Ya'know...two posts up is right whether they were serious or joking ?!? Lol couldn't tell.

Anyways, alot of that would actually buff out..and i don't see any panel/bar deformation otherwise a good respray plus blending in won't be much anyways...the shop i goto would charge about $500-600 to do it for me.

Good thing on them leaving their details. I had someone bump park my first car ages ago and no details.. had to pay $400 myself to fix it.

It's now an insurance job. The guy rang last night.

He had his car quoted at the same place as ours and the manager told him how bad ours was.

Could be up to $3K if they replace the rim as well. Going to have it spun up at the local tyre place next week to see if the rim is buckled.

Panel has been pushed in a fair bit.

Just what I needed :P Not!

Had some pr*ck dent my car in secure parking. Left nothing. Went to work in the morning and car is fine. Come back from a shitty day at work and saw it.

I was a road rage machine that arvo.

still havent had it professionally looked at cause with the new job i constantly need my car.

I also got keyed across 3 panels at a shopping centre.

No contact info for either and no CCTV that they would allow me to view. Damn secure parking!

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
