If Sammie says he was going through a green arrow then this truck has ran a red light. No-one has ever started an accident thread on a forum and actually called the police when it happened, please tell me you did.

i had an accident yesterday and my insurance company said theres no need to contact the police..

off topic i went to Just Cars assessors today and theres about 5 skylines there including mine.. 3 black r33's and a white 32..

If there is over $500 damage or anyone injured the police need to attend, so I'm not sure why your insurance company would say something like that. :) If you aren't at fault in an incident like this, then it's best to get the police there so they can make sure the other driver (and you for that matter) is licensed, in a fit state to drive & to get statements from everyone involved including witnesses. It's best to do that instead of just getting their details & then let them drive home or get their car towed & then they are the hell out of there before they get into trouble...

if there is $1000 worth of damage is when you must report. It is up to the individuals to call the police if they feel they should or when there has been a fatality, AFAIK!

Sammie, I'm glad you are OK.

Mitchy claimed thru the driver at faults insurance with no out of pocket expenses.

If he had gone through his insurance, they wanted the excess up front, but would reimburse once all finalised.

Good Luck with everything.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
