I would if i was an insurance company.

turns out i still need to cover the excess until they track old mate down, or i just wait till they sort that out (in other words Shannons dont want to sort out the police report asap, and are trying to scam 500 out of me)

Got the ball rolling yesterday, now i need quotes. can someone suggest a good panel shoppe on the northside? ive never had to deal with one...so i wouldnt know.

Anybody free and willing to help me dismantle the car this weekend? Struggling with shitty tools and have no idea how to go about pulling the engine out.

Willing to provide food and drinks cause I am a cheap fark

Mangs,

These guys did work on my sisters mazda, they replaced a rear quarter skin and painted it. I know they replaced it i just can't work out where they joined the new panel in. Quality work great blending on the paint (can't tell where it starts) and fast repair.

Not as fresh. Had to take the leopard for a couple of long drives to see if miss was fixed (it wasn't), and then I had to drive the skyline for a few days while I changed the coil packs, etc. So they're both a touch dirty. Will be fine with a wash though.

....then they will no doubt get dirty again on the 400km trip out to gundi. :(

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
