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 wanted 2 upgrade a little, still keen as ever to get back into a line though.

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.

    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
    • With ordering the belt, you're doing water pump and the idler and tensioner at the same time too yes?
    • This is just a dumb way of keeping the wastegate closed to make more boost. Undo it and either follow the factory setup or redo it properly. Manual boost controllers just use a spring preload to determine when to close in response to boost pressure so it no longer vents to atmosphere.
    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House
