How much would you guys expect to get the rear bar and light resprayed? and who would you guys go to? Oh and I'm also going to need to get the frame beat out a little bit cause as you may have noticed it's been pushed in, the damage doesn't look that bad but I dont want to mess with the frame. I will probably disassemble the light housing and do it myself though I noticed that it seemed like covering just screws on so it shouldn't be hard to sand down and spray over buy I don't have the equipment of the facilities to respray an entire bar!

EDIT: Oh and does anyone know what that black gooey sealant is around the light housing? Noticed it when taking it off want to get more so I can apply it when I put it back on....seems important

You can get Sikaflex from Autobarn (or similiar) and you need a caulking gun which they'll also have

Tubes are about $20? from memory

Be very careful not to get it all over the place or you'll be forever trying to clean it off

Well it's in DT's hands now, Handled with Vu seems like an honest man, but yea there is some major body work to be done :) $800

1. Repair the beaver

2. Knock back the paint and panels

3. Respray entire rear bar

4. Respray side panel next to the light

5. Respray light :P

oh well, nobody said life was easy

Thanks Kaz, it's in DT's hands now hopefully they will do a good job....their sign does say "All work guaranteed" and in Chinese right next to it: "Just Kidding" hahhaha I wish I could read Chinese

A "mate" of mine went to a "club" with some of that stuff and is still cleaning it out of his ass crack... :)

hahah....gross, yo man I saw you going under the bridge from the Monash Caulfield roundabout didn't notice a smashed up skyline did ya? haha

:) I do what I can...

No I didn't see... ...I'm usually looking for uni students to run down... ...and business tools around near the race track...

I got hit at mcdonalds car park -___-

didnt notice it until i got home

The white paint is from the other car, i hope my black paint is still under it...so all that would need is a cut/polish + pop out the dent?

Personally I would think there is a slight chance that would pop out although, I find if it's not a perfect "punch in" it wont "punch out" and I think it's right where the metal forms the wheel arch it might not pop out but I'm no where close to a pro so yea wait to see one of the more experienced members think, If it was mine I would probably try to get as much of the dent out as I could, sand it smooth, stop by the shop get some spot filler mixed with fiberglass, can of color, and clear coat. Thats been working for me and my minor dints and scratches but like I said I'm far from an expert

Aite guys, Sorry for the the absence latley bet SAU just started to celebrate thinking I left but you guys cant get rid of me that easy! Hahahah anyway I'm currently in Brisbane enjoying the storms and floods hahah but yea update on my car, my bud picked it up and says it looks great cant wait to see my baby again, did a check before I left they had sanded and primed the whole back part of the side panel so yea ppl wondering if DT are iffy and think they just respray over the damage, they don't, but cant wait to inspect for myself well anyways guys anyone want to check out the repairs come to the cruise on the 27th I'll be there! (Sorry to disappoint those people that thought they got rid of me hahahah)

Unfortunately because it involves a crease in the panel that will never pop out properly.

sorry to hear about ur damage dood but cant always hurt to check the local yellow pages thats where i found my parts guy for the R32 till i wrote it off and now i got a R33 same color as urs lolz

    • I drive the Tiguan much harder than the Skyline in all conditions, because it just grips and hooks, unlike the R33 shit box
    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
