In need of a quality smash repairer. As the same with most, i am in love with my car, but it also holds alot of sentimental value, which money cannot replace, so i need someone who can give me peace of mind that they know someone who will look after her!

I was recently hit by a massive truck (mack semi, no trailer) he decided to change lanes and hit on the right corner (drivers side) of the rear bar, under the lights. At a quick glance it doesnt look like much, but with the force this guy hit me with the car was thrown into the next lane. Upon inspection i noticed that my rear left wheel is leaning in, and the right wheel looks like it is a bit out of place too. When i drove it, it kinda feels really boat-like, and when driving, while im acccelerating and my foot is on the pedal it feels fine, but when i take it off it feels like its like crab crawling, its strange. and also the hicas is going nutso too! Even though she feels ok, I'm quite hesitant to drive it as this car means everythng to me.

Please, can anyone recommend a quality workshop in melbourne? western suburbs if possible. Thanks!

MiColour in Cheltenham will look after you. Mick isn't back at work until the end of Feb though due to personal reasons but be assured he will look after your car 100%. He won't be the cheapest but I dare say he could quite possibly be the best.

TRANSCAR in (Coolaroo/Cambellfield/Broadmeadows area).

I have used many panel shops before but Transcar is the Best panel shop i have been to.. bar none.

Their quality and service is second to none..

Their attention to detail is astounding and literally no car will leave their shop doors in unsatisfactory condition.

And they also do importing and performance work.

Believe me go there and you won't be dissapointed... :thumbsup:

MANY THANKS TO ALL SUGGESTIONS - MUCH APPRECIATED GUYS !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Nick, lol funny I seen the guys at Primal a few days ago - they were, yep, AWESOME !!!!!!

After my accident as a starting point I went to another well known workshop down in sunshine, just knowing that I could go in there act all 'um i dont know whats wrong with my car' and this guy would feed me with a bit of info to go off. He tells me that my diff is gone and i need a new one (mind you he only looked at it), just because its leaking, I told the guys at Primal, they just laughed and said the gasket for it costs maybe $40!

As the damage from the accident on the body was minimal (only large mark and some cracks on the back bar) the back wheels were crab crawling and the steering was vibrating a bit, I knew there was bad things going on, they checked out my suspension for me, the side that got hit was out by 2, they adjusted it and gave me details for a suspension place.

Just shows what genuine people they are. I plan to do a fair bit of work to my baby soon, and they will be the ones i will be handing over my money to.

Yeah they are honest guys, which is a nice change in the car game. Also you can see that they know what they are doing by the quality of both their cars, check them out if whe you're in there next. Only thing is that ther workshop is a b!tch to find unless you have someone show you the way.

One thing I would suggest is to get your suspension work done by centreline. The quality of cars in that place speaks volumes for their workmanship.

Hope the car turns out ok!

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      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.
