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?

    • Spotted in Adelaide last week.... mine! New to me two weeks ago.. love it!
    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
