Hi guys.

My girlfriend's dad just reversed out of the garage and into my front left wing (white R34 GTT). It is not bad just need a new wing. Can any one point me in the right direction? im guessing wreckers? he is not worried about the cost and told me to get a new panel rather than getting a panel beater try to fix it. what do you think would be the best thing to do? get a brand new panel or get one from a wreckers?

A wreckers if you can find an undamaged one in the white the same condition as yours as it would save the cost & time of paint. And make sure your gf doesn't split up with you any time soon :down:

if your looking for a new GTT R34 wing, PM Guy (SCR34M), his selling his one in white too.

when i had my FC RX7 my best friends mum reversed into my front drivers quarter panel with her BMW on her own driveway, i could barley open the door haha, anyway we went to the police station filed a report on what happened then it was all claimed on her insurance, and because it was done through insurance it went through a quality panel beaters and came out beaut :huh: they even picked up and delivered the car because i worked.

nah were not interested in going through the insurance. He is fine to just pay for it.

I think i must have called almost every wrecker in perth today and only found one with the panel (in silver though, so would deff need to be painted). they said it will cost $400+ a bit of a bloody rip off for a second hand panel if you ask me.

lol how much would a set of gtr ones cost just out of interest?

if you get the gtr guards you might aswell get the whole front changed so it can be painted at the same time. :)

lol nah i dont think so. I dont really want to be spending too much time or money on the car.

I just like the fact that it is a nice looking, easy to drive comfortable and fun car to drive.

I have decided unless i have somethin special like a GTR i am not going to blow any money on it especcialy seeing as i have none lol.

I should be getting that panel delivered to me at work some time today. just need to work out where i am going to take the car to have it painted and fitted.

I now need a new side indicator as well because it has fallen off at some point when i was driving :(

Ok I got the panel.

Not really in the best condition, a few nasty scuff marks on it and a little dent but oh well not a lot I can really do about that.

It is getting painted anyway so they can fix that up. It is better than the one that is on it at the moment.

On the upside it still had the indicator in it so I don’t need to do looking around for another one of those providing it works.

I know people have covered it on here before but could anyone point me in the direction of a good repairer, preferably in Osborne Park Rockingham? I work long days so need somewhere close to home or work.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
