Hey mate, firstly so sorry to hear what happened.

Let me guess, carbon fiber bonnet with no bonnet pins? The classic scenario!

Although I cannot help you with a good Adelaide smash repairer, I can say that try to claim it on insurance where possible as it's going to cost you big time.

Good luck mate.

OUCH1.. nearly ddi exactly the same thing myself last weekend , was doin a hundred when i notcied it wasnt shut properly, luckily i caught it in time, sounds like it could of done some damage,,

As long as i can remember shit kept going wrong with my cars, its called a learning process ( thats what i keep telling myself anyway) a while ago i changed my diff, all seemed good took it took the exhaust shop to get some work done the guy kept telling me something was wobbly when he test drove it, didnt have a clue what he was on about

turns out i got distracted when putting my wheel nuts back on i had tightened them all...but then loosened them for some reason, luckily i caught them with about 3mm of thread left, could have been real ugly

Another time i i couldnt figure out why my car wouldnt start after putting a new engine in..was scratching my head for goin over everything in the engine 3 times , i wanted to take to it with a hammer....Forgot to plug the sensor on the auto shift that tells the car its in park...duh

Hey mate, look at it this way and it will definitely make you feel much better...you're still alive!!

Now, the bonnet can be replaced...you can always go back to the stock one...if you don't have a stock one, you can pick one up for under $300. Just keep an eye out on ebay, firesport.com or on the classifieds here. You'll find one soon enough.

The roof can be fixed...will cost you about $500 to get it fixed and repainted...so all in all, it will cost you about $1,000 to get it all fixed...I thought your windscreen was destroyed too...but if it is not then it's not that bad!

Post up some pictures if you can!

Sorry to hear about that. Where in Perth did this misfortune occur? Tunnel?

Hoony had the same problem. Placed his fibreglass bonnet down, forgot to clip it right down, and being so light it didnt click into the safety latch. Flew up and destroyed his bonnet and dented his roof. He got the roof fixed with a paintless dent remover for less then $1500. Shoot him a PM, he'll give you a number if you want.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
