Damn that sucks dude. Is she at least going to foot the bill for repairs? I wouldn't necessarily believe her just because she says her insurance has run out in the last few days. She could just be trying to get out of paying her premuim. I'd get your insurance company to give her a call regarding the accident.

but realistically, i'd hazard a guess that he "might" turn your car away. he usually only does insurance work/prestige/euro work. your average kitted beast is not where he pitches himself in the marketplace so don't be offended if he says no....

As Amaru said, it all depends on how busy he is with the exotics. I know a stock (externally) S15 that was repaired there and my old Nissan Bluebird was fixed up by Tony.

So it doesn't hurt to find out.

well i went in to me mate at QBN..

he thinks the front bar might not be able to be fixed...

But he is gonna send it off to the "experts" but recons it gonna cost to get it patched up.. if it can even be done.

All else is good.

Thing is she pays for all parts labor for the front half of the car..

If i want the rest sprayed ill have to pay the difference..

I wanted the repray anyways.. so not too fussed, even know its money i didnt want to spend now.

Few more questions.. CF bonnet? where can i get one for for a good price? im goin to change the bonnet to CF as mine is unrepairable, and ill pay the difference.. Same might have to go for the front bar.. might need to source something else.

try just jap i think for carbon fibre... are 700ish BUT i think u also have to get some sort of adapter because they are GTR bonnets???

Click here

thats the page with bonnets and some bars on there...maybe get a fibreglass gtr bar, the CF bonnet and do some mod's to the bar to make it vertex style....cut off the bottom and then put the bottom lip from yours on.....it coudl maybe work hahah would look good i rekon!

click here

also the unique auto sports page with R32 stuff on it, but the bonnets are more expensive and the bars aren't to great cept the GTR ones! to get to that page go to product list then skyline GTST

hope this all helps mate

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff
