just got my two quotes,

it seems that the spacesaver saved my boot from caving in further - so the thing is f**ked

first guy said 6-8k for the repair,

and the 2nd guy said around 8k - possibly needing a rear cut..

fuuuuuuuuck!

Get old mate to just buy you another car

Aslong as you dont install some hectic chromies with perfect narrowbody fitment we should be sweet.

Track car ftw :) Wish I could afford another one. Best I can afford atm is a 31 or something. We'll see in december :P

1. I don't like chromies.

2. I hate people that put body kits on there car and they can't lower it where the wheels are in the guard, hence buying a Nismo kit for it that is the same height as the stock kit :P

And 31's are awesome! (I use to have one)

8k is only 2/3 of the value of the car so you might get it repaired. If not just hope they give you the whole 12k n buy another one

jeez how annoying.. didnt think it was that bad though, isnt $8k a little overpriced?

basicaly what you need is a rear bar, a boot lid and straightening out the rear end..

now the first two items you can get for less than $1k?

It'll be cheap if you source it yourself definately but if you're letting someone else do the job its an entirely different story. First they will get all brand new geniune parts, second mark up 30% 40% (just look at my charge rate at work... 135/hr to client)? And third, their time/contacts. These would make your 2-3k job easily 5-7k. But I do agree 8 seems unreasonable.

If I were you... try to get the full 12k and save the rest up and get a GTR ! I pack my lunch/cook dinner for more than a yr to get mine =P

brandon you car is amazing - but its 4wd!

im a man of my rwd hahaha

ill straight swap you though :P

Its a good deal Brandon. Tristans car does epic skids :P

I dont think 8k is unreasonable. It would be a fair amount of work to straighten up the car properly and things will always come up which are unexpected. Its probably a 6k job but the guy has given himself a buffer.

PS: GTR + RWD Mode?...

      Engine Issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Resizing injectors in Nistune can be done a couple of ways, and there are a couple of ways that you can make a mess of it. The tuner needs to be really aware of the effects of whichever approach he uses (either K, or TIM). They are both easy enough to "get the injector size right" to run the engine. But little details like old start enrichment and hot start are affected differently, depending on which boxes you check.

      Engine Issue

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Pretty safe to say almost everyone that has tuned their own car has experienced this issue. The difference being that we have our laptop in the car and when it happens, it's literally 10 seconds of tuning to sort it.  Would you be happy to plug in your laptop and sort this yourself? It is a very simple process and there is no risk of harming your engine (if you are worried about that).

      Engine Issue

      Basically your tuner needs to drive it for the 30 min (or whatever) to create the same conditions then check the ECU settings and sensors at that time. They may not be excited to because that takes them 30 min rather than just opening the bonnet and seeing the problem straight away.... Hot start is generally not as tricky as cold start, but there would be a table for fuel enrichment vs coolant temp as a starting point

      Yeah, they all cant say anything for sure as everything is working fine . Said unable to find an issue untill it stops again. Could mist likely be CAS wiring or IAS valve issue but again not 100%
