  1. Well good news, had a phone call from crashy woman. She's said she will pay and she didn't realise that she had hit my car. For someone who didn't realise she's very happy to pay.

     

    What a result :teeth:

  2. Well here's two of the images and you can see its hit her door panel which flexes more so shes come out of it better. :rant:

     

    She also parked in the same place and I have confirmation that she was parked next to me that day!

    (this photo makes it look better than it really is)

     

    You can see we have worked out all the measurements to get the best evidence and give me the best possible chance.

     

    Hopefully she will admit to hitting me otherwise I will be forced to proceed with civil proceedings against her as it was a private car park (still need to read up fully).

     

    I am tempted to drive down to RT Performance as their work looks fantastic.

     

    But only time will tell.....I will keep you updated :)

  3. Cheers guys however I do have an update:

     

    Got a quote for £470 :wacko: but there is some better news...

     

    I took a look in the car park today and parked in the same area is a Mazda with damage that matches my car.

     

    Needless to say I have taken loads of photos and I now know who the car belongs to :lol:

     

    Its someone who works for another company in the same building (who we sell services to).

     

    My boss is contacting her boss to see if it can be sorted, we shall see if she admits to it soon.

     

    Ill post up some photos later (no plates or info)

  4. We usually have a secure car park with cameras everywhere as I work in a data centre but there is work going on so we have a temporary car park, this is not so great.

     

    So I wasn't to pleased to find that someone has hit my car.

    Annoying but that's life, it was spotless apart from 2 tiny marks on the rear bumper!

     

    I have a very good body shop close to me so I will be getting a quote however I just wanted to see what you guys thought it might cost?

     

    The top scratch is also dented in so will need a panel beater but I know this body shop has an ace one who sorted my Impreza when it had a ding.

     

    I'm thinking 300 - 400 for a good job?

  5. Well I have Tein springs, spacers, Y pipe with a full service kit on the way and berks in the post.

     

    Also a few other bits to spice it up ready for a remap.

     

    Cars paintwork is mint except a few marks on the bottom of the rear bumper (no idea how) then this happened in the car park at work:

    Really annoying, the top is dented but its fixable and there's a local workshop that are top notch.

     

    Remap money is going to be spent on repairing someone else's mistake, oh well...

  6. Sweet, to be honest I'm still thinking of a change to a cobra resonated or invidia...or ark grip. You're right, it never ends.

     

    I had a rattle and it was the heatshield to the right of the back box if you're looking from the rear. Just bent it back a bit and rattle sorted!

  7. Do you get any noise like a wheel bearing?

     

    When mine went it started vibrating however it sounds more severe in your case.

     

    Get it up on a ramp and spin the wheels, see if you can see or hear anything

     

    Could be something like a bent drive shaft?

  8. If they are Eibech spacers like below then they will just need installing, no alterations to the studs at all.

    That's how the 350z ones come and I can't imagine its any different for 370z, I sure someone will confirm 100%

     

    EDIT: Damn you Keyser, too quick

  9. Looks like you have to remove the radiator:

     

    From 2012 thread:

    * Remove drain plug at bottom of radiator & empty into a bowl

    * Remove upper & lower radiator hoses and also the hose from the overflow tank to the radiator

    * Remove 2 screws holding fans into the radiator core, disconnect the fan wires & lift out fans (I found this a lot easier to do with the intake removed)

    * Remove the 2 plastic covers on the front slam panel to reveal 2 bolts - remove these

    * Turn 2 rubber mounts at the top of the radiator & the 2 rubber feet at the bottom of the radiator

    * Remove the radiator core
