Fortunatly it was just me.

Looks like repairs will take a while, the repeier is booked up for over a month ;)

In the mean time I need to track down replacement parts for the non genuine bits (intercooler, neons, mags, front bar) so that we can see if its economically viable to repair. :D

Jared, what happened to your ride?

Incident with a truck last week, my fault unfortunantely. Was in a slip lane with heavy traffic, thought he'd backed off to let me in, turned out he couldn't see me until it was too late. Costly mistake.

Caved in the rear quater but it's fixable without cutting metal so could easily be a lot worse. Will get it soughted in a few weeks. May even stick it in the Auto Salon

Howdy Guy, I haven't been on the forums for a couple of weeks and was shocked to hear about your unavoidable accident. I'm relieved to hear that you came through it all unscathed.

That sort of behaviour on public roads is just plain unacceptable as are people who are too cowardly to fess up to their mistakes. Oh well, whoever it was won't get away with it.... Karma has a way of restoring balance and I'm confident that they will pay for it one way or the other.

Good luck with the repairs and I hope it won't set you back too much. Last year someone hit my car while it was parked in the street and just drove off, no note. Even though I was comprehensively covered, paying out that bloody excess ($1100) really hurt at the time. No fair. Cheers, Mike

thats gold steve

x2

lol

good luck with the repairs, neon ftw. lol.

must admit I was never a fan of that front bar..... hope you find something thats quirky and different but yet nice. I reckon something like a lancer evo front bar would look decent on a skyline, or perhaps a GTR type front bar. dunno. I guess I like that kind of shape as my Dayz kit on the stagea is like that.

what sort of cooler are you after? there are some good buys in the group buy thread. or ebay (japan)

Whats all the grief about neons, dont u guys know they are fully sik. LOL

Dont worry, I dont drive around with them on, they are more for car shows etc.

I am asking the insurance company to provide a Greddy intercooler and plumbing (price is great value at around $700)

Instead of neons I was going to get the LED strips

I am waiting on conformation on a Trust front bar (they are not listed in the latest Greddy catalogue - but they may have 1 or 2 in old stock)

Rims are my next issue to sort out - still trying to price 2 rims for the car, but I may put the money towards a different set.

good luck with all of that.

Umm, 2 x Work wheels for $200 from JVP, stagea sau user. a top bloke, chat with him on msn all the time.

dont know if thats what you are after, but would get you by for a while ?

Looks like repairs will take a while, the repeier is booked up for over a month :thumbsup:

You heading back to Des Higgins?

If so, you know it will be worth waiting.

Sorry to hear of your misfortune mate.

At least it's just property damaged not person.

thats bad to hear mate, especially after you just had it repaired.

  • 4 weeks later...

Got the call today, the car is a write off (economically - parts were over 15k)

Next steps will be to determine if its worth buying the wreck (depends what dits people need to salvage) and to look at what else is out there. I think my payout figure is $19,000 and i know there are a few 34 sedans going for around 16k (depends on the condition - im a fussy bastard) Alternativly i may import something.
