Thanks for the help boys, the damage is not that bad at all considering I will be getting a new bodykit anyway straight after christmas. I will be taking it down to Blackburn Motor Body who are world class and are the authorised repairers for Porshe, Lexus & Mercs.

The guy who hit me was around 90 years old and absolutely had no clue. I rang up his insurance and they basically told me that he had four claims in the last two months, what a joke.

What ever you do, don't go to a certain panel beaters on Molan St in Ringwood (there are about 3-4 on Molan St - PM me if you want the name of the one I'm talking about).

I got a $6,000 quote for a repair, then took my car to a trusted (had work done there before) garage and they quoted me $3,500 for it!

There is a good PBeaters... Symes (on Blackburn Rd, cnr Kind St). I bit more expensive (couple of hundred), but they do a GREAT job. Prob, a bit far from Glen Wav. though (~ 30-40 mins)

I'm with inark on this one - Palm Motor Body Works. Don't think u can go wrong there really - even if u do have an issue they'll sort it out quickly and in your favour.

It took me two months to get my car fixed.. they're a nice bunch of blokes and did a good job, but if you end up like me, its not worth it - go somewhere else.

Admittedly it took palm about 2 months to get mine done too - but they did give me a loan car and every second my car spent there was worth it.

Those guys are flat out there and they take pride in their work. Id rather that than some shitty 2 day job that will look cheap in a year or two.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
