So my mate is driving my, then mint, R33. Going for a nice cruise and spun out on a roundabout. He caught it well but not well enough, ended in a barrier. When we assessed the damage its not too horrible, the rear right panel is badly dinted and it stops just after the wheel arch, nothing on the door and just a small scratch on the front right panel.

Will post a pic later.

Just wondering if anybody has a recommended panel beaters as I don't know any myself. As far as the car goes mechanically it seems to be running fine, the wheels are straight and the only real damage I could think of would be the fuel tank? Any help would be appreciated want my baby back on the road asap haha.

Thanks.

My mate was driving because I was trying to be responsible and not drive (Suspended license). Lesson learnt.

Thank you, I will check these places out today.

Anyway here's a photo.

Lol nah that's the s15 from jdmst that tried being a sick flamin mongrel. He sick flamin mongreled himself into a cafe wall lmao

That's the one ;)

Wonder what happened to him, didn't the cops end up getting involved? Such a troll, acting out on a meet.

Nah he's just copping a punch to the wallet, went and got a quote, $1800 they said.

Haha he was in tears, I just couldn't help but laugh.

And yeah not too bad, just a spray painter friend said it might be more around the $4000 mark, which had me a bit stressed.

Rear bar replace/repair

Rear bar reo (maybe)

Dent remove & fill rear 1/4 where all the damage is (looks like it goes further that the pic shows)

Tail light surround/mount (maybe)

Paint/Blend down the door/boot/rear bar/wing/tail light surround/1/4 panel

People seem to think bodywork costs nothing but you run a shop @ $80/hr labour you'll easily see $600 (7.5hrs and that's disassemble, repair, prep, paint, assemble etc) before you even buy any parts or add in consumables etc :)

$1800 sounds reasonable for all of the above really. I'd be expecting over 2k as a starting point.

Bro my cuzzin could fix that in his backyard for $400 and a slab of woodstock.

If you want it to look like a car after its fixed though, take it to a reputable shop with a good track record with skylines and paint.

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
