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.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
