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!

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
