I Just Killed My Door....

Today, I thought I'd go and give my car a good wash and a polish, since I finished work early. After I washed the car down at the carwash, it started raining on the way home, so I thought I'd put my car in the garage and polish it in there.

After an hour of polishing the back of the bar, I moved onto the side of the car, but since my garage has heaps of stuff in it, there wasn't much room for me to move around along the sides, so I thought I'd move the car half way out of the garage, so I can do the sides.

But instead of just starting my car for 2 seconds, I thought I'd just take off the handbrake and push it out. I opened the door and started pushing it out, and suddenly, the car went over a little bump and started rolling really quickly, and before I had a chance to pull the handbrake, the driver's side just smacked into the side of the garage, and it just jimmed onto the side and stopped the car.....

Now my door doesn't even close properly.....

So I'm just wondering what I should do.... Is it cheaper for me to find a 2nd hand door? or get it repaired (I doubt they can repair it).

Can anyone give me some advice? as to how to repair it, rather than to tell me not to be as stupid as I was lol

And if anyone have a bare R34 driver's side door (without any dents) for sale, please pm me or contact me on 0434 502 855

Thanks

Charles

well if you cant close it, you got nothing to lose, grab a hammer and beat away. :D

then take it into a few panel beaters for free quotes.

I tried beating the crap of out it, but it didn't even move one bit...

The door is strong, but it wasn't strong enough when it hit my garage :P

I'm wondering if buying a new door will be a better option, as to try and get a panel beater to fix it. Because if it's repaired, you can still notice it afterwards, also the inside of the door is ALL dented.... and either way, I'd probably have to get the whole door (if not more) sprayed.... :)

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      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 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
