Hi guys. Bad news for me. I turned across 2 lanes of stopped traffic and just as I began to cross the 3rd a motorcyclist came into view. It was too late to stop so I punched it to try to miss him and due to the rain he couldn't stop in time and slammed into my rear 1/4 panel. I was meant to insure when I registered the car at christmas time, but due to the mad rush of the time of year, it passed my mind. Unfortunately, I am just remembering now...when I need it. So I guess I'm left to do the repairs myself. I've done a bit of searching for parts, but it is proving quite difficult. Anyone know where I could source a rear bar and AR-X flares (among other things). Anybody know good yet lower cost repairers in Sydney. I'll probably give it a hit doing a large amount of the work myself as I gotta keep cost low as poss seeing that I gotta pay for somebodies bike aswell. :/

And how is the motorcyclist you hit?

Alive, able to walk, in pain?

Yes what happened to the bike rider??

Sucks about the car though, once fixed please get insurance. Never know when youll need it.

There are flares on ebay man. Sorry cant link on phone. Think there is a rear bar aswell. Good thing its the tv tuner side and not attessa side . Not that its good what happened

Thanks Josh. Not sure if they're the same (AR-X) but i'l look into it.

I've got a dolphin freeway rear bar in my garage doiing f*ck all!, no front bar and i can't find one so if u want it i'll let it go for what i paid for it PM if ur keen

that is a rear quarter panel at a start. parts are easy via nissan local. if your local dealer won't help I can put you in touch with one that will or I can help you myself.

rear bumper is fine. that will heat and repair easily.

radio is fixed btw.

Have you looked on Yahoo Japan? Pretty sure I saw one on Monday.

Maybe get one ordered from Dolphin if you like the kit? I'm pretty sure they'd have a Dolphin front bar...

been e-mailing dolphin japan and brother inlaw as well (works @ just jap) and had no reply =(, but yahoo japan i'll have to check that out.

at the end of the day its a daily driver and i'm not real keen on big body kits i'd rather factory kits, thats y its sat in the garage for bout 6months

but it'd be happy to let it go as i'd rather the cash to go towards coil overs

I emailed Dolphin, no reply. I got Jesse Streeter to get in touch with them for me and got a reply within a day or so.

That said, the bonnets are discontinued, not sure if the other body parts they did are also discontinued? Worth checking out.

looks like only the quarter was affected, maybe some of the stuff behind the panel, there isnt much space in there

this is why you should at LEAST put 3rd party insurance on a car, what if you hit a $600,000 ferrari? youd have to leave the country lol

ha. Yea i.de have to leave on a boat. I applied online for justcar insurance today. Waiting for them to get back to me. Yes the police came. Only took them 5 mins in heavy traffic.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
