So i went to catch up with my mate down at the bay,

he has started his own practice so it was called for. Park my car along the esplanade where he lives as my car is unable to conquer the ridiculously steep driveway though my car is not slammed. Just had my baby washed on the weekend so everything is sparkling...including the nice dent some motherless f**k decided to put on the passenger side door. Looks like a kick, but so f**king annoying that my blemish free car is now tainted :rant:

I'll never know who or why, but in the off chance i do...enuf said!

Sorry to hear your incident, Dames. I wish that motherless f**k get f**ked in the a** so hard it will look tainted forever.

On the good side though, it's not keyed.

Good luck with fixing it.

Yes, you might be able to get a good dent remover to make it look perfect > then polish the scratches

Thats what im hoping for, not too keen on losing it for a week at a crash repairer though thankfully if i do need to go down that route my mates wife works for Eblen Subaru and they'll do a flawless job.

Well its appears worse then i thought...

the general assesment from 2 independent quotes was new passenger door, paint the whole left hand side of car and even more disturbingly 1 week in a Suzuki Swift haha. Amazing how minor things can seem to the untrained eye.

Really that bad? :( Sorry to hear that.

Would you be able to post up a photo of the damage?

Got everything assessed today, just a touch shy of $3k and 3 pages full of things to be done!

Here are some pics, shes tainted :(

That's bad. :(

Looks like the paint will crack when the dent is pulled out and flattened. So the whole door will need to be re-painted.

Sorry to hear about the damage again. No matter how much we take care of our pride-and-joy, these things can still happen. Hope you get this fixed and back to its original state.

Its a full blown crash repairer, Eblen Subaru.

Basically the cost involves brand new door from Nissan, spray the whole side of the car and removing/fitting everything including rear windscreen. The guy said it will be a factory type arrangement, no bodgey jobs cos its practically a new car.

True.

I also forgot to mention it will be hard to paint-match the front and rear fenders to the door. But if you get the whole side re-painted, it should be fine.

How much is your excess, if you don't mind me asking?

Excess is only $400 from JustCars,

i gotta say i highly recommend them. Loads of people ummed and erred at the very mention of their name, but they were great thus far and even asked me which my preferred repairer was as opposed to we want you to take it to <blah>.

That's a really good deal, Dames.

I think I paid about AU$700 in excess with HBF when I scratched my rear fender about two years ago. But I was under 25 years old back then, so it was expensive.

Well, good luck with the repair.

      Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Duncan · Posted

      I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
