that doesnt look too bad

i had a hit like that ages ago, was gone for 1 week

1 week is reasonable, they might have to pull the boot out a bit

make sure you check if it aligns up properly when u get it back

and also make sure the boot opens / closes properly

That sucks!

Get it checked properly, you may need:

- rear bar skin (S1 and S2 are the same)

- rear bar reo

- rear tail lights (if mounts are broken or rear plastic cracked)

- rear "SKYLINE" fascia (if mounts are broken)

- repairs to rear quarters, boot lid, and tail gate.

May take time and a bit of work to do it properly. If it's not done right you'll keep having on going issues with water in your tail light indicators.

im hoping to take it to "DT Panels"

they have been recommended from a friend.

My call is as follows

Rear bar

Rear bar rio

Boot floor

Rear panel

Skyline fascia

Skyline badge

Trust me, I know about these bloody rear enders.

Will be off the road for about 2 week once all the parts are in stock.

BASS OUT

Exactly the same thing, happened to me but I was at the lights!

My quote was

TOTAL $3,346.00

NOTES :

THIS QUOTE IS FOR VISUAL DAMAGE ONLY

FURTHER DAMAGE MAY BE FOUND ON DISMANTLE

PARTS PRICES SUBJECT TO CHANGE!

It looks almost exactly the same but just imagine, your big dent on the right!

Such a horrible feeling!

    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
    • I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
