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

    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
    • Sounds like a misfire. Check fuel pressure and don't even think about going into boost while it's like this unless you enjoy engine rebuilds.
