Hi guys,

Had an accident on Friday. Rear ended some lady. Her toe ball went right through my bumper.

Just wondering if anyone knows any good panel repairers in Brisbane. Im located South Side, so anything close would be good.

Or if anyone knows or is selling a front bumper.

From the looks of things, it seems i just need a new front bumper. So im tossing up between going through my insurance (Shannons $500 excess) or getting quotes to see if its cheaper to get it repaired (if possible) or try source a 2nd hand bumper.

I use to get my panels repairs at CDR Paint and Panel at Archerfield, but they have advised me that they have just closed down :(

Cheers guys

So no damage to her car at all?

If not i suggest a local job instead of insurance. You'll find a bumper repair is about 400-500 anyway so mo point.

From what i could tell, she already had existing damage to her rear bar. And i didnt hit her that hard. Im pretty sure it was just my bumper that got wrecked.

If I were you I would grab one of the best bars ever made for V35s :) .... can do one delivered to your door in Brisbane for $1k. And since they are urethane you can scrape and bend them and they pop right back into shape.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
