lol reminds me of the chump that hit my last car...tried to drive off, I got him out of the car, got his rego and licence number...then the moron pretended he wasn't home etc etc when I was trying to give him the quote for the repair. The insurance company nailed him for close to $2K just cause he was stupid and didn't fork over $500 for me to fix the car.

the local cop shop told me the plate, i dont think they shud have tho, but give it a try just show up

i had a motor bike run a red light into the b pillar on my last car and wrote it off....the only detail he gave me that was correct was his first name....last name was slightly different, wrong licence number, phone number disconected, wrong address.......was at mt gravatt. luckily i used my trusty camera phone to take pics of his bike and got his rego number. went to the cop shop and they gave me all the details he was supposed to but told me if i went and saw him personally then id get in serious trouble. in the end it turned out he didnt have insurance and had to go through all the legal crap. ended up with about 80% of what i should have but got to keep the wreck. pain in the ass

Thanks for your info.. i just spoken to my cousin (solicitor), he reckon we can take legal action against the driver if he refuse to pay the claim. :)

my machette... my fist and gloria.. (my crowbar) is all the insurance u need vicne..

OMFG DUDE! You named your crowbar after my mum!! What the hell! :P

Sorry to hear about the 32... I'm guessing it was some little old azn lady that got scared and ran off :( Let us know how today's station visit goes.

Sounds like they're buggering you around a bit mate.

The cop shop in Woodridge sorted my mess out within a few days of my car being egged by an oncoming car full of punks, they didn't expect me to turn around and chase them. I got their number plates and went straight to the police station.

I had to get a quote on the damage and if the repairs cost was in excess of $250 (i think) it made it a more serious matter (instead of just willful damage - in this case).

My damages weren't that expensive so i pretty much got a quote, gave it to the police station and a few days later i got a cheque in the mail :)

serious that sucks.. eggs do terrible damage to paint and apparently whip cream does too..

good to see people winning.. gives u a bit more confidence

Finally got a call from the officer.. :worship: after 6 days.. :) and gave me the contact details and the address for the driver..

Rang the driver, his car was not insured and agreed to repair mine.. hopefully the bill is not too much for him.

I guess he will learn the lesson now... DO NOT HIT A SKYLINE AND RUN ! BIG BRO IS WATCHING YOU !!!! :)

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
