Could have been power steering fluid as well. I'm not a fan of the red Commodore coolant. When it gets old it suddenly turns to mud so you need to completely flush your entire cooling system to avoid overheating. I hated working on Commodores like that.

I've seen a Commodore with an abusing note on the window telling them to "learn how to park". The fact they took all the effort to write out a note made me laugh so hard!

Parked behind the video shop the other night, just as I'm about to leave a car parks up next to me. Noticed it was a bit close & the driver reversed back & went in again. Was sitting there with the engine running but putting money back into my wallet etc, and as I'm about to leave I hear this bang. Look over & the driver is saying "Hey, be careful!" to the kid in the back, who opened their door right into my car.

Then the driver is just looking straight at me for a bit before I get out, and she got out at the same time. Walk around the back of my car & said I hope that wasn't bad. Then she goes what are you on about, nothing happened. Told her bullshit, I heard it. Was checking with my phone light but didn't see anything noticeable before she pretty much pushed me out of the way.

Fearing for my life because for the record, she was a fat ugly bitch who I thought was maybe hungry & could have eaten me to keep me quiet. Then some other fat bitch with her was calling me a dickhead & then the kids are saying "It wasn't us, it wasn't us". Then she made some tapping noise on her car & said that's what the noise was, and I told her bullshit because I heard it through my car. She then claimed how could I hear it over the sound of my engine...replied very f**king easily! Then I just left it alone & got in my car, getting her rego would have been pointless really. People like that are really f**ked up, I hope I see the massive bitch again somewhere though. It's all principle, man.

Checked under some proper light & it's just like a stone chip really & easy to touch up, but f**king annoying I have to, and that it's the second time in that place my car has got damage like this!! Not parking there ever again. It sounded a lot worse than what it was, and when you know it's a door hitting the car I thought it would be worse because of how loud it was.

Moral of this rant - Fat bitches with no respect for anyone should be shot & used to feed half of 3rd world countries. The end.

Last Wednesday I was parked at a chemist in Bunbury for less than 10 minutes and some douche put a huge dent into my back left panel, leaving some of their blue paint behind as well.

This wasn't enough for this prick though. The idiot then keyed my front left guard and sprayed some kind of stringy foam stuff all over the side of my R. What a complete act of random vandalism. If I had seen any of it happen I would have kicked every panel of his/her car in, jumped on the roof and bonnet and probably ended up in the local lockup.

End result $2000- $3000 damage :thumbsup:

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
