Hi guts.

Taxi driver reversed and hit my front left side.

Lots if scratches including light.

Going trough insurance. Just wondering if anyone knows a good reparer in Perth.

Thanx

Alem

Oh no, Alem. Not another V. :(

How bad is it? Photos would help, mate.

What insurance are you with? I am with HBF now. When I got hit at the back by L-plater 2 years ago, I went to Uneeda Smash Repair.

They did a great job for me. You could try giving them a call. Let me know if you need anything.

Good luck, Alem.

Good luck with the repairs, hope it doesn't get stuck at the workshop too long.

I am afraid it will be stuck for longer than usual as around Christmas/New Year is the worst time to chase up parts and people.

My accident was also around this time 2 years ago, and I only got back the car in early February. :(

hey mate you could go to instyle customs in bibra lake get my stuff done there and ruben does a good job. they won best custom paint at auto salon i belive too

Yeah, that green silvia won it. They seem like a good place for paint.

Do it.

Get them to do a custom paintjob whilst your at it, because your car has "a unique paint code which was custom mixed, and cannot simply be patched."

It'd be awesome if that worked :(

I don't know how hard paint matching the silver colour is, but my pearl white looks ok. After a month or two in the sun, wash and use of clay bar, can't really tell the difference that easily.

Alem, FYI. Here's most of the paint codes/colours. Good luck.

    • Saw this video today from Adam LZ.    Long story short is he is claiming that the load from the engine fan once the fan clutch heats up(engaged) is increasing the getrag rattle(at idle) when you don't have a dual mass flywheel.  Before I go buying an electric fan setup .... Anyone heard of this ?    I must admit when my car is cold the getrag is pretty quiet and I do notice the rattle after it is all warmed up. I've always assumed this is due to the gearbox oil temp and tolerances of metal.       
    • Yep it sure does.   Tone wheel lines up in the same spot perfectly.    
    • Something I meant to say when we were chatting the other night about having an open trailer floor being great to work on a car, but you've never used the feature... It's a great place to park a car after doing suspension component changes, and do the tightening of all the bushes with the car sitting at full ride height. Especially when you don't have a 4 post hoist!
    • That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.
    • So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
