Hey Guys,

On christmas eve i was pulling out of the ridiculously dangerous driveway at my complex (which you cant see over the crest of the hill and has cars hammering down the street) and as i edged out, had somebody come flying over the hill and crash into the front of my car. Apart from being completely pissed off at the inevitable situation happened and having my number plate crushed, reo damaged, and front bar dented, i now have to fix the other vehicle.

The car is a hyundai accent 2000 model i think and she hit me with the front left corner of her car. The damage sustained was a smashed front left headlight and damaged front left corner of the front bar.

I am basically asking around if anybody knows of a smash repairer around brisbane (preferrably West side) that does cheap work to a reasonable standard to get this hyundai fixed. I say reasonable standard, as the car was already sporting different coloured paint from previous accidents and even had some scrape marks on the corner that she hit me with.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as there has already been a quote from Toowong Smash, and it came to a wallet hurting $1,600!!! I am going to talk to the chicks dad regarding sourcing parts such as the headlight privately to potentially reduce the fixing cost, as he was very reasonable and sympothetic to the fact my excess would be $2,100 if it goes through insurance.

Thanks in advance guys.

Thanks for the replies so far guys, but just to elaborate on the above: I am going to take care of the repairing of my vehicle, it is a cheap smash repairer that I need for the other car, the Hyundai Accent 2000 model.

As people have suggested, I am going to price up buying the parts needed to fix the car, but I don’t know if the other party will let me fix it, hence the cheap smash repairer. I don’t believe the front bar of the Hyundai will need repainting, and even if it did, I am not paying for it, as there were scratches and paint from other cars all over it before she hit me. The actual paint transfer from the accident is minimal anyway.

So yeah, if anybody knows of a cheap smash repairer to get the Hyundai fixed at, that would be great.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
