some cheap bastard has hit my car while it was parked in a carpark and nothing, no note, nothing. i am so annoyed :D

the dent is in the right rear quarter panel and is about 20cm in size, there is white paint and scratches down to the metal across the wheel guard and the dent itself!

anyone know of a good panelbeater in perth (preferably near Mt Lawley etc) that does good work and doesn't rip you off?

so unhappy about it, there is no way my insurance would cover it and i don't want to lose my no claims bonus or pay the huge excess.

cheers for any assistance.

i mean sure in that sit. i would be kicking myself but i would bite the bullet and leave my details.

:) i think its going to be expensive cos a couple of the scratches are down to the metal.

Bit of a cheap shot on the chicks there MirKz. Plenty of guys a just as shite and prolly more likely to drive off without leaving a note.

Very common problem though....I had a similar experience with my AE86 sprinter. That cost me a cool grand to fix. It was a damn good hit for a carpark jobby.

well i just got a quote from a place in West Perth that is on my insurance providers list of recommended repairers... $1,000-$1,500!!! :cheers: my excess is $650 and then i would lose my no claims...

funny tho.. the guy was looking my car over and said he knew the girl that owns R33 4ME hehe

its going to take even longer to get my mags now... i hope the person who did it gets their karma.

i had someone do that to me aswell, does the 1/4 panel need to be replaced or repaired,

check the pick of my car, this happened while waiting for my pizza to be cooked,  

an expensive pizza i can tell ya  

repaired and resprayed. there are a few scratches down the door also and i was told they couldn't be buffed out and so the whole side of my car would need respraying!

the dent in my rear quarter is almost exactly like the one behind the arch in yours but more white paint (on a black car) :(

still so upset about this. going to look for more quotes today

well trouble is surface rust is setting in where it has gone down to the metal :rofl:

got one quote from West Perth Panel & Paint for $1000 before GST! to 'do it properly' and one from Wark & Wainright in Subiaco for $369 inc GST! dunno whether one is dodgy or the other is over charging lol. need to get some reliable quotes and get it fixed as soon as i can afford it.

Listen buddy - forget that quote for $369 thats will be a crap job for sure.

Its time to bite the bullet buddy - do it once do it properly

Go to NOVA smash repairs in West Perth - they just did my mate STi and it came up plum ....... you need to except the fact that its gona cost you 1000 + bucks to get done peoperly... so go ahead and do it.

Especially with a black car if you dont do it properly it will stand out like dogs balls.

well i got another quote from a place recommended to me by a SAU member for $300 for the repair and respray and $250 to remove the GT badges and weld and respray. this makes me think that the west perth place was overquoting me but now i am unsure, i want a good job done but i don't want to get ripped off.

the dent should be easy enough to knock out and there are no creases but it definately needs a respray on the quarter panel.

any thoughts? :)

cheers for all the comments and advice btw

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
