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.

    • 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 ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
