Hey Yall

Bloody white car slamed their door into my rear left door today leaving a 15 cm high dint in my door and a line of paint from their car on my door...

Paint came straight off no worries, but has left a crease mark and has really annoyed me...

Im so pissed right now, must have been very intentional to do so much damage... Bastards...

(Need less to say no note left behind)

Im looking for someone who can hep me out with like a paint less dint removal???

Ive done it before with some of my older cars, but never with this one... I got charged an arm and a leg last time I did it so I dont want to go back to them...

Does anyone here do it, can you adivse on a good place to get it done cheap???

Brand new car, with a bloody dint... Arhhhhhh

is this on the SS?

yeah

15cm. must have been intentional to leave a crease that big.

yeah, its not a deep dint due to it being right near the edge of the door (stongest part of the door) but it sucks...

will be easy to fix, for a professional I mean... Id never try my hand at body works...

such a shame.. the first ding on a new car always shits you..

there is a group called "touchup guys"... I thought they were a fag company driving around in a van to touch up men, but it turns out they do dent removals.. so I didn't bother calling them... :D

might help you though..

I've seen their van around my area..

Yeah I copped a good dent from an old fag in a Tarago, nice and high up on my door, the prick was taking ages to park and even had his wife move a trolley so it didn't touch his "lovely" car, I had literally turned my back for 5 mins...massive white gouge and he'd fled the scene.

there is a few guys on the coast and you might find someone in brisbane under similar names.i used a guy from a mob called dent force here in marrochy, had 3 decent dings to get out but he got them.I think it was $60 a panel from memory.Or there is dent doctor too.

I just booked in for monday with http://www.undintit.com.au/

Will let you know how I go, but looking at website they do fixed price removal of $110 per panel onsite...

Im goona go with the "at thier workshop" option as its a 20% saving and close to the office... So tad over $80 per panel...

Everyone I called was $100+ per panel and even more for onsite repair, or over $70 per dent...

I called and said, I have two dents almost the same on both rear doors, he said oh we will take care of you to keep it under $200...

So thats 4 dints repaired for under $200 (hopefully)...

And they are gonna look at a little mark in the rear right wheel arche which I only just found today after going over the car with a fine tooth combe...

So yeah, ill let you know...

ooh yeah let me know how it goes, my doors make me sad each time I look at them :P

and ROFL @ dent doctor...one of their guys "04DOC" gave it a squirt past me on the M1 yesterday, straight past a speed camera **fLaSh** he was too busy looking over my way and being a tool to see the massive 4WD almost protruding into the inside lane with "POLICE" written on it.

LOL

Yep, so due to the weather this morning I was unable to take any before photos...

And after photos are pointless....

CAUSE ITS LOOKS ALL BRAND NEW... :P

Worked out to be $220 total...

So im pretty happy with that, they were not the cheapest but they do have a really good rap...

+1 from me too...

Im calling them :P I have one dent in my merc, its like pen sized i hope they can get it out :D

Up their bumbs i dont like them. They want $110 to remove a dent smaller then a 5c coin, but its $110 if you have 50 dents in that panel. They charge per panel. They can suck my balllzzzzzzz

My mate Jason who works for Dent Magic i cannot recommend highly enough.

His prices are better too.

Ph: 0411674089

Tell him i sent you too

Thanks turbo_bitch lol I will give them a ring when I get some spare time.

so how was it?

my car has a dent too but i don't really want to pay 80 for removing a dent

or is 80 consider cheap?

Oh I haven't called yet I'm retardedly busy and planning a road trip so I'll give a ring when I come back, but $80 is about standard its gonna very be $10-$20 every else you call. I don't know why they charge so much for something that takes them less then 10 minutes to complete.

Don't wanna be rude to you Alex but they charge $80 for a reason, thats because they are professional at there field of work. Everyone can pop a dent out from a panel but do u have the right tools? If you have a stuff up who will fix it?

I work in the design industry where people easily pay me up to $150 an hour for my designs, my tools is my brain which everyone has so why do they pay me to do the design instead they can use there own for free? Thats because I can come up with things that you can't.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
