Crap, will insurance cover that?

Only had third party on it and at the moment trying to find out WHO owns the tree, whether it is the council or RTA. They have insurance for these sorts of things..... they are up to $9000 worth of damage with the quote and i'm without a car

Too me its looks hes hit tree

In the situation, if it were good or bad conditions i still was gunna hit the tree.

it landed about 2 feet in front of the car and there is no way i was going to prevent the accident.

And for once a skyline driver (me) wasn't in the wrong, not to affend anyone but as soon as someone sees a skyline in an accident who do people think are in the wrong?

ouch

sorry to hear that, find out whos tree it was and there property insurance should cover it

happened to a mate about 2 yrs ago and the owner of the house coughed up.

oh one more thing

It will buff right out :sorcerer:

One problem with someone coughing up is that the RTA or council who are government are gunna take there sweet ass time and hope that i get the shits and pay for it myself,,, which is a problem because i am still paying it off and on apprentice wages...... pritty shit hey

By the way heres a pic of the tree itself.

As you can see the bastard had rotted out

so was it on council/government land or in someones property.

Council. i'm sorry it may take a while

someone house/property: knock on the door get a police report and call your insurance co so they can help you persue the claim (even third party they should still try and help out)

it may be an RTA road, but do the RTA own the property where the tree was planted?

If the tree was planted on council property, it's the councils repsonsibility.

Thats the hard part to find out because as soon as you talk to someone in the rta or council they automatically think they can talk you down and turn you away so easy....... its really giving me the shits

Your insurance isn't willing/able to fix the car and chase it up on your behalf without any cost to you?

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope! 
    • I spotted a black C34 in Mittagong this morning!
