and I parked away from all the other cars.

I still managed to get hit by someone reversing or turning around. I noticed it this morning in the light.

I am really not impressed at all :P

Will cut and polish tommorrow and organise someone to pop the dent out, but i have a feeling it will never look the same again. I should probably get some touch up paint for the scratch also.

I dont reall have any idea who it was at this stage and probably will never know.

someone's reversed and turned into it.....very slowly, on a very accute angle. Looks like anyones car that has been parked out the front of my place! (drug dealers across the road who can't 'reverse turn' when they're high). Bummer mate!!

Bad news.

I had a dent repair guy come around and take a look and he said he couldnt get it looking anything like new. He said the repair would look dodgy so he didnt think he should bother.

I will cut and polish it today. Now everytime I get in my car I will see the dodgy panel :)

What are my options? Panel beater? full respray on door?

anyone know aprox costs? So broke at the moment :)

pro beater should be able to repair it for under $1000.. unfortunately any scrape, no matter how minor can be costly to repair.

You may be surprised how well the cut and polish takes it out.. and maybe you will be able to leave it like that until you get some cash to repair it properly.. but of course "you" will always know its there, and where to look at.. that always sucks.

Mines got a few small minor dents and long scratches.. that from 5-10m away you can barely see at all and the car looks "straight as".. but in bright sunlight and close up they're obvious enough.

Do you think it was a white car that did it?

Ask everyone at the party who was there if they can remember who rocked up just after you who drives a white car that has a new scrape on it.

If you make a big deal about it and say if the owner doesnt own up you'll do a lot worse to them, news and rumours will spread fast and eventually you'll find out which scum did it..

Then you can kill them.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
