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

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Only if you do not You will not be able to drive it with any serious load without risk of it pinging, which will either slowly or rapidly kill it, depending on how bad it is.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By 677_GTR · Posted

      Hi guys, I’m new to the GTR scene. Picked up an R33 GTR earlier this year that needs a lot of love. I’ve been going through the hot side, changing all the gaskets and while it was all off I managed to score a set of -9s. It still had the stock ceramics so I was pretty happy to get the 2860s.  I live in a small country in the pacific with 0 performance car scene. No dyno’s no performance parts, let alone stock parts for a skyline. I order everything from Australia and do it myself. This means I’ll be running the stock ECU. Maybe down the track I’ll get an aftermarket set up and do a remote tune.  Will the car run -9s on stock tune safely?  I have a very heavy foot so I really hope so 😂   thanks guys

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not sure if it will bolt up, but.... I'm reasonably sure that the ID of the runners is somewhat smaller on the NAs. So it probably wouldn't be a good match at the flange where the top and bottom meet. So that would be a reason to not do it. And the skinny runners would be the bit you're keeping, which would be a reason to no do it. You'd want the big runners if you were doing any work to swap stuff. Why not just use what you've got, like nearly everyone else who has +T'd an NA? You don't need or want the TCS throttle or other stuff that is specifically DET inlet/crossover.
