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!

    • To back this up, I'm always looking on the outside, seeing the level, and then opening it up anyway, as I'm worried the level I've looked at, is more so a scunge line. Then you end up dipping your damn finger in it too depending on the type of tank you're looking at just to make sure I'm not going insane.   PS, Mark, polish up the none moroso one a bit and then give it a clear coat. The Moroso one looks to be way shiner (not mirror polished, just shinier) and it'll still look weird with the two different alloys beside each other. Either that, or Id probably paint them a flat black...
    • Good old Orange Park hey... 😛   f**k I miss that race track
    • lo, it was a death trap. Good times. Got any Fatz Drift Day DVDs still available?
    • Yes, overthinking. Many PS reserviors are completely opaque. Our Skyline ones, for example. Have to remove lid, peak inside, swirl the dipstick, try to remember how to read it, etc etc. Normal. Radiator overflows are often sufficiently opaque and scunged up that you can't see the true level inside anyway, and have to open and have a peak. Besides which, I replaced the (massively expensive, even back then) plastic overflow in my Alfa GTV, back in the '90s with a stainless one that I had a good fabricator make up to be dimensionally same-same, that looks remarkably similar to the Bogan's Moroso one above, and I never suffered any particular paranoia that I didn't know how much coolant was in it.
    • Looks great, but I'm always concerned that it makes it difficult to see what level the fluids are at. Am I overthinking this?
