Heard from JustCar today, $4000 damage. Should be fixed in 2 weeks! Wooohoooo! Not as bad as i thought, suspension, alloys, tyres, panel and one tail light to fix. Happy times.

good to hear, hope they do a good job on it for you. if u see anything your not happy with then tell them and your insurance company and get them to fix it again.

$4k thats lucky, I would imagine losing a car you love because it is deemed a "write off" would be a heart break.

And kudos to you for having comprehensive insurance :P

Whats is your excess? that can be a killer!

Thanks everyone! Excess is $400. Thank God i opted for the "pay extra $35 to get rating one protection". 12 days to go and counting, gonna be a long 12 days.

Depends who you are with, 50% for JustCars

justcars are 50%!? then how did my friend get it repaired (at their cost of $13000) and didn't get it written off. BTW his car is a 98 gtt r34, shoulda been insured for 20-21k as it was bought at that price range. Also, i been told it was 75%

  • 2 weeks later...

JustCars Just told me my car will take another week to repair. I am both angry and depressed. It's been the longest two weeks so far, now they move the goal posts again. I see Skylines everyday and i get more upset because i don't have mine. Is there a Skylines anonymous or some sort of group therapy, i need help.

thanks not too bad tho, a mate of mine had a lady run up his arse about 10 weeks ago and it still has not gone in for repair yet...

NRMA is the insurance company, slowest service ive ever seen... Its an modern aussie car too, so not like the parts are hard to get...

I keep telling him to take his business to suncorp cause like the tv ad says if its drivable 90% are fixed within a week...

drove my skyline for the first time in two weeks yesterday. haven't had time up until then

and holding with my current luck, the one time it has been out in two weeks, a woman in a pulsar merged lanes straight into me....

but, surprisingly (with the kind of luck i have been having), the only visible damage to my car was some slight rubber loss on the front tyre. because my front wheels are too fat for my front guards, they stick out a bit, so they managed to keep her car away from my pannels. she on the other hand, has massive scratches from my tyre/rim all down her passenger side door. looks like somebody tried to wax her car door with steel wool.

was quite happy with the outcome.

i lost a car like that once...my first R33, it had a buggered door and bonnet i got my 23k some one else boght the 'wreck' and fixed it i bought it back for 18.5k woot same car plus a couple k in my pocket.

suncorp had my skyline repaired and back on the road after we got rear ended in 4 days (4 days after we took it to the inspection centre)

we were pretty happy with that

admittedly the damage wasnt too bad, but it was still painted and had a rear bumper and supports underneath that replaced

I got my car back today! Woohooo! Except they didn't paint the front bar, coz it was not on the list for repair! Fu@# me, i said, surely you'd notice a big grey scrape 30cm wide and 50cm long where white paint used to be? Nevermind, she drives like a dream and i am happy again. Will get bar painted in the future, don't wanna give them my car for a while again.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
