Hey guys just had a scuff in my s2 33 with a frkn excel cutting the big round about before bunbury.

No headlight damage but left hand fender is pushed in,a little crumpled and the front bar

pushed in a bit under the fender,basically her rear hit 10cm behind light.

There also seems to be a tiny crack on the metal inside under the bonnet.

Should i pay $120-50 for a fender (if i can find a white one) and fit it myself,or get it beaten out and sprayed?

also will i need the inside beaten and resprayed to stop rusting?

How much would all this cost roughly?

I have a bodykit coming on tuesday so front bar is no worries.

Will get pics soon

Its pretty vague whos fault it actually was,and i was just asking what i should do so i can get some quotes and figure out if its worth bothering her about,shes only had her license 3 weeks and has 3rd party..

im just too much of a nice guy :cool:

lol! if she only got 3rd party that is good news for you as they will fix your car.

if it was her fault and you are going to use insurance then best way is to contact your insurance explain you were in an accident it was the other person fault and they will tell you what to do.

or else just go to different spraypainters/panelbeaters and ask for a quote then give the girl and call and see what you can work out.

depending on the damage to the fender it might just be easier/cheaper to buy a second hand one and get it respray *but it also depends on the condition of the 2nd hand fender*

bonnet best to get it sorted because as you mention if the paint has been crack off and its bare metal it will start to rust. but if its just a crack and on the underside might be easier to bog it up and just spray it black as you wont see it

price its hard to say without pics but maybe anywhere from $250 to $600 ish (ruff est)

touchup the bonnet yourself and get vented front gaurds

anytime something breaks or gets broke upgrade to sumit better

for the other driver issue get two qoutes take to them and ask to pay half totally reasonable and you dont feel like a dick when you spend that money on mods

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
