Hi Guys,

On the weekend I had some punk hit me in the ass in a Rodeo.... I was at a complete stop 6 deep in traffic and luckily had just got of the break to take off when this 19 year old forgot to look where he was going.

No structural damage just the paint on the rear bumper has been mashed a little with a few cracks and the smudging of his number plate leaving a little maroon over the panel.

I have a 260RS Series 1 which looks white or silver depending on what light your in. If anyone knows what the paint code/type is for this I need to get some quotes for repair. If you know anyone who is capable of fixing this in the Brisbane area let me know.

There are some pics of my car in this album linked below if the colour isn't familiar. Super fine hardcoat is about all I know at this stage.

If your car has not been repainted the factory paint codes are on the build plate below the chassis number and model number e.g. mine is DR2 green metallic.

You can probably find it here (change the year in step 1 if yours is not a 97):

The AUTECH 260RS versions all had custom paint resprays after being released as C34's from factory... I can't find anything online on what the codes where, I'll check the build plates to see if anything is there.

Going to ring JustCars to see what they have to say, the guy was insured with Suncorp but there is no chance in hell I'll be using any of there cheap recommended repairers.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
