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.

think youd be a lil more careful driving such a nice merc

these are good tips, thanks everyone. i dont really have any idea :S

im hoping to take it to "DT Panels"

they have been recommended from a friend.

hopefully they have easy access to all these parts

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!

    • I'll give it a go, it cannot hurt Although, every time I go to Bunnings for one thing, I end up with a trolley load of stuff In other stuff news, I can fit 6 x 15kg bags of Gypsum in the boot of the MX5, I could have put a few more in, but I was already pushing my comfort levels buy dropping 90kg into to boot....LOL
    • It seems to happen only when moving not stationary. It happens more frequently when reversing and turning steering wheel to the right. I MAY have found what the sound is and if it’s that I will feel so dumb since it did start happening around when I put 18” wheels. I attached the image of where there’s a scraping line to that plastic liner and the other side does not have that.
    • Is it a noise that if you turn the wheel, and hold it turned to the right, the screech continues? Or does it only occur while you're moving the steering wheel? Does it occur when stationary turning the steering wheel from centre to the right?
    • I want to also note I did lift the tire and checked for any play to see if it was a bad tie rod. It doesn't move at all.
    • Any insight will help find the issue. When I do a sharp turn to the right I hear a screeching sound coming from the front. It only happens turning Right and not Left. Steering fluid seems okay. Not sure what this part is(picture) but one side seemed "wetter" than the other. All bushing from a quick look did not seem damaged. I'll do a better look but wanted to ask here in case it helps me troubleshoot faster.
