dang bad luck......gotta be careful around exam times man....i dont think i ever went in the skyline during exams unless i had good sleep (99% of the time, I was living on coffee)

sux2b the other guy too

but as the others said, main thing is no one was hurt

that audi isn't a write off.

the insurance coy may just give him a new one b/c it is so new...

but that car will end up at pickles or manheim fowles...

chassis doesn't look bent on the TT so it will be repairable.

Sorry to hear and main thing is you are OK. The damage to the Audi doesnt look that costly or like it could have affected it too badly structually. Is it worse than it looks?

At least you had 3rd party insurance too

yeah its worse then it looks in that pic.

anyway

good news

i had a mechanic/panel beater for the HRT v8 supercar team and he said what needs fixing

new radiator

air conditioning

airbags replaced

windscreen

all the front body work

and a bonnet

anyone recommend some good places in melbourne to do this work, preferably one that specialisez in imports and has easy access to parts?

edit: ps. i understand that people may not be able to recomend/slam business on a public forum. so maybey a quiet email/pm

i am looking at the sticky thread about workshops and parts and dealers and just hoping to be able to narrow down the list

ye the last thing id want after buying a brand new Audi is for some1 to hit it then getting it back repaired, id want a new one too if ive forked out that much money.

Mate I know exactly where that is. When I was young and dumb i used to give that corner a little clutch dip every now and then on my way home from work. That was untill the cops and residents figured out what time I did it on certian nights and I got a serious warning. Im sure you wernt doing anything that silly. All the best with the repairs.

Ahhh so that was you... my mate told me about this on Saturday night, he saw the aftermath just after it happened.

You're a De La boy then?

yeah de la boy. there is still some bits of my grill at the scene :'(

thanks for all the tips. im gonna start doing some calling next week.

every time i decide its not worth it to get it fixed i have a look at it outside my house and change my mind

from looking at ur second shot, seams like the reo has been chopped, maybe in japan, if thats the case you'll have a tuff time getting insurance to pay you out. they'll claim that the cut out caused a laxk of structural strength and void ur insurance.

Looks like a standard series 2 reo to me. they are a bit thinner than the series 1's

    • I had a 1981 ALFA with an electronic speedo sender that would work for months at a time, and also noth work for months at a time.
    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
