Hi all,

This evening about 6:30pm I was on my way to indoor soccer at Bonyrigg indoor stadium when my line was driven into.

I was driving down Edensor Road, Bonnyrigg in the left lane doing the 60km/h speed limit when the guy driving his work ute in the right lane that was tailgating the car infront of of him decided to turn left into my line without indicating, looking in his mirror's or looking at his blind spot. His ute first collided with my driver's side mirror then proceded to the rear quater panel. The local Police were contacted and I was told that unless someone is injured, under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol or the car's have to be towed the Police dont get involved, I was advised to contact my insurance company to follow it up.

Other than that my line and I are doing well.

Now im looking for quotes for a repairer, I don't know anybody in the industry or who has a good reputation, could anybody recomend somebody?, my line ia a Gunmetal Grey R33 GTST.

Thanks in advance,

Smoky.

Shouldn't your insurance or his look for a repairer? Or are you after someone specifically reputable?

My insurance company (Just Cars) said that I should got out and get two quotes then they will send an assessor out to inspect the car, then they will decide which out of the two is most appropriatly priced.

The police wont do anything about a guy who doesnt indicate when changing lanes and consequently wrecks the car beside him???? outrageous.....wonder if they will look the other way if someone did that to one of their many holden/ford cop cars.....

Hi all,

Just an update, got a call from my insurer, they contacted the guy that drove into me and he gave them a completly diffrent story and said that I was the one who drove into him, what up with that?? A friend of mine is a security guard and I called him out to the car park after the accident, he heard the guy say "dont worry about your insurance company, dont call the police, I know somebody who can fix it for you, its nothing". Anyone got any suggestions on what to do?

Thanks,

Smoky.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
