the police report linked the number plate to an "unknown driver". When they called him, he denied any liability.

/insurance claim

Did your insurer keep pressing the police for followup? I'm guessing "unknown" driver means the car is registered under two names, and no one was owning up who was driving at the time?

nope, they left it in my hands to call him. thanks just car.

man that sucks :)

how much is it to fix vs your premium?

quoted around 400ish, depending on how bad it is, to have it stripped, fixed and re-painted. i paid less for the front bar when i bought it. my excess is $2550, so i told them politely that there is no way on God's green earth that ill be paying that.

    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
    • With ordering the belt, you're doing water pump and the idler and tensioner at the same time too yes?
    • This is just a dumb way of keeping the wastegate closed to make more boost. Undo it and either follow the factory setup or redo it properly. Manual boost controllers just use a spring preload to determine when to close in response to boost pressure so it no longer vents to atmosphere.
