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.

    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
    • I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
