I cant even begin to think how she got there.

The house is like maybe 10-15m down the road from a roundabout. So syhe must have come off the roundabout got the back end out drift style and then swung it round and gone down his driveway.

The other option is that she jumped the curb on the round about, which is huge, and then careened across 2 front lawns before going through ure garage.

Classic old lady styles, she started fumbling for the pedals and maybe mashed the accelerator due to the bumpyness of the ride over the 20cm curb.

Im just trying to get my head around this madness :confused:

Erik - to answer your question - a write off is when the the cost to repair the car is MORE than the value or insured value of the car. An insurance assessor will determine whether it is a write off. I don't think your car is a write off... usually a write off is when the chassis is twisted or something.

Also the insurance repairer will repair your car to manufacturers standards. Because it is an import - this is quite hard. They will find it hard to gets parts... whichs takes time.... you may not end up with the same front bar on it or something. Insurance doesn't care if you have an awesome veilside kit on it (for example)... they will still only repair it to manufacturers standards.

Bug them ? How? I wish I could ,someone from Peter Wilkinson will tow my car tommorow hopefully I can drive my R34 again. One question if after the repair finish then I can see the colour different between the new parts and old parts , can i ask for all repaint?

    • 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
