i smacked into a tree.....luckily i wasnt speeding, or else the impact woulda been WORSE.

would it be better to get parts from wreckers? or from people? coz i heard that wreckers over charge u...

but right now, i really cant afford postage for the bonnet, bumper etc....thats why im trying to find some1 selling it locally, so i can pick it up with cash

Sorry to see that mate... I only banged the back of my car and that nearly made me cry in terror... I feel for you.... look on the bright side, it's all cosmetics... will be expensive to fix, but slowly you will get it all fixed... it's not totally impossible!

Jump on www.yellowpages.com.au and look up some local wreckers... remember to bargain down heaps as they're really expensive sometimes!

Good luck.

And oh, you didn't have full comprehensive insurance?? IF so, claim on that... it will end up be cheaper!

Bad luck buddy. Depending on the damage that you cant see in the pic 3 to 5 k. As Ash said get a few more quotes. Try Micolour - Cheltenham or DT Panels - Springvale.

actually, i did go to DT, the guy said that if i can provide all the parts, he can fix it for just 650 labour, but he only had a glance over the car, not sure if he saw allll the damage.....

if your chassis is bent, it won't be 'road worthy'. It'll cost quite a bit to repair it. Not sure how they do it, straightening it perhaps?

Besides getting those parts, maybe you might want to invest in a better set of tyres as well to prevent this from happening again.

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
