After 6 wonderful days of owing my Stagea already been had a bit of a bingle. Car was hit from the back while I was at a red light. I've got full comprehensive insurance and can so take the car to my choice of repairer.

Any way tossing up between 2 repairers (that I found on the forum). Jack Hillermans in Artarmon OR California smash repairers in Botany. I've done the usual searches but only found 1 reference to the two. Talking to the two they say the same thing, they need to book the car in and get it assessed before they can give me a quote on time (going to be a long time for parts??). Speaking to NRMA they can either choose their own repairer or I can nominate one.

So who to go to? Any suggestions on repairers?

If you dont have your own known and trusted place id go to the insurer's repairer if convenient.

that way any issues have easy and fully ability for recourse.

references through mates 'who say they are awesome' or even on this forum should be treated sceptically at all times if you ask me...

I'm going to get the assesor to see what repairer they suggest. I'm trying to get this shit done right. The only thing is that it might take time for the parts required to show up and I really don't want to be car less for too long of a time.

Zei20l thanks for the offer on the parts will keep it in mind. The car was hit on the left hand side so the taillight and bumper bar have taken the hit. When its taken in for assesment then will get a better idea.

Put up a pic of the damage here and in parts. You may source the parts yourself. I did that for a rear ender and supplied the bar which cost me $100 and it saved my $500 excess.:rofl2:

the good thing is he isnt at fault, so insurance will take care of everything.

im just trying to assist with speedy repairs, and something else could potentially be removed from my garage :P

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
