hey guys,

had an interesting experiences a few days ago when a guy got startled buy the crashing sound of a falling air conditioner. he got such a fright that his mobile phone flew out of his hands and whacked right into the side of one of my front quoter panels.

now i have a nice little dent that i want to get removed. i heard awhile ago a bout some kind of paintless dent removal, where they use some kind of machine to suck the dent out. dose any one know of a place in Canberra that dose this?

I think it's called the "Dent King". One of my mates knows him, I think he is on the North side of Canberra.

Might be this one, but it only has contact details for QLD - http://www.dentking.com.au/about.htm

There is a place in fyshwick next to capital automotive in kembla st (across from class locksmiths) that does these kind of jobs ... seen a few luxury type cars in there at times getting small dints and stuff repaired

We used the Dent King last year when a shopping trolley hit the Audi and they did a great job.

There was another place from Qld that did some work on our last car, that was organised by Tony Farrugia, they might be able to point you in the right direction.

Not sure if they are still open, but, the Net shows the following:

If it's the guy who was based at Phillip, he did a fantastic job on a friends Falcon.

If you are bored, there are a number of links on the Net for dry ice/dyi method, just Google "dry ice dent removal".

I'm going to purchase some dry ice and give this a try on the Stagea.

The passenger rear door has a number of dents in it, and if this doesnt work, I'll repair and respray the door.

Dry ice is easy go 2 boc gas in fyshwick with a small esky and fill it up but don't fully seal it up cos it let's off gas good 4 sound deadener removal aswell

Correct.

Minimum quantity you can purchase from them is 4kg, costs approximately $33.

Not sure if it works, however, I'm prepared to give it a go.

I'll post results (positive or negative) when I give it a try.

Have some other work to do on the Stagea this weekend so may give it a go then (in between beers)

I tried Dent King for a little dent in the GTR, they told me they don't do aluminium dents?? Let me know if you find out otherwise... apparently it stretches.

Havent heard from you in a while :O . Had dent king do my lhf guard on Saturday. He thought it was aluminium at first, but I told him it was normal steel, as far as I knew. He didn't say anything about not doing aluminium though. Did a good job, would of been good if he had rung the first time he didn't show up though.

Yeah Im slack :D had a real busy race year and finished off with a trip to Thailand, geesh I love that place, thinking seriously about buying over there and living there for 6 months of the year.

Im not going to be racing as 'full on' this year, it was too much travelling.

Is there only one Dent King here now? or more? if so, which was your guy, I might give him a call. Its only a small dent, but it annoys the crap out of me. The Dent King guy I phoned about a year ago def told me NO to aluminium.

I went to www.dentking.com.au . Wasn't the most communicative guy, He didn't ring me the first time he showed. But it was a good fix. Theres a few small dots left in the panel from the repair. Not that I really notice them, said that was because of my respray. (paints soft)

He said theres three companies doing it in canberra, ones just started, so he suggested not to use that mob lol.

A lot of Dent guys won't do aluminium as it work hardens when the impact is made. I work with aluminium, however, it has its limitations and sometimes it just can't be fixed without being painted.

Pity i'm in NSW aye.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
