FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. Insurance rang, said the police report is unsuccessful as the rego i provided them has an unknown driver. They also said that they got in contact with the guy who hit me, and he flat out refused liability and provided no details.

f**king pissed.

who wants to ring the scumbag and hurl abuse at him?

Thats just wrong. :)

Got the guy's address ... we should all go and say hi. :D

See ya joel it has been great to know you for all these years from both owning 32's together and me upgrading to my 34.

You have been a wealth of information and always willing to lend a hand when needed.

you will be sorely missed around SAU SA and i want to wish you all the best for the future whatever that may be. :thumbsup:

nah i dont have it, thats the problem!! Otherwise i'd send you and Nene around.

Im going to ask insurance to do a rego check through department of transport. Hopefully that will come up with something. Or maybe someone who might know what they are doing with finding people (hint hint) can find him for me :thumbsup:

So you have the guy's phone number but a fake rego number? At the time of the accident did you obtain his licence to check? Anytime I have any incident whatsoever, I want to sight the licence, check its valid, and take photos of both vehicles ... as well as obtaining their phone number and rego number (off the rego label).

The cops should be able to do more than just stop at the guy refusing to give details :thumbsup:

Get as much info as you can on this guy. Adelaide is a small place. Give whatever info you have on this guy to your insurer.

Some years ago, I got knocked off my bike. The offender (P-plater in a commonwhore, no less) refused to speak with my insurer and police. He made a police report, yet gave a different story to the Ambos at the scene, and then again to his insurer. My insurer would not pay out the $18K for me to replace my bike, because this fool told his insurer a totally different story. Well, some months after the crash (when I could walk again), me and about 30 bikes turned up on his front lawn and we 'influenced' his decision to make things run smoothly. I got my claim. And he got his front yard excavated.

Went to Court to sue the prick for injury and damages not fully covered by my insurance, and the Court awarded me the damages. He was arguing that I was 'racing' on the suburban road. The judge had no problem ruling in my favour because (a) the accident was 200m from my front door, so I wasn't racing in my own hood, (b) I had no traffic offences for the (then) 14 years of riding, so had a clean record, © he had lost his licence previously and had numerous traffic offences, and most importantly (d) all my reports and claims were consistent in its story. Who would you believe?

Then he had to front Court with the police for make false claims/reports. He ended up losing his licence for 12 months for lying, and a further 6 months for the accident. The police personally called me to tell me they hauled him over hot coals.

well i know i got the correct rego, i took it down while i was there. The prick has probably unregistered it or something.

I've never been in an accident where i have had to take details before, so i guess a bit of it is my bad, but a name, number and rego should be enough :thumbsup:

If you want, PM the info you do have and I'll see what I can find out. But still continue with getting the cops back onto him, and get your insurer to start claiming again him.

Did you have any witnesses? Those are real handy too.

0 witnesses, was at 1am on waterloo corner road, was dead as. The insurer has left it up to me to follow it up with the cops, apparently they isn't anything else they can do.

If you want me to get whatever info I can, PM me.

It'll be only for info ... no contact with him will be made. I will not jeapordise your claim.

Wow Joel, Didn't see that coming. You were a strong but fair Moderator :thumbsup: I think i speak on behalf of everyone when i say you were someone everyone looked up to and respected for your leadership and constructive 15000odd posts hehe. All the best for the Future mate.

When were you in an accident Damo? :s!

Ryan, how much you want for the 33?

Once ive got it running pearla with a new manifold and external gate ill start thinkin about it...

I got no idea what it's worth...to me its worth a fortune...but its only worth what people are willing to pay for it...If i decide to sell I'll probably end up returning it back to stock and selling all the parts. Still in great condition with 87,000 on the clock.

Same thing happened to me when I imported. Had a R32 lined up. Abosulte stocker. Only had 46,000km on the clock and they weren't tampered with. Missed out on it because it went for so much it would of cost me near $20k by the time it landed.

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
