I wouldn't bother with insurance for it.

Hey to clean it up in the meantime just get out some cutting polish compound and get all the white paint off your front bumper. It'll hardly be noticable with that gone!

Well, so far do they think you're in the right or the wrong?

I would;

Supply the witness details to them, and then dont pay the excess yet

Write a letter stating the facts (backed up by the witnesses, but dont include their details) to the DRIVER - leave ther parents out of it for now

Contact the police and just ask them if they would like "a statement from yourself as it was an accident, and its probably best you let them know about it" then the cops will go to the p plater and ask for his version of events. Get a copy of both if you can, or just your one

You can then give this to the insurance company as further documentation that you have done the right thing about this all even though it's not your fault (may not mean much, but you're about to spend big on something you didnt cause so whats the loss)

Then see what the insurance companies decide, if they decide you have to pay, maybe try the p plater in small claims court and sue him for the excess, time off road - every little cost you've incured by his negligence (including time off work to be at court, and court costs), by now the parents will be annoyed, and you could CC them a copy "for their records" just to top their days off, now they'll either give up and pay you to get rid of you, or see you in court, if they choose to do that, show up, and get the witnesses to go along aswel (or statements if they cant go) :dry:

You may want to include the fact you have witnesses prepared to go to court in your letter for a bit of extra effect

Ive sued people for less money than that, and won with less evidence than you have, so it *should* be easy enough

Or you could just pay for the new kit and be done with it

EDIT: If you sue them for an amount like that, its easy to do, go see a Magistrate and do it that way, then when it comes time to tick delivery options for the court letter, choose "Hand delivered by State Sheriff" - it costs them another $50 or so, but imagine the impact that will leave with them all! It shows you're not stuffing around. Also the letter has a "Pay" option, where they can elect to pay the money (set amount) and not go to court, which apparently is the most common way these matters are resolved

omg cant believe they backfires on me, the kiddos mum rings me up? lol, and told me is my fault lol, is that legal anyone? coz i asked why wouldnt let your son speak to me? but she replys hes a "minor', but i goes well hes got has license, which has full responsiblities on what ever happens on the road..

A mother saying its your fault? Who wasnt there? And has only heard one side of the story, from someone who happens to be HER SON?

Biased anyone?

No, its not your fault if you did what you say you did and the witnesses confirm that.

Just for trying to be smart - id really put the screws to them

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
