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.

      Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3

      It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
