Not Fair!

Guest Diabolik1

Tonight...i parked my car at my local mall to buy a packet of chewies, and 2 mins later when i got back to my car, it had a SERIOUS series of scratches and dents on the left rear side !!!

Someone was either reversing out, or getting into the spot next to me, and clipped my car....and of course ran off !!

so now, i have rough, dented, scratched left rear side....the bumper has only one or two minor scratches, but the actual body of the car is fu(ked !!!!!

I know Vision in Artamon is pretty good....and i dont know how they are with price, but can anyone suggest a nice cheap place to get this fixed?

I honestly dont think its a lot of work, since the dents arent too big, but its mainly the scratches and well...trying to get that part of the car to fit with the rest of the car color wise....

any help would be greatly appreciated

Angry and Saddened,

Goran

That upsets me so much. I know how you feel. I got hit once in the carpark of my gym too. i cam out and my whole passenger door was dented in. Worse of all it looked like some idiot couldnt drive at all. They must of been reversing real quick to hit my door like that.

It cost me 800 dollars to repair something minor. Because some idiot wasnt honest.

Some people need to learn how to drive. Its those old mothers and fathers who are always alseep when they drive. Drive like old farts they do and never watch what they do either.

Goran,

Vision are very good, they did some spray work on my car, they have also fixed Merlis car and Cereal_Jacques skyline when they had accident damage and done a pretty good job.

If the scratches will buff out there is a change a dent removalist can get rid of the dings.... best bet is to take it to vision and let Jerry tell you whats involved.

Very sorry to hear about that.... thats some bad luck.....

Nick

what happened??? my cousin paid $3500 for that offence and got suspended for 3years

my mate lost his license for going 60 over the spead limit. the following week he was caught with no license. he received a $1000 fine and a one years suspension. i think it all has to do with the lawyer and how good he/she is.

Well no fine as yet... he was going to take me back to the station but i talked my way out of it and got him to give me the fine on the spot. i have to go to court for that soon so i will see what they do to me:( bastard coppas:p .

It was pretty dumb i was driving in the city about 2 am and decided to go and check out some skylines out on parramatta rd and when i go to george st and headed toward broadway saw a big breath test station outside Big Boys Toys (accross from UTS). i knew i also had no liscence on me and i was walking into a death trap so i turned left into this little street before the station and to my luck it was a dead end... the next thing i knew is that there were 4 highway patrol cars that came screaming around the corner and blocked me in... then all the questions came and i ended up leaving about 4 am! Dont really matter though cause i got no liscence anyway once i pay the stack of fines off at home just another hundred bucks or so...

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
