well the story is this! on sunday around 6pm i was on regency rd heading home and i was at a red light. i stopped for the red light and a few seconds later i felt a bang. looked in the mirror and saw a rusted old gold magna that went up my ass! i then pulled over and he did to. we talked about the damage and even though it wasn't major it would still cost a few dollars to repair. i then started to ask for his details and he kept on changing the subject, and then he started to get a little heated and so did i! but the thing was i wanted to get my car fixed so i didn't do anything but tried to get his details. his friend then saw things were getting a little heated so he jumped in and started talking to me! he said he knows someone who works in a body workshop and blah blah blah so i gave him my number and they got back in their car. i didn't pursue it any further because i felt there was something fishy going on and i wouldn't be able to get any information from them without sorting to violence!so i just wrote down his number plate and went to the police! i filed a statement and report and they told me i should get a call tomorrow! well today the call never came so i went out there asking for a contact number or something from the police station but they can't hand out other peoples details!

so right now i don't know what to do! i doubt the cops are going to be doing anything and i should've decked those guys!

i don't know if i should just cop it and pay for the repairs myself!

any suggestions?

Are you insured? If so just give the insurance company the number plate details and they will do the rest and get on with your claim. They are pros at screwing people for money >_< Also get a copy of your report to the police as it will be required by the insurance company.

Contact your insurance company, give them the police report number and they will then handle it from there; you'll get your car fixed.

If you have no insurance you can file a small claims and use the police report number to take them to court.

You still won't find out where they live etc but they will receive a court summons. And 'eventually' most likely in $5 instalments if they are some dero/bum living out north or south you will get your $$ back. >_<

I've never had to do it but that's how I have been told it works.

Depending on the cost of repairs sometimes your better off having the insurance company fix it.

I'm unsure if you will loose a rating if your not at fault if the car turns out to be not registered i.e some one buys a car and doesn't transfer the rego.

Fingers crossed all you have to pay is the excess. Thats if your not with Justcars as justcars excess is sky high. :S

the cops will get around to it. if the car was stolen their your probably pretty much forked. just sweat it out, wait a few days then go back to the police with your copy of the report to prove you already have made one.

well unfortunetly i don't have insurance! i have a pretty bad rating because i thought i was hero in my first car and drove it off the cliff at mt lofty! and plus with insurance the excess would be far greater than the cost of repairs! since i'm under 25 and all

but i was thinking about taking them to court like what cubes is saying! but i just need to find out what the proccess i'll have to go through to get a court summons!

you shouldnt pay any excess or lose any rating if its not your fault! the only reason you pay excess is if the insurance co cant reclaim its costs, ie: you are at fault, or the at fault cant be found. seeing as you got the rego, your insurance co should pay out the claim, and then chase it up later. its not your fault the other guys are wanks.

im with just car, and ive read the policy in depth. as with most insurance companies im sure they will be eager to reclaim their money, so unleash them!

Well if you can't afford the insurance yet still drive a nice car, you probably are too dumb to drive a car in the first place.

Seriously cars are a depreciating assest yet people have fancy skylines which are going down in value everyday yet don't insure them

if you cant afford the insurence you cant afford the car, sadley insurence prices for imports are very high, even an auto ca18de silvia can reach into the thousands :P

if the cops dont do anything about it take it to small claims court with the plates and let the court deal with it if the damage its bad

cheers mate!

but to the thing about insurance! aaaahhhhhhhhhh never said i couldn't afford it but it was just mainly i couldn't get it! just a fraction of the every weeks pay wouldn't have hurt! since i was the only owner of the car and i haven't had it for long! i was planning on making my old man a joint owner so he could apply for the insurance and i would just be the other driver! the only thing that has been delaying me to do it is because he is really busy right now with his court cases with his employer!

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
