I got rear ended this morning. Im kinda bummed about it because I got a speeding fine yesterday on my 21st birthday, and I think I lost my license. The worst thing is that they pegged me for 95 in a 60 zone leading on to an on-ramp of the freeway :) . Kind of an unfair spot, I think.

haha

lol @ bday sex; geez mums can be so kind and thoughtful sometimes, hey?!?!

hahaha sorry man, joking, trying to get ya to laugh - good work on that account tho

With the speed camera and the area it was situated in, etc, you have all the right to go with it to court, plead for leniancy etc.

As for the rear end, man bad luck. Thats mighty depressing. Hope it all irons out ok

Now there's an emotional couple of days =\

Bad luck about the fine (you should fight I say!) Good work on getting some =D

I recently parted ways with a long term GF and my Series II GTS25T - Upgraded to a GTR and currently 'upgrading' to a hotter GF :wub:

Sometimes these kind of things are really blessings in disguise!

Good luck!

= $10k repair bill before you can even blink.....

I hear East Bear body kits are really nice.....

You were right, and the panel beaters are booked solid so might end up being a write off!

Thanks for your support guys it means a lot :) . I wont be fighting the fine as I'm moving really close to my work so I'm going to take it on the chin, and save some money for 3 months!

I recently parted ways with a long term GF and my Series II GTS25T - Upgraded to a GTR and currently 'upgrading' to a hotter GF :dry:

i upgraded from a 33 to a 34 GTR

but i wish i could upgrade my wife too :)

back to the topic, 95 on a 60..ouch$

they set the camera there on purpose, bet they'd have a 60 sign right next to it too

bastards

bad luck dude, but as was said earlier, may be a blessing in disguise. to upgrade to a GTR!! :)

Il take a pot shot and say that u got pinged coming off canning hwy and that 60 zone to manning road. I know alot of people that been caught on that one. (thats the only one that i know on the freeway that's so stupid. )

Hope everything works outok.

I had a little shunt, had to replace the rear bar, rear panel, bumper re-inforcement, and spray the whole rear end.

To spray the whole rear end you also have to spray right over the roof and down the A pillers, as it's one section of steel.

My damage was HARDLY visibled, but the repair did need to be performed.

Total cost was $7,300.

The accident I see above needs

rear bar

rear panel

boot panel

brake lights x 2

boot

both quarter panels

bar reinforcement

window seals x 2

The remove and refit on those parts alone is going to be $10k

Then there's the labour to pull the car straight etc etc.

I put a beer on Write off.

Sorry man.

did you have insurance? or should i say did the person who hit you have 3rd party?

Ive always thought that meant their insurance company has to pay for it if at fault? so new car for you?

Edited by jjjDavey

The assessor just called me and said its most probably going to be a write off, however I need to get a quote because if the accident goes to court they need evidence that it was actually written off.

thats some terrible damage mate, i wish you were in adelaide and it came as a repairable write off, id be pestering you and offering cash for your complience plate........

hope they got the wrong car or theres some obstruction in the speeding fine picture

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
