Hi all,

I need to find a good smah repair with a solid reputation to fix my Stagea. Does anyone have any recommendations as I need to organise my car to be towed?

Please let me know your experience with the trader you recommend and why they were good.

Thanks.

Tee

I haven't had any work done yet but I'm taking my GTR to Capital Collision in a month or so.

Quite a few of the boys on Canberra Cruises use them and I thought that the guy who I met was really helpful and professional when I went out there.

Or if you can convince them to do it then Tony Farrugia is awesome. He fixed our last Audi and he's about to fix the new one that some toolbeater dropped a spanner on. But if you go there be prepared to wait!

Hope that helps! :banana:

Farrugia dont generally touch Japanese imports (read: Skylines, Silvias, Supras etc) so I assume the Stagea would be in the same boat.

Dave Smash Repairs in Queanbeyan do fantastic work, but once again they are one of the most busy panel beaters in the region so you will need to wait.

I figured as much with Farrugia - they just told me they prefer working on "new cars" when I spoke to them.

The dude at Capital Collision did mention he's got a pretty long wait list at the moment, he said he'd squeeze me in cause the engine is going to be out already. I think anywhere that's any good is probably going to come with a wait.

If its not an insurance job and you want to save money, try Adam Hickey on 0418 630 813 - have a look at some of his work, he's pretty good.

PS I won Shannons Insurance "Car of the Show" at last weekends Bulahdelah Speed Weekends "Show and Shine" day with my racecar - and that has Adams paintwork on it. But like I said, look at his work and decide for yourself, he'll have something to show you.

[i gave Capital Suspension a call and he was incredibly helpful. They have my business now. Just need to wait for the results.

Big thanks to Kat and the rest for your input.

got any pics of the damage?

D.

I'll try to get some this weekend. The car is in Jindabyne.

The rear passenger side wheel is folded in though. I had a chat to the guy at Capital Crash repairs, and he said based on that alone, it's likely it might be a write off. Will see when the car gets towed to the repairer.

      Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
