came with the car bro... hopefully ya get ya car sorted soon and maybe i'll see ya out on the road

yeh the afms have been giving me a headache of late lol. i know that they are to blame tho.

when im on the road again ill hit you up mike :D

Na its cool ill get some stuff tonight.. ill make a salad aswell... and before you can say anything BEN,.. yes you do make friends with salad!!

it sucks about the house roo.. but it will all be worth it :D Tracy will be ok with it.

Hey Roo, I've got a great conveyancer who can settle properties in under 2 wks which is usually faster than a bank can register and prepare docs (quickest time was 8 days but banks won't move quicker than that). You've got to be prepared to play courier boy though.

If you ever need another conveyancer again, PM me.....he's cheap to. :D

ahhh the guy who hit my car and never paid me for the damages lives out there. he threatend to get a restraining on me he i kept bothering him about the money. could be a good reason to head down there.

Kye, if you've already sent the guy a letter of demand and still no luck, go to magistrates court in Vic Square and organize a summons (between $50 - $80).

If I go to Wallaroo & Kadina, I'll serve him for you at no cost (and give him a piece of your mind).

When he goes to court he'll pay all costs and you'll also recover the summons fee (as long as you can prove you were in the right).

If he doesn't show, magistrate can make a judgement and rule without him....usually in your favour.

pete, im sort of in the same boat.

i got hit in my VT, i had 3rd party only, he had no insurance.

repair bill for my car was 5.5g, my insurance agreed to only pay 3 thousand.

they where going to recover the full amount for repair + excess off of him, and forword the

2.5 thousand that i had to pay out of my own pocket once he pays.....

he hasnt even started to pay them back yet, and i am no longer insured by this particular company.

this was over 2 years ago now,

where do i stand? and what can i do to get my money back?

Just got off the phone with shaun at bootworks, they advised me my car has been tuned.......

296.7 rwkw's at 17psi not bad for a GTR with just basic mods (filters, exhaust and N1 turbos)

Thats pretty good mate, mine makes 284 rwkw, but my standard injector are at 100% :D

thanks for that pete.

it happened awhile ago and i didnt bother with a police report as he was a friend of a friend and i have witnesses to it as well. he backed a trailer into the front of my car when it was parked at mallala race track in the pits.

the damage wasnt very costly but that wasnt the point. the point was i let him off with it and didnt report him (even though he didnt come up to me and say sorry, flick went and got him. i dont think he was going to confess to it untill he found out there was witnesses) then went and threatend me about asking for him to repay for the damages.

i pretty much let it go as he lives out in the sticks but i might make a few phone calls and f**k his week up in return to messing me around!

thanks again pete!!!

Craig, you say you only had 3rd Party yet they gave you money for your car???

Don't think there's a 'statute of limitations' but you'll still be quizzed as to why it wasn't a priority earlier and what's changed to make it important now.

Also no point in going to court without all appropriate documentation, i.e. original copy of 'letter of demand', original quotes for repair, all liaison with previous insurance company and monies already paid, witness statements, an accurate recollection of dates and events, etc, etc.

If you do still decide to go down that road, I'll serve him for you at no charge also.

Thanks pete,

they gave me the 3 grand beacause it was an ''extended poilicy'' through RAA.

thats all i was entitled to if damage to my vehicle occured, from an uninsured driver.

which in my case, happened.

the reason i have left it so late, is because i was leaving it inRAA's hands, and now it seems they have put it on the bottom of the pile i supose, maybe because i am no longer a customer.

only documentation i have is my police report number, and my qoution/reciepts etc.

he did not make a police report.

i should also mention that he was 100% at fault...

he rear ended me at 65 kph while i was stationary at a train crossing

Edited by craig R33

wow, that's a good insurance company then.

shouldn't matter that you're no longer with them, you paid their premium back then.

If you still have an accurate recollection of events and dates, it's really up to you whether you feel like going thru with it again.

yeah i have an accurate recollection of what happened.

i might just give RAA a call tomorrow, to see where he is at.

if he has started to make payments since last time i called them

then ill leave it at that.

this money will come in handy to us at the moment.

ill keep you posted pete, thanks mate.

ps, any chance i could have a look at the mag in which your bike graces the cover?

    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version.
