Well I have to say that I never had a scratch on my XT Forester until I moved here to WA. Now 3 of the 4 doors either have a scatch or small ding from someone opening doors on them in car parks.

So far the R33 GTR has not got any.

Pisses me off as I am so careful when I open my doors that I don't hit the cars parked next to me.

i agree with the lot of you yes i might have a old VL commodore but it has imaculate paint and its from factory. the poor old bloke before i got it never took it out of the garage then i have it a year and it has a big scrape on the bonnet which i need to fix and a scratch on the front bumper from dumb ass in a parking lot that of hit it with a pram or something.

when you get into any ofmy cars i make my friends tap their feet clean and when they put bags in the car they d not put them in the front so it scratches the dash etc.

Same here in NSW.

XT Foz attracts "Inconsiderates" to bump into, lean on and scrubbing from drivers that pull out from the kerb without looking.

GTR goes out to places where I can watch it or else I just drive it without stopping till I get home.

People who go to the trouble of installing CCTV should advertise that footage is F/S to those who have had damage done to themselves or to their cars.

There's this guy I know.. Crazy about his car. It's funny cause I always purposley rub his seats when getting in and out to wear them out prematurely, also always make sure my shoes are covered in dirt

i do that as well rohan. normally i pick my nose and hide treasure under his seat and steering wheel, think we might be talking bout the same guy :whistling:

I thought the last time i was in the car that the treasure mountain under the seat had grown without my help. nice one.

That sucks man! I feel your pain. One of the ladies at work locked her keys in her car and got RAC to get into the car to get the keys, when the RAC guy got into the car he opened her door right into my drivers side door. Leaves a nice mark when her car is white and mine is black. Was able to polish most of it out.

But then about 3 weeks later someone at work or the gym opened thier door into my car, took the paint all the way down to the primer! :angry:

i was at a blokes house the other week doing a job.. noticed he had a new aston dbs (or db9, they all look the same to me) in the garage.. started talking to him about it.. he told me it was his daily driver

i said the obvious thing about avoiding carparks, etc.. and he told me already he's had some bitch in a hundi swing her door into it!

people are fkn retards

Greater union in innaloo or whatever its called now.

Amount of times I have come out of movies and seen people sitting/leaning on my car....

* stab stab stab *

Yeah. I saw something similar last week.

I was driving back home on Albany Hwy (WA). At one of the bus stop on the side of the road, there was this good-looking clean Toyota Mark II (Or Toyota Chaser, I am not too sure) parked at the back of it. Then, there was a group of girls (I won't say what kind of people, but most of us probably know already. :P ) and 2 of them sat down on that car hood (1 of them was fat!).

I felt so sorry for the car and its owner. I would never ever park near the bus stops again. :devil:

It is simple guys... if you see someone in a car park do this then takes photo's and ask them for their insurance details as it is damge to your property that they need to fix...

if they refuse to give details then let them know that you will be filling out an accident report in which they left the scene of the accident and will be charged accordinly :) it work for me to get my door completely re-sprayed when a stupid women got out of her soccer mum 4x4... and let me say her husband was not impressed she admitted it so easily :)

Alot of carparks are private property, can be really hard to claim against someone else (police normally won't do reports). what you will normally find is you still have to pay an excess and you will lose your no claim bonus.

you are correct most car parls are privately owned... but willful damage to another persons property does not matter where you are :) and i can tell you now they will report you if you do the same back to their car... i never take anything laying down or without a fight, dont make it easy for halfwit's to get away with damage to your pride and joy is all i am saying, otherwise it will happen to the next person they park next to.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
