Hey guys, Today my mate's 180 type-x (only bought it 3 weeks ago) was smashed in from the back in peak hour traffic around dande area.. the person that did it pulled over with my mate in the service lane but then sped off and my mate didnt catch the licence place number.. after being pushed he also hit the guy in front of him a bit who said he's gonna make a claim on my mate which i guess seems fair enuff.. anyway he's gone to a few random panel beaters in dande and they've said its gonna cost around $3-4K for repairs but he says it doesnt look like it would be that much (I havent seen it yet).. Anyway does anyone know some good panel beats (preferably in the S.E suburbs) that dont overcharge and do a good job? I was thinking DT Panels as they have good pricing and do great work so yeahh any suggestions for my mate of where he should take it to would be great.

Thanks

Micolour is the SAU-Vic supported/reccomended repairer (SE also), personally I'd go there as i reckon about 30 members have now over the past 12 months :yes:

What might "seem" like nothing, probably is worth 4k to be honest.

Recently my mrs had a small tow-ball hit, one assumes front bar repair/blend spray, $500...

But it has hit the Reo, A/C condenser, piping, Rad support and the list goes on etc etc. 2k or there abouts.

All this from a tiny dint on the outside of the front bar and i tell you now a fair few places would just repair the dint and leave it at that... dodge!

Good and PROPER repairs come at a price, many dodgy places around who just do the quick and dirty fix to make a buck.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
