Before i start, i dont have my skyline anymore, sold it to my bro. I have an astra SRi now and in the process of doin it up, the other day i came out of coles and some bastard had hit my car, had red paint all over it, its not huge but noticeable. A mate told me i should ring coles and tell them i found trolleys next to my car, the mark is right on trolley height. Dunno if i should or not?

I'd ask them if they had any surveillance/security cameras pointed at your car first..

if they do you might be able to get the rego number of the guy who did the hit and run.. f***ing assholes.. this is why I steer clear of shopping center carparks.

If they DONT.. then you might want to consider trying the trolley idea. :bahaha:

Carparks just arent cool. I'm lucky (or kinda dumb) because i have two cars so i drive my POS to work and to mates places and just for general driving. Drive the skyline around when I am cruising or if a want, sorry need to go fast or more than likely if I have to pick up a chick or something. But Coles won't cover you for anything mate sorry to tell you. This is one of those things thatjust can't really be avoided I guess but bad luck anyway. BTW why did you sell your skyline?

sorry to tell u this but unless u saw someone push a trolley into it and report it then and there, u dont really have a leg to stand on, cos it could have happened anywhere

if they have surveilance then that can be a different story

i would think that a car would have done it as trolleys dont generally leave red marks

i know this cos i work for coles myself

Just a push out and paint job, but still bout 600 bucks as i got quoted, oh well, might aswell fork it out and stop whinging bout it.......no more damn carparks though.

Oh, and thanks 4 the girls car comment, they do love it....especially the back seat, heh heh.

I have had a trolly hit my car (also had a golf ball hit the roof while driving past a driving range but thats another matter) wasn't my Line fortunately but if you don't do anything on the day it happens forget it. In the trolly incident they wouldn't believe me till I dragged the manager outside pointed out the broken trolly bay, the hillslope, the trolly still jamed into the side of my car and the dents/ scratches that looked remarkably like the ones you'd expect if a trolly rolled down a hill and hit the drivers door of a car.

    • How many of you guys run the synchro os giken set and at what power? Do you then also use the billet plate?  How is it launching with it, any dragy times from 0-60? 60ft?
    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
