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

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
