Spotted an L plater attempting to reverse paralel park behind my car. She obviously failed. Fortunately they hung around until I got back from where I was to let me know. We swapped numbers.. (btw - she wasn't hot).

Anyone recommend what I should do now? I've never been in this position before.. I'm not 100% on how bad the scrape is and if I can just buff it out or something.

Definitely won't buff out, unless they left white paint on you and didn't remove any of yours. From the photo is looks like it's taken paint OFF your car and down to the primer coat?

...luckily your car is only gloss black, so it won't cost much to get fixed up (relatively speaking). Depending on whether you care too much on quality of repair, perhaps go down a cheap route and find someone who'll do a cashy and have the other party pay for it?

As an example, a work friend's WRX got keyed (about 50cm long, all paint scratched out), and from what I recall it was pearl red. Roughly $600 repair from memory.

Cheers mate.

I just realised that the other car was green.. and it left a white mark on my car, so yeah, its down to the primer.

Anyone suggest any shops, or anyone who can do cash job? .. this is the worst time of the year to get this sorted. lol.

Ring your insurance company and let them tell you what to do next. She's obviously being honest and not trying to get out of it so it should be straight forward?

BTW.. is the angle distorted or are you wearing a really funny looking hat :D

Dude - home all day today and your more than welcome. Im sure you'll like the changes :D

Plus you can check out some bit's n pieces I have laying around :thumbsup: Thought I saw you both in the red s15 yesterday near the HypingDome.

I still owe a big thanks to the SAU crew who showed up at the surprise party in Jerra. Damn my nephew Beau for pulling it together. Blew my mind, Jeez the crew were tight back then.

Was awesome night. An esky FULL of bourbons, replica limited model GTR 32 and the donation$ from passing the hat around came up around $400 to get this rebirth started.

I know I was that pissed I offerd everyone a ride in the GTR when she was rebuilt.

Ps. I know you still have the scar from your party trick - LULZ

Spotted me taking the top off my nuckle pretty much to bone!

Trying to install my Greddy controller at the time cutting a zip tie with a steak knife sounded like a good idea

HAHA. FAIL.

You ok though?

Got my EBC today. Install time soon!

    • Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters. 
    • I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix. 
    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
