Hey all!

I live around Narre Warren and i was wondering where is the best place to get my car fixed? The issue was that in the wet goin around a roundabout at 15/25km max with my mates wheels (cheap tyres, I had no idea plus my inexpirience on wet. Me being a red P Plater) I pretty much went straight and smacked the curb on a bit of an angle... the rims have some scratch to it but this happend:

It bent that part of it (I dont no the name for it)...

So can anyone point me in the right direction? My car is a 1998 R34 25GT if that helps...

How much would i expect to get it fixed, I got cash to fix it so i dont want to go dodgy...

What other models are compatible to look into just getting the part? Is there any aftermarket parts (I dont mind upgrading some of the suspension if needed because I will be getting coilovers in the near future and ill be doing it anyways) ?

Thanks in advance

I'm getting a sense of deja vu looking @ that pic...

Almost certain i've seen the exact one recently somewhere else

As for getting it fixed. Simple as ringing someone in the workshops listing

If you are brave guy then its easy to fix yourself. Jus post in the Wanted to buy section an add asking for a standard from ront left castor rod for an R34GTT. Its 3 bolts and easy to change over.

BUT, i suggest you take it a professional so they can check all the other arms and ensure nothing else is bent

Mate go down to a wrecker and ask for the parts otherwise find someone wrecking an r34. Then its a matter of driving to almost any place that does repairs and tell them to fit it.

BTW hold off on the coil overs, its not going to make the car turn better just make u try and drive quicker around a corner. Use the stock suspension to the limit and then upgrade, u will benefit a lot more.

    • My son saw this Porsche 904 in Yodoyabashi in Osaka, not sure if it's the plastic or fibreglass version 767605763.559358.mp4
    • I agree re not trusting it as it makes mistakes however can do hours of research for you at times by simply asking a question
    • The I've done a lot of research and feel like I'm becoming a nut and washer expert. The washer in question doesn’t look very conical—it’s almost flat, but one side has a chamfer. The guide's picture shows the convex side (chamfered side) facing the nut, but the text says the chamfer should face the pulley, which is confusing. If I follow the picture, the chamfer faces the nut, but the instructions say the opposite. When I place the washer on a flat surface, one side looks flatter—maybe that's the concave side—so I would expect the chamfer to be on that side. But it isn’t, which adds to the confusion. The term chamfer is also throwing me off. I always thought the concave side should face the pulley, and the convex side (with the chamfer) should face the nut or bolt head. But Nissan’s instructions say the chamfer should face the pulley, which seems backward. I know I’m probably overthinking it, but I want to be sure I’m doing it right. Also, I’ve seen some people replace the nut and stud with a bolt, but I assume that’s not a good idea, since it might not keep proper tension on the tensioner. Lastly, just to be 100% sure: the pressure washer should face the pulley, then the conical washer? That feels strange, since usually the pressure washer goes first, facing the bolt or nut.
    • I checked, i dont think it was the indicator stalk. The problem just magically fixed itself though. 
    • H1 is not the Humvee, but is the most road based version. Lachlan (HankScorpio) on here has a proper Humvee. He imported it a few years back.
