the road wasnt wet it wouldnt have happened.

so how did you get the dent in the side. I know the C pillar one was there already. looking at that - $4k min. they will have to replace the fuel tank, rear boot panel, bumper support, bumper cover,rear tail light. the spare tyre well may pull out.

if the side dent happened at the same time you have frame damage. that opens up another can of worms.

The dent in the side just happened, he hit me square on. Should have seen the other car, it was an excel btw, complete write off.

4k ouch !!

the tail lights are fine and seem to be working.

The tail lights could be working, but the seals are all stuffed. Water, dirt, etc will get into it. Best to replace.

I agree with the others though, you're looking at at least $4k, probably even $5k.

That's a bummer mate - with due respects; your car is worth around $8K or something? Fixing it could even nearly buy you a new one - I would sell it and get pay some more and get a new R32 or even a R33 or R34... sorry to see this happen, I can see how upset you would be...

One question though, with your Mate's car - no mention of it's damages... how is he coping?

Yeah hes not doing to well.

This happened 3 hours after getting his license. (unlucky huh)

hahahah ... I know how it feels, I was the same... got my license then a couple of hours later smashed right into my Mum's $50K 4WD ... she was pulling here hair out... I'm still trying to pay her back for repairs to this date (like 7 years later) lol... so yeah, that's why P-platers often get shitty cars for their first cars... shit happens... can't be prevented.

the crease at the top of the c pillar is a factory join. they bronze it together.

i would take it to the best smash repair place u can and get them to see if its repairable. U might find after a few measurements the chassis is no good anymore. Usually it is front hits that write cars off the fastest so u might be lucky.

Buy the time u keep the 4-5k and wreck it u might get ur money back.

it must be said tho, as if lock up like that in the wet at an amber light!

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
