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.

    • Also build this EH ute with 370z motor and gearbox with a couple of turbos just for fun.  
    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing  
    • I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
