Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

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?

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.

Thanks guys :thumbsup: Craig haha your on.

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.

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
