OK well it was only a BB gun but whoever done it used metal balls and I found six on the ground next to my but there are ten shots from the front right guard along the door and all the way to the back right panel. The back right panel also got a good knee by the *unts!!! Where they kneed my car there is no scrathing of the paint but the dent is more than 5cm deep and about 20cm accross.

Each shot left a small dent and chipped off the paint so now I need to find out how much its going to cost me. My car is a two tone with silver on the top and the darker sort of grey colour at the bottom (Im colour deficient so I might be wrong). Now I have been told that it is impossible to get the same colours and just get a panel beater to smoothen out the panels and then get them affected panels resprayed. I have also heard that to blend the paint in properly it has to go across 3 panels so thats pretty much most of the car and I dont want differently shaded panels!!! So is my only choice to respray the whole car???? If so how much would this cost?? With a reputable business???

Ps. No Insurance!!!

A decent respray is around $3000. You can probably knock $1000 off this if you do the prep work yourself, though I'm not sure how much of an expert you have to be to do that properly.

Where did this happen? This kind of shit really pisses me off, makes me want to form some sort of vigilante group and find these pricks and bust em up good!

Argh sorry to hear. Where'd this happen?!?!

his location says Strathfield :( I hope it's not in Stratty as I'm there all the time.

I too know how it feels - I recently drove over white paint (black R32) that some morons poured over the road! cost about $300 for detailing and cleaning (twice) to get rid of it :D

    • 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 😂
    • 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.
