My line got backed into on the drivers front side. :D

Lady hit my car on the drivers front 1/4, scraped the door, and did some damage to the side bar too...

I need a crash repairer in the north eastern suburbs to get to do my car (i get choice of repairer), as it has to be local.

Anyone recommend a place that will do top line work? Its insurance job, so i aint paying for it.

Id also like to see how much to respray the car maybe (as it needs it). Any ideas how much to get the extra done?

For a top job, see Des Higgins at Parafield. (Probably the best in SA)

If you want the whole car resprayed at the same time (and you have to pay for it) it would cost a fortune with Des, but if the insurance company will pay I wouldnt go anywhere else.

Yep, Des won't respray your car unless you're prepared to do the whole lot, bare metal. TOP class work, but may not be North Eastern enough.

I had some work done at Golden Grove Crash on Golden Grove Road a few years ago that I was happy with. Matched metallic paint very well. Was only one panel though.

Thanks guys. I have heard of Des before, and parafield is pretty close so i'll give him a call.

Id like the whole car done. Its hard to colour match the other panels when the rest of the car is faded :D Damn previous owners backyard job.

Wonder if i can get em to put on some gtr front 1/4 panels :(...

I might ring the insurer and see if i can take it anywhere in Adelaide if i cant find somewhere close thats good.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
