If the cops dont play ball i'm sure there will be some sympathetic SAU members who live nearby who will be more than willing to come for a visit to their apartment....

If not go talk to the parents in person. Take some friends who weigh 150kg's. :D

keying cars honest to god has to be one of the lowest things you could do you hear people bitch  (understandably) about their gt-r badge getting stolen which costs like $40 maybe a bit more  

FYI a brand new R33 GTR badge costs $90 from Nissan. The R32 badge costs $130!

Hahahah i have to laugh, 4 days after all this happens i drop my car off to mechanics for a service and leave it the day. Pick it up in the arvo and find a big scratch on lower back right hand corner, with yellow paint all over it. looks like someone has backed over a small post with it, hasn't dented the bumper though.

I know for a fact it wasn't there before i dropped it off cause i was showing people the kids handiwork just before, however mech denies it and says it musta been there when it was dropped off. This week just getting worse.

Apparently the scratch work can't be repaired cause its too deep so my entire car needs to be resprayed.....so over it all

There's no way I would be letting that slide. And that's a fact.

I've learnt many evil things from movies and Quintin Tarentino is one of the best...

"get some homies around around and pull these little f##kers apart with pliers and a blow torch"

I find that I am seriously paranoid about taking my car anywhere where it could have some jelous wanker damage it. I usually drive my VL bombadore when I have to park in public or outside overnight, that way if it gets scratched I'd be stoked - A new paint job would be worth way more than the car, it would get written off and I'd get the insurance. LOL.

Like has been already said, it would almost be worth it if you could catch them and make them "pay".

Has anyone seen that movie "Seven".

  • 2 weeks later...

Okies, got my quote of $5500 to respray the car the same colour (without the front bumper or rear bumper a grand extra for both them)

2 questions. Does anyone know what sort of price i would be looking at to get the car repsrayed an the colour changed?? And also does anyone know a good/cheap body shop in sydney metro to get it done (note: i don't want it cheap and nasty, just some people who can do a good job and aren';t rip offs).

Still haven't heard whats happening with the kids, or if i'm gonna get it paid for. The mechanic i haven't talked to yet either.

Think i'll wait till the new year/

cheers boyz. If i can get a new colour for about the same price or just a little more than i'll be definitely doing that...maybe a nice blue :D

I thought that seemed a little bit high. I'll talk to fibremotive and maybe another few decent paint shops.

Also i'm gonna definitely move asap before i get it resprayed as i don't want to tempt them to do it again.

Have a great chrissy and new year everyone, thanks for the help and listening to me whinge :kick:

cheers

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
