**** it man.

These people are obviously pricks. And **** your insurance company too. In the past my insurance company has recorded my not at fault accidents and it's backfired on me. Best to not report it at all.

Time to get nasty. Talk to your lawyer. Sue these bumholes for full cost + inconvenience. I get upset by their intention to make it 50/50 when it clearly was not your fault. It is obvious that the impact speed was something high too! (40+)

if im not mistaken, servo's have videocams actively filming the pumps incase you do not run away frm paying the bill...=).

in dat event, they should actually have a record your car there and it being smashed in by that *uc*.

nevertheless, consult insurance specialist lawyers, they will work for no fee...not directly of course.

no fee meaning if they see you have a strong case, n yr insurance doesnt wanna pay, they will take on your case for no fee...if they win, they get 30% of damages or something and if they dont win, nthin...

i guess its better than havin to pay for e repairs 50/50. if ure gonna haf to pay might as well go all arms lenght out to get yr money back...

n ud think we paid the premium for a reason...dang..;P

All is good, my Insurance Co has waived all excess etc, and the car is being fixed atm.

Cams at the servo were not filming at the time of the impact, BUT I have the consloe operator as a witness and another independent witness so my insurance co had no way accuse me of any portion of fault!

I should be back on the road on Friday, just in time for a dyno day in Brisbane!!! But knowing my luck, it will be another week...

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!

      Living With An R33 Gtst

      End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall

      A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
