  1. question, what's in it for us?
  2. ?????????????
  3. is it compliable at all?
  4. anyone have the number for famous? I was far from impressed with JC, and shannons is kinda tricky to get insurance with, any tips with shannons?
  5. i just recently had a claim with them, still am going through a claim with them.... Can't say i'd EVER insure a car with them again unless they were my very last option, and i mean dead out of options, even if driving un-insured was looking bad.
  6. pics to xentor01 @ hotmail . com plz?
  7. sorry bout all the questions, but when you say minor flow improvements to the head and intake manifold, what exactly was done? Does it still have the 12 port manifold? Are the butterflys still in place? Also, being an 86 model, is it a NICS? Or is it an ECCS?
  8. so, no price change even if you keep ALL of the stereo components?
  9. could also be the vapour line. With my R31 (may she rest in peace), there was a split in the vapour line, right near the main filler hose. Get under and check your lines for splits. It only leaked liquid fuel above 3/4 of a tank, and them some fuel on an angle after that, then it was mostly vapour.

    it's probably not worth buying the wreck and repairing it, not going to be able to re-insure it. *shrugs*, what to do =/
  13. price without the doof doof?
  14. I've read that there is a red rocker cover ECCS RB20 and a silver rocker cover ECCS RB20, can anyone tell me the differences between the two? (i don't care how small and insignificant)
  15. well, i just lost my R31, basically was robbed of it by the insurance company. So i will have to see how this claim goes and then go from there. But if it all goes well (hopefully) then im bloody keen. I love/d my 31

    it's repairable. All the parts required will cost about $2100.... Supposedly it's going to be a nightmare to ensure this car again, so i don't know what im going to do. I think im going to have to give up the skyline dream once again, THANKS TO f**kING JUST CARS. I also spoke to the evaluator who said that the intercooler would cost $2000 to replace, the intercooler alone, funny how the exact same cooler was costed up at $195 by just jap today.... Anyway, i think i might have to move onto something different, thanks to a certain insurance company, and certain evaluators So yea, i got price for parts, respray, and got a rough idea of labour from asking some mechanics at work, and i calculated it using our own labour rate. All up it'll cost around $4500 to repair fully (probably less cos i was REALLY generous with the labour rate) I'd take them to court if A) i had the money for the lawyer and B..) It was insured in my step-dad's name and i wasn't a nomiated driver
  17. c'mon people, even a bloke who installs these said it's a damn good price
  18. can you ship the GTS-x to sydney? I just lost mine due to being ripped off by an insurance company

    i can get a full respray done for $1500. Car steered fine, other than guard rubbing, no suspension damaged or bent. It's just body damage and indicators /lights etc. I KNOW it's not a write off. Please help a fellow SAUer and a skyline fanatic fight back for his pride and joy

    they are saying it's a write off, when i know it isn't. excess is $2100, which i was more than happy to pay. Engine isn't damaged, i was able to drive it after and park it up the street. Intercooler, most likely, turbo, very very very unlikely, but ok, radiator, yea maybe.
  23. hey guys. Im gonna need allot of help soon as im being SEVERELY ripped off by just cars, so im going to take my car back and repair it myself covering the costs. So, question is, can anyone here help me by giving me some pointers/directions where to get decent priced replacement parts/workshops/panel beaters? I just need some replacement panels for the GTS-x, standard RB20 intercooler (will probably be going front mount after this), new radiator (same deal, aftermarket), and supposedly a new turbo, which i honestly think wasn't harmed at all, same as the radiator (radiator MAY BE, but i have my doubts). As for the body, i just need replacement LHF 1/4 panels, bonnet, and whole front bar including headlights etc etc. Any help pleeeassseee. I dearly love my car, and there is not a chance in bloody hell the insurance company is gonna screw me over for this, and im not letting them auction it off either, not by a long bloody shot. Basically i need prices for all the panels, someone who wants to give me a REASONABLE quote on labor etc etc so i can shove the figures in the insurance company's face and then repair it myself. See, the thing that ticked me off here is, they said it'd take $2000 alone just to repair/replace the intercooler, radiator and turbo on my car, and it's a standard ECCS RB20 setup. So, how's all that make sense when i can get a replacement engine fitted for that price? including the standard cooler etc etc? Anyway, any and all help is appreceated

    near misses always make me s#$t myself. As for choice of repairer, im not sure if they do. Either way i think the front bar will need replacing, as the fibreglass was cracked all the way through (even picked up a chunk of it off the road), so i posted on the R31 club forum to see where i could get replacement bits n pieces, if needbe. JeeTeeEss25Tee, unfortunately, i learnt the hard way that boost + rain + oil/grease = ARRGGHHH I just can't wait to see her again and look into her eyes n hear her voice ... I should write a novel times like that i wish i had a T88 on the side of that RB20, atleast i'd have to be revving it for it to spool up bigtime n get it sideways or something (granted it probably would if i was giving it in a straight line on a really rainy day) so atleast then i know i was being a dick and can blame myself
