Hmmm, just spoke to a guy at Shannons again asking about the cost of a hire car. Seeing as I wasn't at fault, I was thinking maybe it would be a no brainer for the other guy's insurance to cover it... apparently not so.

Basically what he said was, I will have to put it in writing as to why I need a hire car, then Shannons will submit that to the other insurer and even then there's no guarantee that the other insurer will pay for the hire car. Fair enough. All good. I can handle that.

Now, that wasn't exactly a pleasant phone call either... Despite the fact that I mentioned that I was just enquiring about it, and that I understand there's no coverage for a hire car in my policy, the person on the other end of the phone kinda sighed, then said, "there's no coverage for a hire car in your policy"....To which I had to respond to (nicely), "I understand that, that's why I mentioned it first... etc etc"....

The first few phone calls that I had with Shannons were good. The people put me at ease. I felt like they were on my side (as they should...seeing as I wasn't at fault). But right now, I don't feel so comfortable... :\

ah wells. Maybe the guy I had on the phone was having a bad day. I'm sure everything will be fine.

but i know wat u mean, how the hell cant u see sumone stopped at the lights

beats me.......useless drivers.

Man sorry to hear the bad news.

Did you find out from the other party why they hit you from behind?

Did you ask why they didnt see you lol?

OMG i remember ages ago..

I was sitting at the set of traffic lights (5 way in sutho shire for those who live around).. Basically i look to my left, and theres this guy just reveresing slowly.. the guy behind him beeped at him, but the guy still kept reveresing.. Slowly tapped the car behind him lol.. no idea what happened nor do i know what he was thinking at the time.. lol..

lol, I'm pretty sure kero was joking guys.

I'm sure shanons will be fine. if you don't have hire car in your policy I wouldn't get one and hope the other insurer will pay. They may not in which case you'll be out of pocket.

I have only ever made one claim against my own insurance and that was with shanons and they were excellent.

Yep, those were the lights.

I just got back from my panel beater's. He's taken photo's and written down all the damage and parts that need replacing, and he's going to go find prices now. If all goes well the car should be with him next week. He said it'd take maybe 2 weeks.

I hope it only takes 2 weeks.

I'm "working from home" today. Damn my neck and back hurt. :\

awwww :bunny: what a hassle! to be in pain and have to drive around trying to wort all that out!!!

Yeah mate I understand your problem. I too have been the victim of dumb ass useless drivers. I stop for a tree on the road unable to pass as the tree blocked my side of the road and with oncomming traffic I had to wait for a break to get around it. Then this dumb bitch just runs into the back of me at like 70km/h not even attempting to brake. Mind you this was a straight road with plenty of room to see traffic. I had headlights on andn brake lights burning but this slart still managed to hit me.

Now 4 months later and I am still without a car.

Think next time I might just take it out on the other driver a bit more and say they tripped.

Did you ask why they didnt see you lol?

Yep. Well I kinda said, "What the FU(K were you doing?" lol

He mentioned something about a CD falling down. :\

Ah well, shit happens.

I just wish my damned neck and back didn't hurt.

make sure you go see someone straight away!!!! And make sure it's someone good aswell!!!

the damage to my back is more than likely permanent because I didn't have the best treatment straight up.

No good man, Hope everything gets sorted out soon,

Then sue,

Sue for the hills, as I dont know what it would feel like to lose the ability to hold an erection.... Sorry to hear man, oh good luck geeting the car fixed too!

Mike

Beer Baron Wins Flawless Victory!

FATALITY!

Wilch I take it you didn't get pictures of the front of his car?

Mike

I actually did. I won't post them though. Just doesn't "feel" right to do so. Damage on his car compared to mine was very little though.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
