My skyline has been banged up the rear


Recommended Posts

Ohh. I am so frustrated my beautiful car has been rear ended on the weekend..

I was just starting to move after the traffic had slowed down, minding my business and BANG this guy rams into me at about 70 km/h..

I have been recommended to go to a couple of NRMA preferred repairers.

Could anyone in Sydney please let me know if they have used any of these repairers and let me know if they were good or not.

Premier Panel Beating (greenacre)

Cols Body Shop (west ryde)

Adams Smash Repair (kirrawee)

Thanks

yea i don't think you would have walked away from that without any injuries anyway, up the back, side, or front. 70km/h is pretty fast (a fast speed to be bealted from i mean). If there were any cars infront of you, you probably would have been sent ploughing into them if you got hit by a car goin 70km/h

damn, 70km/h, i hope your not too banged up because the car would be a mess after being hit at that speed, bad luck man...

my mum got hit today by a garbage truck not looking where its going (only at very low speeds) and it left enough damage to the side of her car, so i can only begin to imagine sights of cars hit by others going 60km/h plus, i feel for you... good luck with repairs

Hi everyone, thanks for the replies, yes I am ok, except I did have a bit of a sore neck aftward but it feels fine now.

I had just taken off so I was probably doing about 10km/h at the point of impact meaning closing speed was around 60km/h but yes my car is pretty mangled. Spare tyre is sitting up higher so I'm guessing the whole panel underneath is bent and needs replacing. BTW, I didnt hit the car in front.

Anyone used Premier Panelbeating? Looks like I might go there..

If the tyre is sitting up higher might that not indicate possible chassis damage? Happened to my brother's Mazda a few years ago and they wrote the bastard off. I swear it could have been fixed..it was a good little car too.

Man, being hit at 70km/hr .... your chassis is gone buddy. I don't even need to see it to tell you that, has the NRMA dude inspected your car yet? Have you considered that this level of damage might mean it's a write-off?

Vision Smash in Artarmon just did mine and they do NRMA I'm pretty sure.  Car looks great and Harry really looked after me.

lol dude my r33 is in there now... taking its time. cant wait to get it back.

Harrys a champ he fix u up for sure. but they arnt an nrma approved repairer, jack hildermans in artarmon are really good as well.

Nah I didnt consider it could be a write off... Damn, you might be right if they have to do chassis work it might write it off.. Hope not I love my car.

If you were hit at 60/70km/h your spare tyre wouldn't just be "sitting up higher"... The impact speed was probably a LOT less than what you think...

Sure felt like 100 ks an hour but I know what you mean. I only say 70km/h because thats the speed limit of the road and it was open, and there was no skid marks and I didnt hear any skidding before hand just a Massive CRUNCH and then I put the brakes on again cause I was going to hit the car in front..

NJ: Get your necked checked out (if you haven't already). I have heard of far too many cases where people have a sore neck, that is then "better" a day or two latter, only to later find they have serious damage to the top of the spine.

Sorry to hear about the car :P

LW.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
