yea the insurance company should take it it to a compound....

i dont think you get to keep it if its written off, you just get the cash..

but they sometimes offer for you to buy it back, then u can pull out eletronics etc and sell them off.... which means u could make more money then it cost you to buy it back...

Bad luck having the car wrote off :P.. at least it wasnt your fault..

Sorry to hear that man :P

When you call the insurance company they will organise for it to be picked up & assessed, as long as you have all the details of the person that hit you it should be fine. And as said hope your alright!

what all the other guys said

hope you have Full Comp!

otherwise claiming off the other dude will be a bitch

not if you bring a baseball bat

the first hit to the knee is just to let him know you're serious, if nothing happens, then go the head shot :P

whether he had full comp or just third party shouldnt matter right... Rucker34 that is??

Since it wasnt his fault, the other person insurance company should pay for it?

I hope the person at fault had insurance :P

hi guys,

yeah im fine thanks neck feels a little stiff will see how it is in the morning.

pretty upset but... like viet boi just said i was planning to start getting some work done on her. Just glad this happened before i went to all the trouble.

I do have full comp which is good but yeah it should all be on him any way. he said he was fully covered but got me sort of worried because its his ex girlfriends insurance or something :P i have all his details anyway. even if he tried to give me false information i would be able to track him down because my girlfriend works in just specs in the shops, and he gets his glasses from them so all his information is on the system.

bloody falcon!! im guessing my car is a total write off he did not get on his skids what so ever. he swerved at the last second and just ploughed strait into the back of me. The back of the car is sort of pushed into the boot. the spare tire took a lot of the force but is still pushed up quite close to the ECU and the back right wing is all crumpled and sticks out about a foot to the side of the car. back right tire wheel is pretty much pinned by the bumper. wish i took some pics.

the insurance company was closed and i could not leve the car on the side of the road because the boot was just flapping around. i called RAC and they put me through to C and S towing who checked my cover and have taken the car to the assessors in bayswater.

i just landed a new job so tomorrow is my last day of labouring which i was in a really good mood about and now it has put a hell dampener on the whole thing.

i am going to have a look int to getting the car back if it is classed as a write off (bloody hope so, i dont want it back after being bodged up) apparently it goes for auction but we will see a bout that!

Im tellin ya its falcons bro... same thing happened to me last year, was just cruising around with the girlfriend, and some focker in a falcon pulls out in front of me = written off 33.... took ages to sort it all out, good thing was it was a write off and i bought it back for 3 grand... sold a few parts the swapped for a dirt bike... only problem with insurance is it takes so damn long, and problem with mine was it was under finance so i had a hard time refinancing... told myself i would never get another expensive car again, was thinking of getting a cefiro or something for around 12 grand... but because they wouldnt finance something that old, well i went with a 34 instead... only to be driving around and have the same thing happen, someone pulled out in front of me again... this time wasnt as bad, cracked headlight and fender bent a little... but just goes to show that aussie cars like to hit jap cars... so i know what ya goin through. Just keep on their asses about it and it should be sorted soon enough!

lol yeah i have been thinking the same sort of thing.

was thinking about getting the car back selling off the parts and with the money i can pay off the lone for the line and my dirt bike.

the insurance money would pay all that off anyway but the parts would give me more money. then i can get my self a well looked after old 4WD ute so i can get my bike out more often. then i will be able to save up and maybe get myself an r34 gtr in a couple of years(im guessing i will have saved up a little bit of money, and they will b a bit cheeper by then). just dont know if i can wate that long for another skyline.

Hey Mate

Sorry to hear about the accident. I suggest if you have full comp to go ahead and make a claim. I used to work as a claims officer at an insurance company and the easiest way for you to get your claim through is to put your claim in and pay the excess. Its a pretty straight forward claim in terms of whos at fault so when you make your claim and everything is sorted you will get your excess payment back to you. The quicker you make a claim the quicker you can have your car assessed. What people generally dont understand is that you cannot force another person to make a claim. If this person doesnt want to make a claim on their insurance he or she doesnt have to, not even the police can force that person, at best he or she might get charged wif some sort of driving offence. Hence why we have insurance so they can sort all that stuff for you, thats why we pay them money for... make them work for their money. Basically your car will get repaired or you get a payout and your insurance company will just bill the other party with a lump sum

hope that helps

cheers Calvin

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
