Not completely happy with it the bonnet wasn't sparyed correctly can still see the original colour along the edges. where most of the damage was it's not completely straight can still see ripples, dents. I had two lights that weren't working (now fixed) and my wipers are around the wrong way when i wash rear water comes out the front (just gotta switch the lines over and it should be fixed)

Took about a month to get it done almost had to wait another 3 weeks for the front bumper to be imported but luckily he found one locally.

Cash should override all. Especially in the panel game. Got my proton fixed at woods accident repair in south yarra. had a nasty scrape along the rear wheel arch, knocked off paint to the metal. punched in the guard. Paid 800 cash, had it in and out in 2 days and they detailed it for me also. Suppose it depends on where you go, especially if they have to order parts

bad luck dude, with my r33 i had the worst run. dumb bitch druggie junkie that lives across the road was drunk off her ass and was driving her kids to school in the morning n as she drove past my mum she waved, let go of the wheel n crashed into my rear quarter. the worst part was that she blamed my mum for it saying my mum pulled out in front of her. funny thing is i saw the whole thing n mums car wasnt even started. so yeh car was off the road for a month, then only a matter of weeks later after getting it back i had a 3tonne truck run up my ass n write it off. what a world we live in lol

      Oh, another question comes to mind though. What sort of shitty fuel are you feeding it. Mine, a turbo, has to be fed 98RON, so it doesn't ping itself to death. 98 in Oz is good, dense fuel with minimal oxygenated compounds. Meaning that the energy density is high, and if the O2 trim is working, you will get more MPG than with a lesser fuel. If you're using some sort of piss poor E10 blend with some other MBTE or other oxygenated additions, that could explain using more per mile.

      I have no idea where the thump is coming from, it sounds like its from behind me but im not exactly sure. And it was the HICAS light that came on.   I think a complete delete is the route im going to go. Probably going to pick up the kit within the next month and get it installed. HICAS is just going to end up being a headache if I keep it.    Thanks you.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Just putting this here for reference for other beginners. Similar to what I said above.  I learnt if you have a few dents that are fairly close to each other (within a couple of inches maybe 2-4 inches?) Use filler across them all and sand it all at once with the long block as opposed to fixing them seperately.  Will make life MUCH easier because you won't get stuck in the cycle that I did. I think doing it seperately there is some overlap (mean your whole repair zone might cover near the area of the other dent) and you start sanding near the other dent making a low spot.

      Hence why I suggested some tests.

      Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
