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

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
