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.

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...

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

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

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.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
