As usual, i forget to attach photos. but uploading soon. Is your car insured for under or close to $10k? Edit: Photo attached. Also take out any non-standard bit if you can, swap the wheels with stock. I wouldn't go too far to mess with any mechanical though like your exhaust or whatever mods you got in your engine bay but

nah man, I'm quite sure that would be a write off unless you are insured for about 10x the value. your front damage appears to be very similar to mine. See attached. My car was insured at the exact value i got it for. repair bill JUST for that would have been well over $10K (as they said anyway, but another assessor on here has told me that it also depends on the repairer you go to, and that the one I went to was more of a General repairer. There was an import specialist like 30CM away that I could have went to and MAY have not got it written off).

Yeah it sucks. take out whatever you think you can take. if you have nice wheels as well, take those. TAKE EVERYTHING. they will dog rape you in every angle possible. this was my first lesson, and a costly one.

I'd be surprised if its not a write off. Rear ended at 80KMPH, hitting the car in front as well so front and rear damage. Comparing it to my repair bill just for bump to an actual crash.

whats the damage? my 34 was written off recently simply for the fact that they cannot source the parts or it costed too much to source the bits. I could have fixed it myself for about 2.5k. although I rekon my hit was at about 10-20 Ks. it still ran fine and was in mint condition but still written off. Just re-read your post, if she hit you at 80KMPH, definate write off hands down. pics would be good too. where are you located?

I didn't think veda/car history did imports? I tried them with my old 34 and they couldn't look it up cause there's a few too many digits

Yeah, if I'm not mistaken, their PDS says that if my car was written off, and I'm found not at fault, I will GET TO KEEP THE CAR and have the VALUE OF THE CAR refunded. Pay more, get less, pay less, get more. Strange things work in this world.

Alright guys, so Insurance is paying me out and I'm not entirely happy with the result. As in their PDS, they say (in short): - Your policy will end - Deductions made in according to unused CTP/on-road costs etc. - They take the car I'm not happy because I'm not at fault and I'm losing out on at least $5K easily. They are paying out less than my agreed value, which the agreed value was the exact price I got the car for. I had to add on top of the buy price a few thousands for RTA/RMS costs, CTP and comprehensive insurance which costed me the good $5K. Seeing that I'm not at fault, my insurance policy has ended, my CTP, on road costs would need to be refunded (what remains of it) to me, put my plates into storage and pay more money to get new plates since the front one is crushed. Now I have to pay more money to buy another insurance policy, CTP again, on-road costs again, number plates again, also put more money into buying the same car (about $1500 more). Realistically I'm getting half the agreed value... Anyone know what my rights are?

I think I recall Prestige Motorsport having one in stock. I headed over to look at a GT and they asked me if I was interested in a VS2 NUR and had one out back. Pitty I don't have that kind of money

Got some stands from Terry, Thanks everyone for their offers and help! Much appreciated

Yeah haha, I usually borrow my mates one who lives like 2 mins away from me but hes working today and cant get them to me. I'll PM you if I'll still need it tonight. Thanks Duncan!

I'm inspecting a R34 tomorrow to replace my beloved one which is now Resting In Pieces. My mate won't be able to get his jacks to me on time so could anyone in or around local Fairfield area, could lend me their stands for a couple of hours?

It's a stat write off. They can't source the parts for it so now its no longer regoable... a sad loss but looking at another one which seems to be much nicer than my one.

Looking for a R34 QM1 White 2 door non turbo auto with aero kit. Exactly like the one in my sig. I'm located in Fairfield West NSW. Wouldn't mind if need to travel 3 hrs out of sydney to pick it up.

Hey man, I used these guys: http://stores.ebay.c...t-current/HID-/ Low beam: 55W Ballast, H1 8000K HID Bulb High Beam: 55W Ballast, 9005 8000K HID Bulb They have some cordless and corded HID ballast. I suggest if your grabing both and you want to mount it where the stock ballast would have been, get the corded one for low beam and cordless one for high beam. If you use cordless on low beam and mount it under the headlight assembly, you will find that the wires will be barely long enough. Also if you want to buy from that guy, PM the seller, ask for "Tom", he takes care of the aussie/Sydney side of the business and let him know that Ricky referred you and that you have the same car. He will set you up and will know exactly what to give you.

I didn't disclose any upgrades to them. Seeing as the only things I've done is replace certain trims that have cosmetic ware with better condition ones, headunit, speakers, footwell lighting system my fire extinguisher. I'm going to argue and escalate it to get my bits back. I spent well over $2.5k on upgrading bits and pieces and I'm not going to let that slide because of the other driver.

I'm with nrma and they automatically cover everything. An assessor called me today and delivered what i didn't want to hear. It's a write off and I've already asked about the parts, no go. by the sounds of things, third party is a good choice to go cause you can keep the car, and with comprehensive, you get your agreed value back but no car... Catch 22 really, pay more, get less. Would i be able to dispute the costs of my parts bought after the car? Since it is unfair that it wasn't my fault and i have to transfer rego again, spend money to get the same parts back. Very unfair to be honest.

Yeah I had my ballast removed and some wires inside the housing cut.

$5K is only a brief look over and guess figure from local repairers that I wouldn't really have them repair, not a full itemized list and labor. Only the assessor who is to contact me can tell me. NRMA

There's no real salvage rights in the PDS. I called and asked them, they told me that I would have to have a reason to keep it and that they may deduct a salvage fee to the money they pay me out for.

1 - Yes 2 - your figures are very close 3 - I had a few ESTIMATED quotes of about $5K in repairs and I'm not at fault so I shouldn't be paying a cent. Due to the fact that my insurer and smash repairs require genuine and new parts to repair the car with, and being a R34, it would have to be ordered from Japan and shipped over which will inevitably add a few thousands on top not to mention the parts are rare/not readily available. It's not confirmed as a write off but it has been assessed today and I'm waiting for them to contact me and deliver the news. Just preparing for the worse at the moment.

I stripped my HIDs and little things like LED for my dome light. but everything else is still in the car and at the smash repairs. Even my beloved Impul shift knob and genuine nismo pedals
