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?

    • Sadly we have something in common, our Skyline's like blowing up electrically 馃槩
    • So, no videos, but, the FAB9 Elite manifold and 68mm Bosch throttle bodies are in stock, but, not the rear part of the air box The FAB9 rear airbox thingie is made with a 3" intake pipe, to suit the 3" intake pipe size of a 68mm throttle body  When they get some more in stock is currently unknown as I'm waiting for FAB9 to reply with a ETA on resupply, my assumption is they outsource their plastic printing stuff to "china", and with the current "tariff war" going on in 'Merica it could be on hold for an undisclosed time Should I pull the pin on the Intake and throttle body, and wait for the airbox?????, that's what I'm thinking... 1. Would the standard 2.75" OEM intake on the air box really be that much of a restriction compared to the 3" naturally aspirated?????? 2. If I don't get the 3" FAB9 airbox fitted at the same time as the intake and throttle body will it need a retune, when/if it eventually turns up?????? As I'm impulsive, to a fault, decisions will be made within....."what's the time now"???....let's say 12 hours......LOL
    • yeah its just so expensive nowadays and its easy to lose motivation very quickly when you start adding up the costs. I acquired the car from a collector in Melbourne and was lucky to get the opportunity to buy something already completed.  I looked at a proper resto and your paying over 300-400K for a proper one (nut and bolt) so this one to me seemed like a much better option! Car is in private storage and for serious buyers, welcome to come see it/drive it in person (photos don't do it justice). 
    • nice to see a proper resto, instead of the usual half arsed attempts where the owners wont even replace crappy floor mats
