That's the one.

They fixed my Girlfriends 99 VW Golf. the work was absolutly perfect.

I have plenty of fixed done on plenty of cars, and every time I have had to take the car back for this or that, and Amex have been the only time that the repair was right first time.

I'd recommend them.

BASS OUT

i live in werribee but work in brunswick, so n e where around that area, im at work at the min ill give them a call a bit later on!

but if amex is good i wanna go there coz apparently my paint has 10 layers, so i wanna get it right.

i was talking to my mate he rekons just ring him up and threaten him that i will kill his cats and dogs if he doesn't pay lol...

or just write a fake letter up saying im a solisitor and shit but i think ausclaim or amex is the way to go! :sadam:

Don't even think about threatening him or sending false documents.

In a situation where it could end up (not likely though) in a legal battle, any false documents or things like that will work against you hard core.

Brunswik aint far from heidleberg

Just take it there

Yeah most debt collectors etc are free for the first phonecall, letter etc etc...you only get charged if it makes it to court, which if they're smart won't let it get that far.

It's also great for companies that fail to pay, cause once you 've got a court appointment against your name, it becomes publically listed and goes against the company...that's why for some reason they never let it get that far :)

just dont threaten him in writing.. lolz.

Just be reasonable, but blunt.

I had the same drama when i was cut off at a roundabout. My car was damaged and he was to blame, and he didnt pay me for 3 months. He was in the wrong and his insurance company made all attempts to not hand over the money, but i got Battley & Co. Solicitors onto them and what happend? they coughed up the mula! Only after a few letters to AAMI and the dude that caused the whole shit..It didnt cost me a cent, it was all through my panel beaters.

Theres something about lawyers that just do the trick..

Goodluck bro

yeah neither the owner or the driver have insurance!!! so its all dodgy im just gunna take it too Amex n they can do all the running around, evan tho it costs more he shouldnt have been dodgy from the start!

originally he wanted to fix and paint the car him self but i told him fu(k that!

im getting it done professionally... i told him he could buy the parts and ill get em painted and fitted for the cheapest possible price but he was dodgy about that so im gunna hit him up for the cash big time now!

here are some pics of my car i took these this morning when i got to work...

whats damaged is

-Middle Front bumper

-front right bumper

-front middle & right bumper mould

-bumper support

-head light

- front grill pushed in so it needs re-spraying :jawa:

Okay.

So it looks ot me like you will need:

New front bumper.

Grill.

Eyebrow thinigies

Two headlights (as they replace both at a good panel beaters because the ohter one will be a different colour otherwise.

Indicator.

Your quarter panel will be sctratched from the front bar hitting it.

You've got a repair bill there of about 2 or 3 grand.

Remove and Refit 6 seperate items.

Prepare quarter panel, front of bonnet and all around frontal area in frotnn of bonnet and around bumper.

Colour blend to match rest of car and oven bake.

There's no way he could have come close to fixing it himself.

BASS OUT

Should also puch for a full polish all over the car otherwise it will be easy to tell that the car has just been fixed on the front.

I always push for that, because you want your car to age at the same rate all over the car.

yeah and im going to try and get them to add to the bill to fix my dint on the other side of my car that someone did when i was parked at KFC in coburg you can hardly notice it but the thing is I CAN!!!

so what do u think of my car appart from the damage? its a good sleeper coz no one expect's it can go fast

You could try with the dint.

Maybe you might have to give the panel beaters a little bit more money to do it.

But if you speak to them nicely then maybe.

Maybe you could prepare the dint for spraying to save yourself some money either way.

Any sleeper is a good sleeper. I like the sleeper idea, but it's a bit hard to pull off in my car!

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
