i thought the poles are suppose to fall over wouldnt that lessen the impact on the car, as opposed to it staying firm and the car splitting in half?

no chance it would be hundreds of thouasands to replace, id rkn 15k is closer to the mark and even that would be absolute tops

im suprised it even fell over, do you know how deep they put those poles, for her to knock that over it would of had high speed invovled i rekon

I believe this solves the question of how much the replacement will cost, 15k sounds pretty low for replacing a lot of expensive equipment.

the wooden ones are 10k to fix

You got a couple types of pole... like impact ones are most expensive...

The concrete one broke on the location of impact then tipped over, the wooden one just snapped (Dont have a pic of it)...

Ao thats two poles, 10k to 20k each (depending on is contruction type, insulators and etc...)... plus gas switch witch was broken... plus transformer that got broken... plus control box (cos it was a remote control switch)... That can go up to 40/50k... now the underground is gonna be tested and if it got stuffed up, yeah that might make it go out to the 60k or even hit the high 5 figure mark because of boring under the road and all that... Oh yeah, forgot to mention the money also lost by the accident cutting off supply to the area (People off supply and Total time off supply)... Monday I might know some more info...

Are you sure? This is what I found when I googled:

http://www.tac.vic.gov.au/jsp/content/Navi...er.do?areaID=25

It covers medical expenses incurred. No mention of public liability. That's what your insurance is for.

Ah yes, my mistake. I was confusing TAC and CTP on rego and combining them together. Either way I was wrong. REGO CTP insurance only covers personal injury to another person where a legal liability can be established. To cover abything else you need CTP or Comprehensive through an Insurance provider eg AAMI, RACV etc.

This cleasrs it up a little better

CTP=compulsory third party, no such thing in vic, didnt bother checking your link as it is from the ACT and we, and this accident, are in VIC.

I know what CTP is and you are incorrect. We do have it in VIC it's required by law and It's part of your Rego for your car. I put that link because it had the best description of the difference between it and third party insurance from an Insurance company.

Here is a link to the way it works in VIC CLICKY

Here's the short of it:

What is the Transport Accident Charge?

The Transport accident charge is an insurance fee that appears on the 'Registration Renewal Notice' VicRoads sends out. When the Transport accident charge is paid the owner/driver of a Victorian registered vehicle is considered 'insured' by the TAC. This Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance covers owners of Victorian motor vehicles for the injury or death caused by their vehicle to another person.

In order to be indemnified by the TAC in a common law action the owner of the vehicle must ensure the registration fee (which includes the Transport accident charge) has been paid prior to the expiration date each year.

----------------------------------

We also have third part insurance in VIC so I'm not sure what you are talking about when you say we don't have CTP. Here are just some third party providers and the links to the 3rd party info.

Just Cars

RACV

AAMI

Also Spotted a blue 33 GTST in St Albans today with GTR badge on boot lid. Then at about 3ish say another blue 33 coming out of watergardens in Taylors Lakes where Red Rooster is.

It only covers personal injury, read teh bolded bits

Your car insurance covers costs to property damage. Its why your insurance says they cover up to $5million dollars damage.

i thought the poles are suppose to fall over wouldnt that lessen the impact on the car, as opposed to it staying firm and the car splitting in half?

$15k is way too cheap and gets you nothing in the commercial world. Especially being government, they are full of money and people will charge a shit load because they can.

Sounds like she will be sent a bill for $60k :)

NOGTR as i was leaving knox today. fkn nice wheels

just for you :P

BeEnAr - you are still missing the point. It covers injury to a person, not to property.

:D See my above quote from my earlier post. I didn't miss the point at all, in fact I outlined it.

See top quote. I already said this which is why I put the links in my last post to some insurance providers' third party insurance details :)

The point is why do you call it CTP, its TAC, thats what everyone knows it as so why are you just making it more difficult to understand than it is, your top quote is an perfect example, by that your saying that compulsory third party only covers personal injury, but you go on to say that if you want any other cover you need compulsory third party or full comp through an insurance provider, which if course is not compulsory, although it should be.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
