Hello,

I got some damage to the back of my car. I've attached some images.

I just want to know what kind of prices im looking at to repair it or otherwise whats the price range for replacement?

I got some people telling me I need a panel beater? How much is that? I have no idea.

Panelbeater can easily repair that with a bit of heat it'd pop right out. Unfortunately you will also need to pay to repaint, prob cost you $400-500 all up.

I had that damage, plus some on rear quarter, cost $500 to fix up.

The rear bar is plastic you can just heat it up with a hair dryer and pop it right out! my mate did it with his rear bar, then take it down to a panel shop respray should cost you around $400 or less if your supplying the paint.

Step

1) Remove the bar, because if you need the panelbeater, there'll be less labour cost

2) Check the metal Reo-bar behind to see if it's damaged at the edge

3) Heat up the damaged area on both sides and its surrounds, because the molecules in the plastic are aligned and form a 'memory' to go back the way they were before

4) If that doesn't work completely, the panelbeater has a hot bath to immerse that section

5) Repaint the bar with it already removed will cost $325-450 as stated above. Repainting the front bar (already removed) might cost just a bit more while you're at it.

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
