Back to the skyline.... seems alot of people in the insurance industry smoke crack while working. Took me 6 phonecalls and about 3 hours to find out its not written off, and that it will be fixed. on the downside, it will take apprx 3 weeks to get approved, then another 2 weeks for parts to arrive, then another week or so for fixing. DAMN U PAPERWORK!!!! Got offered a nice skyline for cheap from some friends but won't be getting a pay out so oh well.

GEEZUS!!!!! the amount of &*^$ that i have had to go through. i ring the insurance compnay every 2 days to see whats going on. Seems that Alianz is a cheap $#%^$^ insurance company that has to claim through another insruance compnay. Seems that the big insurance compnay sent the check for the repairs on the 20/10/06. which was a bloody long time ago, 1 week after the crash to be exact. And ofcourse knowing my luck it got lost, and they only just found that out! So i am going to pay for the repairs and get reinbursed because this is going to take another 4 weeks to resolve and the car is just sitting there.

Infact the repairers rang up today and said what are we doing with the car besides driving in and out of their garage day and night, they said they have had to fill it up aswell lol. So yea its getting repaired now.

Please anyone out there that is insured under alianz........GO TO A REAL INSURANCE COMPANY, theyw ill only cause u pain as they still are learning about the business unlike big players like aami,nrma, just car insurace etc.

peace out

Yay, got my car back today from Revell fyshwick. Seems they did a good job.

UPDATE: got it back from barett Brothers, seems they missed the broken shock. Driving around thinking something wrong, the rear end feels like its floating etc. So yea took it and and yay a broken shock.

Revell said that its no use replacing just one as they will have different damper rates etc and will not feel right. So i had to replace both. Rang insurance and they are like "oh we only pay for the one that was damaged, you have to pay for the other one". After alot of sswearing i think they will be paying for both.

Records are now that it has been off the road for 3 months. All cos of some retard.

My advice? Don't get in an accident!

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
