Hey Guys,

Well it was going to happen eventually. Some girl with a lack of driving skill and an an affinty for crying decided to rear end my skyline while I was sitting at the lights.

Now I have to find a good smash repairer could anyone recommend one around the Ringwood area?

Thanks Guys

not good to hear man hope you find a good place i can recomend a place called roadys near the funtree gully station hes relly good and is a family friend so if you want i can get he number for you?

Martins Panelmasters (97581544) in Upper Ferntree Gully - Talk to Sam. They are approved repairers for all insurance companies and do excellent work. Thier paint matching has been to perfection and they have gone out of their way to get hard to find parts, provide car etc. You can tell them Jacob Huybers recommended them, they'll get a laugh out of it, been there a few times. It can't be good when you ring up a smash repairer and they say 'what have you done now...' lol

I know it's a long way out but give Gals Smash Repairs a call in Tullamarine As for Dave - 9330 3137.. I got rear ended begining of the year and my car has come up MINT!!! He does a fantastic job on Lines... Highly recommend him and his work.... Sam also does good work, Hes done a fair bit of work to my Cuz car... ExtremLine Car detailing Sam knowz him rather well...

Good luck hope all gets fixed up with no problems.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
