Basically, was going to my car today when I noticed that this happened to my side panel. Any of the Curtin skyliners see anything? I was in P9B (close to education building 501). It appears to have been done with a brick.

I mean, it serves me right for parking a nice car in a carpark... But surely it's not too nice to invoke jealousy? That or I've pissed off someone that I didn't know about. I'm certainly taking the P plates down now.

I was just in the process of buying a 'rolla daily too! Grr.

Anyway, where are the good panel beaters NoR?

This is why I don't bring the GTR to uni and also why I don't drive with P plates up...

Pretty much. I'm actually surprised it could happen to me, I thought I was cautious enough (was my downfall in this case - I park next to kerbs to avoid door slamming - which also makes it easier to damage it intentionally I suppose). Parking office weren't very helpful either (no cameras apparently, and if there were cameras I couldn't see any footage)...

There goes my faith in humanity :blink:.

Damn... BL :blink:

Should park at P26C with me... Get there early enough and there is 4 parallel parking spots...

Panelshops - Advantage Panel and Paint in Osb Park did my previous GTR when I scraped it (doh). Cheap (cashy) and quick.

Oh I'd give it a shot if I wasn't so lazy - my classes are mostly on the other side of the map!

I usually park in a closer, more popular (= more witnesses?) visible spot, but I woke up too late this morning... Expensive sleep in :blink:

I'll call into Advantage tomorrow/wednesday, they do a good job? Might fix my speedbump related scratches while I'm at it :P. Haha.

that's f**king bullshit. I often see your GTR at uni.

I must also add parked well compared to some of the fly in students.

Lol yep, I do try and park properly to avoid assorted damage. Fat lot of good it did me :P

Haha. They did a good job.

Good stuff, thanks dude.

Some shocking drivers at curtin...

That couldnt have been someone slamming a door into your sidepanel could it?

Also, is the guy that drives the 34 GTR on Green Ps on this forum?

His always near me in the carpark near the basketball courts and the child care place... Not a bad car for a p plater :3some:

Nar... I was parked next to a kerb.

Is that a white 34 GTR? I've seen one parked nearby uni before. Didn't see Ps though.

Lol nar, that was me :D

I see a silver 34R every now and then.

Do you ever leave uni? I got there at 8:30 and your GTR was already there and I left at 3 and still there... =/

Lol, thought it might've been :D.

I left this afternoon at like 5pm and that was early :D Got there at 7:30am this morning especially to steal your spot.

I hate doing work at home (my house is almost smaller than my garage, which sucks), so sometimes I go early to get a good park and do some work...

Except tuesday, that's just crappy 8-6 :) .

*edit* Woops, those times did seem weird!

Sucks man! Some people are the true asswipes of society. Just think of them as the bottom feeders. They will end up with teh shit jobs, ugly wives, deadbeat (like father like son) kids and no future.

That's what I like to think of when my car gets broken into or damaged by dickheads. (I've been broken into 4 times and had a brick hurled through a window - so I know what I'm talking about.) lol you think your skyline gets some bad attention! haha try owning my car! lol

Fark 5am..... You coming from Albany lol?

Fair enough. I have a 10am start tomorrow so that carpark will probably be full by the time I get there...

Thursday + Friday off, 4 day weekends ftw.

Dent looks like it "could" be popped out... All the best man.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.

      Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things

      My new to me M35 Stagea wagon

      By davemoto63 · Posted

      Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
