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

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
