Need Licensed Smash Repairer Consultation In Fairfield West!


Recommended Posts

Anyone who works for or owns a licensed smash repairer who can swing by my place in Fairfield West 2165 to give me a consultation on how to go about fixing it to industry standards? This is for my stat write off R34 with front end damage and I'm looking to have it repaired and reregoed. Any help would be highly appreciated :)

and NO, stat write offs CAN be re-registered and this has already been clarified by the RTA/RMS so this will not be a topic to debate.

Never mind. Just found out it cannot be done since it is within 15 years old. Kind of stupid actually how you can repair a car that is older rather than newer. People who make these laws and legislation have no common sense.

Wrecking time!

Yeah I was thinking of leaving it till next year, but not gona bother fighting for it anymore. My insurance didn't give me any salvage rights and I had to auction it back and apparently after buying it back from a 3rd party, it's no longer eligible for a Repair Authorization.

    • R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to?  I'm not really sure what you're saying. 
    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
