I think I might get full comp now ha!

I called the boss again and apparently all the info has been passed onto their broker to then be passed onto the insurer. Luckily my father's in the automotive game and knows many crash repairers so one of his contacts is going to sort everything out with the insurance.

It's going to Plaza Crash which my dad says are very good, so the repair won't be crap :thumbsup:

Thats good news that you have been able to have your car sent to a trusted repairer.

I've seen some dodgy work done on my mates cars after accidents, where insurance company is involved in choosing the repairers.

He was prob thinking of Castle Plaza which is in Edwardstown.

Yeah I think dad mentioned them too but apparently Plaza are the guys to see for Skylines. They said the repair will be no problem. They're even going to remove all windows around the rear instead of just masking them so the respray will be perfect.

If the insurance company say I can't use them there will be a fight!

i got rear ended a few weeks ago. i must admit female drivers dont relly pay attention and i am a female stating that.

except i think its more older women my accident was in a 40 km zone and at a school crossing. i got sandwhich when a mother rammed into my car in a 4wd going 60 which then pushed me into the car in front.

and whats makes it worse is she change her story. i nearly got fined for traveling to close when i was at a complete stop! all because she said to the police men that i cut in on her and was traveling like a normal young person...dangerously and hoon like, i was driving my old 94 lancer if she thinks thats a hoons car i wonder wht she thinks of m new skyline

but at least you got insurance for it and the repairs are gonna be decent. it sucks not getting insurance paid out

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
