lol i dont wanna risk doing that ill find a way to fk it up then RACV will probably inspect it and say BS or something i dunno..

have you made sure that your allowed to pick your own repairer? some insurance companies have their own repairers and you have to go through them.

some retard reversed without looking into the side of my r33 and he's with AAMI. I have to take mine to their assessment centre and they will designate one of their own repairers to fix the car...

i was thinking of getting something extra outta it too, like gettin the whole body straightenend and buffed but they know what they are doin lol

pain in the ass man... lotta hassle but the guy was nice... paid the excess the same night...

Yeah i know i just picked up a quote anyway.. More then likely RACV will make me do that, i know theres one Mr. Gross or something right near there who are RACV preferred.. process would be alot smoother if they werent such titeasses and gave me a quick quote on my car without needing a claim number.. probably so they can raise the price i guess wouldve been different story if i went in saying i was the one paying for the repairs..

thats screwed. they're not your insurer, why should you have to do what they say?

yeh i tried arguing with the lady on the phone... but she kept saying 'thats our policy sir'

its only minor damage so i didnt really mind...

any decent panel beating shop can fix it so i let it go

plus this way i dont have to go around gettin quotes hehe

Just rock up, tell whoever answers that its costing "X", shove the quote at them.

Then tell em they have one week to come up with the cash and/or make a claim or you'll be back with a lawyer and a court appearance.

And tell them you'll report it to the cops too... they wont do anything but that sometimes jogs people :)

That'll scare em into action, if it doesnt then lawyer up i guess and send em a letter

your right about the cops not giving a fark, i spoke to them yesterday about making a report about this bitch that hit me in a car park. I had been told by legal aid to make a report. cops just told me to go to court, and they weren't gonna do anything ;)

had a similar issue when a truck hit the camry. he provided all his details but refused to make a claim. so basically we took the car into the panel beater, panel beater fixed the car and then they got their lawyer to issue a letter of demand to the truck driver. this is basically a legal way of saying "pay up cheapskate or i'll see you in court". you shouldn't need to hire a lawyer, your panel beater will be able to take care of it if they do insurance work. also it always helps if you report the crash to the police as soon as it happens.

does this really work!? might save me from going to court and getting my own lawyer! i'll have to speak to my panel guy about this. Would certainly save me a few hassles....

legal aid they are a free firm aint they? can goto them, used to be able to make some cash in pocket long time ago by some one smashing you in the back lol these days you cant lolz

They cant make you get your car repaired at an RACV repairer if its not your insurance policy.

You didnt sign a contract with them. They owe you damages, they need to pay you or your repairer for the damages and you can do whatever you like, wherever you like. If they ask for a comparison quote from an RACV approved place thats fine, if you want to be accommodating go and get one, but you dont have to get it fixed there, thats ridiculous.

If you don't get anywhere on the phone, either hang up and ring back so you speak to someone else, or ask to speak to a manager.

Anyway I got rear ended once but it wasnt much damage.. $300ish.. I was insured with RACV at the time and so was the guy at fault.. an RACV approved repairer did the quote and they told me if I didn't want to get it fixed, I didnt have to. They sent the repairer the cheque and he signed it over to me... SWEET!! - $300

First car - carefactor = zero lol.

Legal aid is only for people who are unemployed or on a low income.. it's income tested blah blah, so yeah fat lot of help there :P

Where did u go and who did u speak to? I want the cash lol :D

i hope when you took it for a quote, you said you wanted the whole rear of the car resprayed, ... painting just one panel isnt good enough, you want them to blend down the side of the car and ... thats a good 1/3 of the car resprayed :D .... then just fork out for the other 2/3 to be sprayed... theres your full respray haha

They said that its up to the insurance assessors when they come have a look.. My local panel beater quote was $852 and took it to Vu at DT Panels yesturday who gave me a quote of $704.. Faxed them today so we'll see how we go :D Ill write down exactly whats being done when i get the quote back my dads got it with him

Anywhoo seem's like it'll all work out :bunny: Except gay i wanted the cash instead of the repair's to put towards my respray!

If your quote was $850 and you just wanted the cash, you should have just said to her - give me $600 cash and we'll call it even.

Done :D

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
