Fingers crossed you car comes under 'contents' in your house and contents insurance...cause im sure its better to claim through house insurance than car insurance, rating 1 compromised etc...goodluck

Nope.

Vehicles are specificaly excluded in the house and contents policy :wave:

Pity, cos thats got a zero $ excess.

Have to claim under my car policy so its the $500 basic excess.

Ive been told I may not loose my no claim discount since I held a gold rating at my previous insurer and it was ment to be acceped at this company but was not noted. Guy there said provide proof and it may still carry over (fingers crossed)

Saw the panelbeaters today.

They said since only one panel is undamaged they are quoting for a full respray.

Spose I your an optimist $500 for a full respray isant that bad....

damn that sucks, good luck with the insurance though it was painful trying to make a claim when my missus hit a dog - their easy to deal with when they have someone to return money back but when its a pure "accident" they can be real pricks.

No.

Builder has just had a look and said it was caused by a roof leak.

I say bullcrap, showed my old man who's a builder and works in commercial.

First thing he said...

Where's the glue?

You can't hold up gyprock with just gyprock nails. YOU NEED GLUE!!

Wouldn't have happened if glue was also used.

No glue.... Chances are he was a tight arse and used nails.. hence the nail comment. if he won't spend on glue what are the chances of him spending on the more expensive screws and screw gun. :P

Yer its a little hard to see via a pic if there is or isn't nails/screws in the middle...

The fault here all comes down to the lack of glue.

As stated soaked up a little water, because there was no glue it simply pulled through.

The assessor has been to see it.

He has said it needs a full respray.

Over 5k :happy:

Just waiting for written notification to go ahead with that now.

Glue was used.

Its the same colour as the timber so it just didnt show up in the pics.

If glue had been used it will rip a chunk out of the gyprock.. Unless he didn't use the correct glue.

Well the incorrect glue managed to hang on for 30 odd years...

Still hanging on now as just having a close look at it now shows all the glue blobs covered with the cardboard covering off the gyprock.

i guess the cardboard covering just came away when it was wet.

I can see the glue marks, what I CAN'T see, is any water damage to the top side of the gyprock.

If it was caused by water damage, you'd expect to at least see a few water stains?

Damn I'm blind..

I can see marks on the gyprock but they don't look like glue marks... Well nothing like the glue marks that I'm used to seeing.

In the past when I've slapped up gyprock with my old man then once had to remove it the glue ripped great big holes in the gyprock.

      I downloaded the apps (for windows) and Consult 1 doesn't have this function on it for the Consult 1 plug which I'm pretty sure all Skylines have. You would think someone would have a workaround after 30 years for all Skylines which have ABS.

      Also, I don't know the actual ABS system on the skylines, but a sneaky thing could be a piece of electronic equipment that makes the ABS think you're moving, and then same piece can send a signal for a locked up tyre... Activate ABS without slamming brakes...

      The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.
