This is taking forever! When i asked RACV how long she has to get her car assessed and pay her excess they said about 2 weeks.. Its been about that now i called her up she said she took it in to be assessed but isnt actually getting it fixed until End of June/Early July because she cant be without a car for 3 days.. This shouldnt have anything to do with me. I asked if she fax'ed the assessment through, she said nah.. im waiting on the paperwork to pay the excess.. I told her give them a call tomorrow and tell them u got the assessment and pay the excess over the phone because i need my car fixed asap.

Turning into a pain in the ass now i'll see what she has to say when she calls me back tomorrow.. If i dont like ill call up RACV tuesday and see whats up.

Meanwhile i just paid for my Vertex kit for $800.. Subtract the $704 cheque ill get.. I get a full body kit for $96! Gotta love insurance (when its not your fault!) :down: Oh and ive just gone and paid for 3rd party fire/theft insurance from justcars $663 with excess of $1900 :down: .. Backup plan just incase i accidently smash a mercedes or something

Get insurance... otherwise ask them to settle private.

Ive got insurance now.. Cant tell them to chase the money up now after its already happened when i was uninsured.. so hopefully RACV stop's being so slack and asks her for the money and it all works out.. I think i'll call them tomorrow and say its been 2 weeks wheres my cheque u havent sent any paperwork do your job!

SHould of went with famous insurance, used to be called young and cool, they put market value but, its still cheap im paying full comp, 1430 with exess of like 600 or less not quite sure but way lower than just cars, only going with them for 1 year till i can go with shannons, shannons said that i need to be driveing the car for 1 year :S

Ahhh some great news =]

Called up RACV and told them how she's been and got her car assessed etc.. They said yep shes fulfilled her policy we'll send you the cheque today for $852..

So not only do i get my cheque this week.. They've mixed something up and are sending me the amount of the more expensive quote instead of the $704 quote!

Got my new replacement Vertex kit today from DMD =]

Anyone have a guide on how to install it? Like everything to take off exactly what to do etc.. Or so it simply fit it up, drill holes where needed and just screw it on? I would have no clue about sideskirts and rear bar.. Been looking for a guide havent been able to find one..

Thanks

The other party is requesting two quotes from me and send it to them. I think they're going to send RACV those quotes. Just not sure if it would work the same way, as in RACV contacts me for the payment instead of the panel beater to negotiate or something.

Ask them to lodge a claim with RACV then give you the claim number. RACV are the ones you send the quotes to. They have to get their own car assessed but thats a different story. The repairs might be cheaper then their excess so maybe thats why their asking for the quotes. Call RACV and give the claim number and say you got 2 quotes where do i fax it to and they'll tell u.. Then fax it through then ring the next day or something and they'll most probably say they'd send you a cheque for the cheaper quote as soon as their client pays their excess.. Unless its a cheap repair then they might pay for the repairs.

This was the situation with me so im not sure if its always the same but if it is then this is the way to go to get paid as fast as possible.

Good luck with everything man..

thanks for the explanation.. I will send them a copy of the quotes so they can decide to lodge a claim and keep a copy for myself then.. so I can send it to RACV later. Cause at the moment, they refuse to lodge a claim without seeing the quotes even after I told them how much the quote was. It's good that yours worked out.. so hopefully it will for me too. :)

I was rear ended a few months ago and the guy was also very un co operative

My quote was $4600.. the guy wasn't avoiding me, he just was very slow on making the insurance claim to his company,

I know how its very frustrating.

At least its a win win. $100 to your next mod.

    • 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.
