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.

hangon..... didnt you loose your 33 to an acco? (consequently i saw it like 3 months later repaired after it was written off)

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.

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
