Insurance?

Only third party I'm afraid. Just Jpa didn't give me the option of paying the 3 grand full comp off on a monthly basis, so paid the $450-ish third party all in one go.

look into buying a new bonnet first as it may well turn out a bunch cheaper than painting it

Really? I've never seen anyone selling a pearl black bonnet though...

dont bother mate...if you are worried about those stone chips just touch them up with a black pen or even some nail polish.....we do it when you come back maybe..

i think it may of had black wax in them...you get it at supercheap....turtle wax comes in a range of colours...

its not worth respraying or buying a new one..save cash for better things in life....;)

Someone keyed my bonnet while the car was sitting just in my sister's driveway tonight. Probably some drunk lowlifes at the party next door. On the upside, now I have more motivation to fix the paint chips in the bonnet. :(

oh..just saw this.....motherf**kers.. \

you're bringing it around in a week or 2 anyway yeah, I have some paint left, might be enough to patch it up..wont be enough to respray the whole bonnet though but I can do that if you want.....I dare say it will be cheaper than buying new bonnet and new paint will look better than a second hand bonnet anyway ;)

#@ARTZ Message me how much you think it will cost, I have crappy pics I can send you, but the scratches cover almost the same area the paint chips do; that is, they're in the same place, pretty much.

pix me...will be about same price as a cheap second hand bonnet....which would only have stone chips in it anyway...plus guarenteed no swirls with new paint ;)

Hopefully we have enough paint left to fix it so don't have to buy more..

Tis why you don't have yourself as listed driver, then pay excess for unlisted driver which is usually less anyhow. It was for the 4 door. RS will probably be insured just under my name though cus even full comp is still <1k. Dem aus del feels.

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
