"hi id like to make a claim. i woke up this morning and went out to my car, tried starting it but nothing was working, i popped the bonnet and the engine was gone. must have taken it out last night, bastards"

[Murry33]

ahh yes GTR parts aren't cheap, surely you should be able to get a wrecker to find you heaps cheaper parts though.....?

[Dohmar]

Just spoke with the crash repairer and the insurance company have approved the repairs albeit with second hand parts but I should expect to get the car back for another 3 months. They've already had it for 2 months.

man i cannot believe the shit that happens to you. i do hope that ur run of bad luck stops soon, cause from the way i read it, you've had 4+ years of bad luck... did you abuse cars in your previous life? karma sux like that... :|

if you need help sourcing second hand parts, give me a buzz, i can probably help u find stuff

-D

Ben, help me find the drivers side splash guard

Ben, help me find the drivers side splash guard

u has which model of car nowadays? 33 ja ? Gts or Gtr ? Vspec or non?

splash guard, i assume thats the piece of plastic before the wheels.. thats a pain ;P best just look for someone wrecking a whole car and steal their splash guards heheh

stupid idea number #20577121 ; would it be worth SAU/an affiliated car club ever purchasing wrecks and pillaging the parts for those who need? I dont have time to do it myself. Maybe someone out there who drinks a shitload of coffee and snorts a hell of a lot of wizzfizz can do it?

-D

33 GTR, V-Spec, shouldn't matter V-Spec or non, but yest, that's the plastic guard that lines the wheel arch. Tried wreckers, no luck sadly

[shy_s6]

gtst wont fit? dunno if the wreck has them or not haha

That would have taken hours to do. You'd need to drain fluids etc. Have the tools for the job required straightaway.

Sounds bogus. There would be so much noise.

[RubyRS4]

Sorry, but I've got to ask ...

Why is it that people don't hold the workshops to their quotes? If they quote you, then want more when they're doing the work, it comes out of their pocket. Why do people readily throw cash away without question. I have never allowed any shop to get more out of me above the written quote.

A mate of mine took his v-twin sports bike to a Murray Bridge workshop for some minor mods, and they blew up his engine! He nags them for months for his bike back fixed, and they finally tell him its ready 3 months on ... with a bill for nearly $5500!!!!! $1K over the quote for the mods and an extra $3K or so for the rebuild on the engine ... which they blew up! And he was going to pay them because they were holding his bike to ransom. I gave my mate some advice and helped him take the matter to the ACCU and Court.

But he was just going to surrender and hand over the cash.

I've even had my cars and bikes serviced at the dealer at a fixed quote. Then when I go pick it up, they throw in extras for dirty filter or some other small item etc. If its not on the written quote and I didn't authorise it (especially if its not required for that particular service interval), I won't pay for it. I even had one shop charge me for a replacement stock air filter on my TLR bike. I hit the roof because they threw out a $130 washable BMC filter. They ended up replacing it with a new BMC filter.

i drive past the house every day, lives several streets down and was a 32 gts-t.....no bullshit. must have been an inside job cause they knew when he wasnt gonna be home till early am time.

the car was sitting in his front lawn stripped as proof

[Murry33]

heslo most decent wreckers should be able to find and import the parts your after, probably will take a few weeks.

[Edge]

RubyRS4. Its because the shops keep finding something else wrong after they start work on the quoted repairs. They then ask if you want it fixed? What are you going to say?

[Import S13]

hey mate, thought id let people know that a group of kids were cought by the cops on lower north east rd dragging bins behind their car and leaving them in the middle of the street.

they were made to clean up the mess and the trash left behind, donno what other sort of punishment they got though.

[Madaz]

hmmmm time to get a solicitor and find out more info. and pin it on these little muppets

[rhys5169]

..............good luck with that

[heslo]

Thanks for the heads up Kye, I'll what avenues, if any, that I can follow up with the cops

Cheers
