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.

I'm starting to see some pattern here... :whistling:

    • 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.
    • So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them
    • I also had 2 bulbs blow at once, years ago in the stagea. made for a fun drive home. The issue was the voltage regulator had failed in the alternator and it was giving 15+ volts. Really, I was lucky all that was fried were the headlight bulbs. So, I'd suggest you check the voltage across your battery terminals with the car running and warmed up. Yes, you will need a multimeter to do so, sorry.
    • Good work to think to check that, and thanks for coming back to post up the outcome.
