Elle did you order any extra nismo options.?

Not at the moment , don't even know what color are available and when they are coming to Australia , no price mention and no-release date. Paid few $$$$ down payment every month.post-139458-14656478158291_thumb.jpg

I can't imagine handing over money for a car when I don't know colour or when it will be released. Especially when you already have one

Unfortunately It's not a win win situation.

Had to pay some amount of money before they can order it. They want a confirmation and I want more powahhhh , yes I know it's similar but it's not the same [emoji28] Oh plus the new version ( NISMO ) came with titanium tip exhaust !

Yea I'm ok. I couldn't avoid it cause one car behind me and one to my left. I slowed to about 80kms but still.

Tonkin between great eastern exit and collier exit. Damn ladder was open and sliding from left lane to the right. Whoever the f**ker is I hope karma gets him

Yeah my first too, a freaking ladder lol, never thought I'd run into one on the fwy. There's a hole in the bumper now, hopefully the insurers are gonna replace it and not do a patch job or it....I'd be royally pissed.

Basically I was driving on the right most lane and going past cars and suddenly all the cars on other lanes infront of me were jam braking so I thought maybe cop but I was at the limit and they were slower so couldn't be. So I braked lightly since there was a car behind me....and here comes a ladder, opened sliding across the fwy....decided to jam brake at this point since the car behind me would have seen me slowing down already and also if I didn't I would have probably hit is just as it was coming into the lane and either a) I would drive over it and do more damage to my car or b) it would bounce of my car and hit the car next to me on the left and continue bouncing back n forth. So yea, braked enough so I wouldn't get rear ended and just enough that it would just bounce to the divider.

Jeez....hate people...why can't you secure your shit properly...

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
