Another one bites the dust

[MaXiMuS007]

really? hrmm i'll have to check on that.

i'll see how things go with the panel beaters its at now, the guy seems very decent

[chopobo]

sorry to hear maximus

i shed a tear everytime i see a skyline hurt

hope it all pulls through ok

i have same kind of setup as you, my support bar is removed.

i think all aftermarket front bars have the support bar removed or else the frontbar wont fit

i dun think you can take legal action against the engineer

im pretty sure they have a loop hole that make them not liable for it

or else everywun would be suing engineers for anything

If you are still getting quotes - they will come to YOU!

I crashed a previous car about 2.5 years ago and had 3 different repairers come out to inspect my car at my house and quoted me by phone later [after getting parts costing]. Simple - no towing needed!

If you are happy with current one then dont worry

[Al]

Noooooooo.......

How unfortunate that this happened to you, but glad to hear that you are ok. Hope to see ya back on the road soon.

If ya need any help call me i will do what i can.

Good Luck

Alan

i'm not sure about that chop, i don't think most people think about the responsibility of the engineers

[SmoothLine]

I have a top-secret front bar, but i still have the bar in place for protection... Its there for a reason so leave it there.

Hope all goes well with repairs mate, although with the chassis bent id say she's a lost cause

[MaXiMuS007]

The chassis isn't bent

[phorj]

I've got dibs on the GTR front bar you had!

Sorry, trying to find some fun in the matter.

Good to hear it wasn't that bad!

[MaXiMuS007]

Lol

lets say its bad enough, phorj, but could be much worse

[MaXiMuS007]

I can get absolutely all the parts I need for $2000, including

LHF Guard

2 Headlights

Bonnet

Bumper+Grill+Reinforcement

Radiator

A/C Condensor + Piping

Radiator Support Panel

Radiator Fan

Should I take it?

[2fardown]

Sounds like a decent price. What are R33 front cuts worth these days?

[MaXiMuS007]

I'm not too sure, probably around 6k

[MaXiMuS007]

BTW, I spoke to a compliance engineer, he said he'd never had to sign off on a front bar because theres no specific ADR covering front bars and the impact of modifications on the safety of the vehicle is debatable, so there goes that idea.

Oh yeah, I can get the whole car fixed for under $4500, it will be better than it was when i got it.

[MaXiMuS007]

Well work has begun on the car, things don't seem that bad, i could have it on the road perfect in 3 days as soon as i get the parts i need.

But yeah, it's been an expensive process and I'm on the verge of giving up and selling out as soon as it's fixed... ;(

How does that fit in with insurance then?? How do they decide which they cover or which they don't due to front bar?

Good work anyway max.. Hope it comes up as good as new..if not better??

u spoken to Nathan (dj_lethal) i assume?? he has plenty of stuff stuff coming off with his current upgrade

[adznight]

I feel your pain now, just stacked mine yesterday whilst it was raining. Water over the road and the rear end just came unstuck! Hit a street sign then a tree. Looks like at least 8k of damadge. I've got pics but I'm not sure how to put em up!

[romaniac]

whats with everyone and crashing lately?

[adznight]

Rain! And we're all loose cannons!

[MaXiMuS007]

omg Adzmax you OK?

I bet you've got comp insurance tho

[MaXiMuS007]

I think it's been an unlucky week for max's
