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've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
