Hey guys, I wasnt too sure where to post this so just thought I'd put it in here...

I was driving home tonight from Brissie and this stupid young so n so in front of me thought it would be a good idea to swerve over onto some loose stuff on the side of the road and throw a nice big stone up at me which cracked my windscreen....

I haven't been able to call my insurance company yet (Sunday) and am just wondering if anyone has had to have a screen replaced before? Bit worried it might take ages for them to get one or something.

Thanks guys!!

:laugh:

Thanks for the replies guys! Ive had a couple of quotes for around the $220 mark so not too bad. Still kinda pissed that Just Cars won't cover it like my other insurance company does for my toyota....

:)

$220 doesnt seem too bad at all. i got quoted more on my old VR bommodore. good to know if the same happens to my 34.

jase r34, give suncorp a call surprisingly good price on my skyline $832 a year which includes a free windscreen every year

Really? They quoted me about that much for my '97 corolla when i moved up here about 18 months ago....Mind you I am a rating 1 now instead of 2 :P

I'm not 25 yet either, which I think makes a bit of a difference with Suncorp and others?

But yeah I'm pretty happy with $220 so I'll get it done asap!

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
