damn....i was just in an accident. Basically the whole front of my car was pushed in as it was wet and i went up the back of the car in front.

im probably gonna need a new front bar and lights and such. but its not that bad. the bonnet needs to be repaired.

can anyone tell me of any good repair places around the eastern suburbs area? im in doncaster/templestowe.

any info would be greatly appreciated

Sorry to hear that man......good luck with the repair. I grew up in Doncaster but never needed my car fixed. However my parents weren't so lucky......unfortunately I can't remember the name of the place but they can be found behind the old pizza hut/pancake parlour on donnie rd (theres a little side street next 2 the old pizza hut, take that then turn 1st right....u can't miss it on ur right hand side)

they did a top job....parents owned the car a further 4 yrs and never had a prob.

hey chef, think i saw you on springvale road today?

around 1030, would that be right?

i was like... shit, thre goes my car....

but was stuck at a light and tried to hoon up and follow, but gone.

btw, where is JR auto in box hill? me and a mate were looking for some rice the other day, and we couldn't find it...

naw, hypertech is a performance shop for serious stuff..

If you just want a new front bar, try jetspeed..or IQ Auto (see Front Bars thread).. For the other bits you'll need to find wreckers..

skyline33 (PM) generally has lots of bits and pieces.

i am sorry to hear/see this mate.....i was hit from behind last year(although not too bad) and i know how much it hurts...

i just wanted to say stay away from a Clayton panel beaters whom i dont wanna name here but will do in pm if you need...bastards drove me crazy when i trusted my car to them....

anyway glad you are ok and that the damage is not too bad...

good luck with the repairs.

i dont plan on going to a clayton panel beater. i want something locally to me. the car is currently undrivable. it starts up fine and all that, but some of the fans punctured the radiator i think and whenever i drive, steam comes out. it was doing that as i drove it home. now im gonna have to get it towed to the repair place. more $ for me to pay.

    • R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to?  I'm not really sure what you're saying. 
    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
