OK so sadly one of the work vans at my work backed into the front of my car,

i week or so later they backed into the back!

:woot:

so then my work said they will now pay for the back and not the front? (ARS*HOLES)

so i went and got a quote and my work said the quote was to high... so they reffered me to a place they wanted me to get a quote from

so i did...

i asked them if they will fix the front to and i will pay the extra (550 for the front to be fixed)

anyway i go to pick it up today only to notice that the front bar was a completely different one!!!! OMG

it looks effing terrable!!

I ask the man what was up with it and he said they cant get the one that was orriginally on it anymore and they had to put that one on instead.... i asked why i wasnt called about this??? (i was holding back my tears)

i told them i wasnt happy with it and that it needed to be fixed! or put the old one back on and i will go somwere else! he said the old one was thrown out!

AHHHHHHHH :P

he said i have to pay for the one that is on there and that there was nothing i could do about it!!! im like NO this isnt on this is not fixed!!

he said if i find the M-SPEC the one he cant find he would paint it up and put it on for me...

so i would end up haveing to pay for the 2 front bars! he said thats the only way... THIS IS BULLSH*T

why should i have to pay for a bar i dont want???? WHYYY?????

so anyway i am desperatly triing to hunt down the same front bar... M-Spec

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me

im carless and up 550 for nothen if i dont find one =(

theres a pic of my car and the original front bar on it .

Oh yeah and im pretty sure he has put a silvia front bar on it.. is that possible?

get some pics of the front bar you want

and speak to slidewize imports (their a trader on the forums here)

zac could find it on yahoo japan auctions no problems

but you would have to wait a few weeks for shipping (unless you want to pay expensive EMS)

lastly try ebay or see if UAS.com.au in sydney have any suitable front bars

Name and SHAME!!!...

They should have called you to let you know they couldn't find the bar...

The bar you have in the photo looks like the same one I have... ...Maybe try Oakleigh Mechanical Repairs... ...They have heaps of strange parts for 33s... ...95684887...

theres a few places u can try in dandenong, on bridge road.

but what they did to u is such a load of crap....who were they anyway?...

its AMI in Keilor

i had to go to them because my work wouldnt pay for any other quote i got unless i went to them!

i didnt like the look of the place.. and i guess my instincts were right!

schiavello... never work for them.

So you haven't paid for the current front bar they fitted?

Maybe the ACCC could help you with fixing there customer service, you got something you didn't ask for so you shouldn't have to pay for it! Although its always hard to get the money back....

Good luck finding the front bar, I've had similar problems with repairers too, they broke the headlight clips and refused to replace them claiming it was "previous accident damage".

Oh, and name and shame is not allowed on SAU.

Don't take this shit. Both your work and panel beater can't just do what they want.

Your work damaged the front and rear of your car. They pay for the front and rear of your car. They don't decide they will just pay for the back and not the front.

A panel beater cant just choose a front bar that's not even what you wanted and then expect you to pay for it (without letting you know they cant get the original front bar).

Write up a nice legal letter and kindly explain you will rim them in the asshole if they don't fix this bullshit of a job. There are options such as Victorian civil and administrative tribunal (VCAT) that you can deal with such disputes which doesn't cost and arm and a leg. Get things in writing also, write a letter to your work outlining what happened (they hit front AND rear of your car). Hopefully they will acknowledge that it happened and then you can use that against them to recoup all costs.

I hate hearing terrible work practices such as this. The other thing that i really hate also are scum (your work) who damage things then refuse to pay/dont pay for the whole lot.

Makes me angry reading your situation as you have done nothing wrong, yet you have been screwed over massively. You cant let them walk over you, its bad enough they hit your pride and joy TWICE, but to not pay all costs and then have an asshole of a panel beater is just rediculous.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
