Ive only owned the car for 1 week and it was parked on the street and a 4 tonne truck reversed straight into it and drove off ... lucky i had 2 witnesses who let me know the guys details .. so frustrating cause the car was DEAD straight before !!

hopefully this guy doesnt screw me round and i get it sorted asap , i went and got a quote today from a local smash repairer and it was $1300

Ouch!! I hate so much when that happens :D even to other ppl's cars. Anyone who can't do reverse parking (trucks, cars, scooters...) should get their license taken off. I got the creep everytime there are parking spaces infront or behind my car. And most of the time ppl bump into someone's car just drive off !! Sorry to hear about the car dude. It's likely the truck belongs to a company so hopefully insurance will work out easier. Happened to a mate at work so he rang up the company and threatened them he's gonna ask cops to pay them a visit or take legal actions,... That company got freaked out and settled it within 2 weeks

What an ass! Doing the runner! =-o

Report it to your insurance company ASAP, with the details that you have. If you have full comp, they will be able to help you out a great deal. If he fails to recognise his fault, you can lodge a damaged property claim with the police.

I had to do this for my sister, who was in the same situation. Asian lady in an excel backed into her car and drove off. Police were nice enough to pay her a visit. =-]

Dude, GET INSURANCE.

Even 3rd party.

your insurance company would take care of everything even getting the money off him.

You are mad id you don't get insurance, and not to put too fine a point on it, I hate to be on the road with people who don't have insurance, because if you crash into me, I'll throw the book at you, and you'll be paying for my car, and you'll be driving a push bike.

Seriously dude, get some insurance.

3rd party insurance won't help you when you are in an accident with someone else and its thier fault usualy. You need full comp for them to chase this - they only do it then because they would have to pay it themselves if they didn't chace the other person. 3rd party they don't care, not thier problem.

Still agree with you tho - should have 3rd party at least incase you smash into a 200k bmw or merc :rant:

i dont have any insurance but that shouldnt matter... called his insurance tonight they said they will try and sort it out for me

Get Insurance !!!!!

Seriously - if you have a GT-R you should have insurance, for your sake and for everyone else's

You'll sleep easier too :rant:

If you can't afford it - then ask yourself why you are owning a GT-R in the first place.

I think you'll find that most 3rd party insurers have a "no fault, no claim" assistance thing where they will make sure to get the money off the other person.

They make money from doing this so it's in their interest.

Usually they will ask you to use one of their authorised repairers and it's all then sorted out.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
