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.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
