hmmm got the second quote today.. forgot to ask what it was.. tomorrow something else happens and I might find out if it's a write off...

To be honest i'm 50/50 with what ever happens.

Money is nice, but driving a nice car is a bonus too.

Can I just ask a quick question.. those of you that have had accidents and made a repair/writeoff claim, who were you with and did you have any illegal mods? Were they a problem when you tried to make a claim (esp with Just Cars & Shannons). Were they listed on your policy or did they just not see them or ...?

I'm just wondering if we should be bothering with comp insurance (as opposed to 3rd party) because everyone says something different but most of those people haven't tried to make a claim!

Anyway feel free to PM if you don't want anything posted public.. I appreciate any answers :P

Ignuz: at least if you didn't put much time & effort into the car and weren't really attached to it.. if you get a payout you'll probably save money or get alot of extras on your new car at the current prices lol :P

If the gtst got written off, we could easily buy a beaten up GTR (but still a gtr!) with the payout! gah

All i had was an exhaust.. 3/4 so no biggy there.

I'm 50/50 I guess...

Having the car back with new paint, etc would be nice..

Having money would be nice too.. but, i'd prolly get something that isn't too fun or interesting until im atleast 20 :)

the thing about the mods is that if you have an accident and the insurance company doesnt know about the mods they just wont fork out to put the mods back ....

I only had mine for 3 months ...but i was still attached :) ...

They sold her at the auction today for $4800 ....I COULDA BOUGHT HER BACK!!! ARRRRGHHHH!!!!

That sucks balls.

So you wont make a claim for the extra money that you want but are to scared to ask for.If you had gone to them in person and asked the nice lady over the desk to keep it on the low and not report it,just ask her nicley,and she might say wether or not you can get the extra money or even buy back the aftermarket parts back from the car.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
