Trying to track down two parts on behalf of my repairer that they're having trouble tracking down:

* R34 passenger side xenon headlight

* R34 drivers seat for a sedan (not sure if this is different to the coupe)

Drop me a PM if you know of where to source these or have them yourselves.

R34 front 4 door and 2 ddor seats are identical Jenna (I bought the leatherette covers ofr a coupe and they fitted my 4 door perfectly). The seat rails are however different - is the rail stuffed?

If they are repairing the car, shouldn't they get Geniune Nissan parts from Nissan. Instead of getting you (the client) to source out the parts on behalf of them?

I'd been told my the insurance assessor that the repairer was having dramas finding parts - so I figured I'd try here, and other sources to help out. Turns out he's already sourced the seat, so that doesn't matter - was just missed on the quote for some reason.

My big concern is apparently the assessor is wanting to repair the headlight because of the cost of a replacement. Apparently some mob in Melbourne can put a new glass front on it or something. My obvious concern here is how well that would match my existing headlight.

I would have thought it would be easier to source a local genuine xenon headlight that's been converted to H1, and use my parts to convert it back to xenon. I might have a chat with repairer about that tomorrow. I really don't want a 'dodgy'.

Genuine NIssan parts would make the cost of repair way too high, and the car would be economically written off by the assessor. Crash repairers put quotes together using a combination of new and used/reconditioned parts to make the repair affordable.

I had the same option to source parts when my car was being repaired (by the same repairer Jenna is using), as they will not order/source the parts until the car is in the workshop. If you can source parts, this helps speed things up, as sometimes the client may have better inside knowledge than the repairer. Plus, the parts you find can sometimes result in the repairer paying you for them :)

for the price you pay for insurance make them get genuine

As above Steve. ;)

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
