So today I discovered the present I was left presumably from after the dyno day when I stopped for lunch as thats the last time I drove my gtr. I would have been out of my car for no more than 10 minutes but that was all the time the f**king scumbag needed to hit my car and leave without me noticing. The dent isn't too bad really but the paint scrapes they left are my concern. Anyway a picture tells a thousand words so...

the dent is a little hard to see, as I said its not huge.

So I need some recommendations from people who may have used those dent removal services before or whether its something only a panel beater would be able to fix. I'd really like to get it sorted before the dawn cruise.

Cheers,

-Pete.

you can use simple Thinners to remove the paint marks, and a small amount of dry ice to pull out the small dent

are u serious??? thinners, ummmm NO!!! thinners wil remove the clear also, just use a gentle cut n polish to get rid of the paint...

as for the dent i use "adams dents".... look him up as i dont have his number handy, my x gf's black astra convertable has the rear qtr kicked

and this guy got the huge dent n scuffs out without a mark left, i was impressed.. all for under $100 :)

any probs sourcing his number im sure i can chase it up for u... hes mobile also

So just got the car back from Nick with Dentmasters and its perfect.

I wont bother taking a photo because you cant tell that there was a dent there.

He was very easy to deal with too, good bloke.

      Engine Issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Resizing injectors in Nistune can be done a couple of ways, and there are a couple of ways that you can make a mess of it. The tuner needs to be really aware of the effects of whichever approach he uses (either K, or TIM). They are both easy enough to "get the injector size right" to run the engine. But little details like old start enrichment and hot start are affected differently, depending on which boxes you check.

      Pretty safe to say almost everyone that has tuned their own car has experienced this issue. The difference being that we have our laptop in the car and when it happens, it's literally 10 seconds of tuning to sort it.  Would you be happy to plug in your laptop and sort this yourself? It is a very simple process and there is no risk of harming your engine (if you are worried about that).

      Basically your tuner needs to drive it for the 30 min (or whatever) to create the same conditions then check the ECU settings and sensors at that time. They may not be excited to because that takes them 30 min rather than just opening the bonnet and seeing the problem straight away.... Hot start is generally not as tricky as cold start, but there would be a table for fuel enrichment vs coolant temp as a starting point

      Yeah, they all cant say anything for sure as everything is working fine . Said unable to find an issue untill it stops again. Could mist likely be CAS wiring or IAS valve issue but again not 100%
