That should buff right out :)

But seriously, I passed you as well yesterday coming out of Long Gully road. Would have stopped but it looked as though you were ok and everything was pretty well sorted by then.

If it's any consultation, I just got back from the Hong Kong sevens and the drivers over there and particularly over the border in China have to be seen to be believed. They make even ACT drivers look marginally competent.

Hope it all works out ok for you.

As mentioned, glad to hear you are A-OK! Seems to be that a lot of "incidents" are not so much being caused by the "hoons" anymore but more-so people with a lack of skill behind the wheel, lack of sleep, or lack of common sense!

I got the price quotes from just jap. All second hand parts. If they want new parts prices then it will surely be a write-off.

Im not too worried. In a way I hope it gets written off for a few reasons.

1) It will be about 2 - 3 weeks getting repaired due to the fact the engine has to come out, engine bay striped and the front of the car unstitched. I will be without a car for about 2 months if they try to fix it. :)

2) Ill be able to buy a 2 door or mabye chip in a bit more cash and get myself a 2 door GTS-4. :)

my GF has been hit by a truck and he drove off. nothing she could do.

apparently theres a law that if a truck driver is "unaware" that he/she has caused or been involved in an "accident" and drives off theyre not liable. WTF BS is that!

at least hes taken responsibilty. good job handling it all :)

I just found out that in Just Car Insurance's policy it says that unless I have full comprehensive insurance they will not chase the other insurance company for me. Fair enough I guess. After im back on the road I will be going to full coverage.

They did send me an example of the letter I have to write so it should not be a problem.

Buggah :)

Uh maybe a silly question, but if you only had third party insurance, then why did you think anyone might chase anyone for u? Only full comps do (at least, far as I know, and even then not all the time!).

Once again, good to see ur calm about it and thinking forwards not backwards!

UNLUCKY mate

i was staionary at the lights and someone hit me up the back of my car doing 80+ km/h car written of and me still with a bad back.

if you have any injuries that where not there before the accident make sure to get them checked out as long term it costs you money when it was there fault.

Buggah :D

Most insurance companies have in their policies that if an accident is not your fault then they will help you recover costs. In the money they charge is also a fee for them doing this. That way they make their customer happy (and make sure they still have a car to insure with them) and also make a little cash.

Im with justcar though so I dont have this in my policy.

Things just went from bad to worse anyhow. I got a call sunday morning from the guy that hit me. He told me that the truck he was driving was actually his personal truck and not his work truck. Oh, and that he has no insurance.

I got a quote from tony ferugia today that says the car is an economical write-off, and ill be getting another one tomorrow. I guess ill have to find a good lawyer.

Anyway guys, ill keep ya posted.

I assume he gave you all his details?? Last name, address, phone number?

People that drive without insurance are pretty freakin loopy, please violate him sideways (financially) so that he learns his lesson.

Ouch!

I would definately be finding a good lawyer as its going to be -very- hard to get your money. Was anything defective on the car at all? If so I would advise to get it off before he/his lawyer can get a look at it. It can be argued otherwise that the car was defectable and you shouldnt have been driving it in the first place.

Good luck... know a friend who had a bad accident and the people that hit him were insured. 4 months later the ball is only just starting to roll and he probably wont see a cent for another 12 months. Hope this guy has the spare cash to pay you or else youre going to find yourself severely out of pocket.

Good luck.

He could also be making up that the car isn't insured. If you've given the insurance company his details I'm sure they can look this stuff up. He could just be trying to get out of it becuase he doesn't want to pay his excess and get his premium raised (or what ever way it goes).

My car is 100% legal, registered and had the compulsary 3rd party insurance. No problems there at least. My main problem at this point is that as soon as I tell people that it is an R32 they are not interested in quoteing. A&A have been the least helpful at this stage.

I called him and asked for a quote. He got all my details (including the cars) and said it would be no problem. I pay to get the car towed their and then he tells me that it is not a write-off, but he cant repair it. Then he says that he cant give me any sort of quote.

Anyways. Im talking to my lawyer tonight so ill see what happens.

Well, looks like things are going to be ok. I spoke the the bloke that hit me and he seems keen on buying whats left of my car and making it a hill climb rally car. I have organised for a replacement car which has been freshly imported from japan and is already complied. Hopefully by next friday it will be mine and ready to be transported to canberra by truck. Here are some pics of it.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
