Hey guys, you might recall my previous post "Just got my new skyline".

Anyways, the car has been nothing other than great, i've been loving the fresh paint work and how it runs!

Yesterday some weak jealous f*&k head keyed my car (drivers side) for no reason - right down to the bare metal.

Has anybody had their car keyed? How much did it cost to get it fixed? And what was the result like?

Thanks for the comments.

And i hope the tossers get theirs back in a big way.

I had a kid on a bike ride into the side of mine when i was parked at a mates, did two 5 inch scratches, one at the rear and the other over the door and front right panel (Bounced twice into it).

Got a quote - for getting the whole side of the car resprayed

$800-900

I hate kids

I got the front of my bonnet key with the F word on it, I got my frontbar repainted and bonnnet done just under $400 , did it through a company called wizard smash repair, he done it cheap i think becuase im a forum member on boost cruising.

He done a great job with paint matching. I'll be going 2 see him soon again, after i mange to but a nice scratch in my frontbar.. :-(

What i found is that most quotes for my frontbar and bonnet were about $600 to $700.

I've had my car just over a year, and I have had 1 tyre slashed, my car spat on twice whilst i was driving. F-word keyed into my bonnet. Screws put under tyres about 4 times, I've gone through a hole set of tyres due to screws and being slashed.

So i now try and park my car in sight @ all times.

I live in wynnum and I seem to be picked on alot, but i think alot of other cars get it done 2. Just jelauos bored kids with nothing better 2 do than be destructive.

whoa dude.

stick a camera up or something, thats rediculous

Madtrang, that's crazy dood - i feel your pain. Something has to be done, ass whoopings need to be handed out! Im going to get a new car alarm with microwave sensors and see how that goes, i know it will give allot of false alarms, but i can happily put up with that rather than have the car ****ed up again.

That sounds very personal dude, who's toes have you stepped on?

Yeah its shit like this that makes me feel better about going an r32 gtr.. more understated. I feel sorry for all you guys.

Man if I caught somebody doing that to my car, It would almost be worth it-because of what I would do to him. :cheers:

someone keyed my last car .. before the act, it was a beautiful black car, which I cared for a lot and loved. afterwards, it felt tainted and I was so upset I couldn't even stand to look at it.

i hate the people who debadge and key people's cars. it is cheap, vile, and the lowest of all destructive acts towards cars, because it means absolutly nothing. whether it's because of jealousy or whatever else, I hate these people, and I don't use the word 'hate' lightly. :rant:

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
