I think it's one of those catch-22 scenarios. Tough sh!t with this one. Either smash the lazy owner and risk more stress or bite your lip and polish it out (which i think was a realistic choice).

I've got numerous claw marks on my Skyline from the hoardes of cats that roam around my house and slide down the fenders. My cat is a little sIut. I can't do sh!t about it though.

I've also washed my car and noticed, "hmmm, a massive key mark along the passenger door...where did that come from?" Well some wanker did it, but again it's tough sh!t.

I'm with Modena, it would be a lot more than a scratched panel if you tried to kill the dog.

Take it out on the owner, NOT the dog.

And no, I'm not suggesting you hang the owner, just sort it out with him.

i like dogs, so i agree, but hang the owner anyway for good measure.

on the other hand i don't like cats, want to borrow a .22?

In my experience, most owners of pit bulls and staffies are bogans with attitude. Some guys are allright but its usually the minority.

They are also careless with their dogs... I had one guy let his dog go in the middle of the road so I had to slam on my breaks and my car nearly went sideways... when I looked at him with "WTF?" expression, he just looked at me and kept walking... d&^%head...

hey dude sorry to hear dog claws are a bitch of a thing for scratching paint.... i got a few when i parked my R round the back and my malamute wanted to see over the fence so used my car as his way up! :) buffed and buffed but u can still see em

good luck neway

u called it square jus cos he 'says' it wont happen again...as if...he doesnt care....he would have let the dog do it again if it had the chance....i would have been out of the car and ripped the dog apart....or jus ran over it and then gone 'meh, deserved it'!

Thats is just cruel......... i would just walk to the owner.

you should take your dog or a mates dog for a walk get the dog to jump all over the car then when he comes out pissed just smile and say dont worry mate it'll buff right out

too bad the guy probly owns a battered EA thats already got more probs than a few scratches. good idea though.

i was driving home last night with mate (about 1:00am) when i aproached a speed hump and saw a staffie looking dog on the road. As i stopped this moron of a dog decides to jump on my front bar and just stares at me. it then ran around to my side of the car and thought about jumping up so i start trying to drive off and it runs to the front of the car again and dissapeared. So as i start to creep over the speed hump the dog shows up on the passenger side and jumps onto my guard and then my door at which point i cracked the shts and dialled in x amount of revs and got out of there. The most frustrating part of this was that the owner of the dog was just standing on the footpath talking on the phone AND DIDNT EVEN SAY A WORD!!!! So i got around the corner and jumped out to inspect... bingo. Guard and door scratched :down: .( Because it was dark the scratches looked worse on my phone light than what they really were). So iv done a U-turn and gone back to the owner(mind you the dogs still roaming while the owner is holding the chain) and told him his dog scratched my car, to which he replied, what do you wana do about it.

We ended up calling it square after he said it will never happen again and i was confident it would buff out.

So today i gave it a hand cut and polish and..........presto

My question is: Is it me or do ppl not respect other ppls cars these days, to just keep their mouth shut while their pet destroys ppls pride and,

: has anyone else encountered a situation like this?

Ever heard of an air rifle?

a lot of people don't care what their pets or children do.

If I caught anyone putting a scratch on my car i would treat it like an insurance case. I wouldn't show the emotion of rage. Take his details etc and then hand it over to the insurance company. Get him to admit his dog did jump all over the car. He can pay to have the sratches professionally fixed.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
