Sorry to hear about that.

Skylines are in the wars lately :P

+1, I reckon, this just happened today, when I came back to my car from uni, I found a lancer up on my car's arse. Apparently the driver forgot to put her handbrake on, when she parked & this caused the car to slide downwards from the slop & right into my car's arse.

wtf.

Any damage? i would of kicked the shit out of the lancer... literally.

^^^

Some faint marks on the bumper, think my metal exhaust cannon absorbed most of the impact. Made a big dent in the lancer.

I waited for the driver to come back, & the 2 girls where saying a bunch of sorrys, except they didn't want to pay anything...

Long story short, mainly cause, I had some stretch marks on the side of the bumper near (but not on it) where their car hit mine, saying that the damage there is much more significant than the one they caused.

& when I said I don't want them to pay for the repair of my other marks thats on the side, just the portion to fix this bit up.Then they said, how it would be impossible to find out how much to fix it, since you need to respray the whole bumper, bla bla bla, mainly mentioning how its faint & you can't see it, well maybe you can't see it, but I can.

They also tried to play the "I'm so sorry, I'll willing to help out (except I don't want to pay)... want this to end nice, don't want this to end bad bla bla bla" card.

But sorry sister! That card don't work on me, the only thing that settles conflicts in this world in my book is $.

Anyway, In the end, she agreed to come with me to my panel repairer next Wednesday to get quote(s) on the repairs & she will pay the amount to repair those marks.

I'm not expecting her to pay much ($50 at most I reckon) but thats $50 less for me to pay which is always good in my book ;) & considering I only get ~$60 per shift for work, thats alot.

& finally, I'm not gonna act all high & mighty & say "its not the $ but its the principle that matters", it isn't for me, its the $ that matters. & Yes, coz I'm very cheap, (read my signature, comes from the family).

Yes it is true, everything comes in 3's!!!

i hope nothing else happens to my car, this is only the 2nd really bad prang :)

****dont jinx myself*****

So true, think this is my 3rd strike of bad luck since last week.

1- some c*nt baned their door on my car at work, leaving a big white mark.

2- I failed my lab for one of my units... well this was kinda expected since I always do sh*t in them, just this one was sh*t-er than usual.

3- & now this...

EDIT: Took some photos, just uploaded via BT from my phone to the laptop

Yeah, they were mainly talking about how the stratches here are worser than the ones they caused at the back... that doesn't mean you can walk away without paying a cent, not in my book sister.

Finally, apologies to Anahera for hijacking your thread.

Erin, sorry to hear!! Although its not my style, I love this car, it's immaculate. :(. And from my point of veiw, if you hit someone it's your fault!! Even if you run up the back of them, cos your either too close or not paying attension. Hope to see you out cruising again soon!!

George, that's f**ked mate! And the fact she'll only pay to fix that bit is worse. Who cares if they're more scratches on it? She still dented it, she should pay for it. If your car rolled onto hers she'd expect u 2 repair it!! Lucky you got to the car first, what's the bet she'd do a runner?

George,

Have a read thru some legal documents.

Im pretty sure due to that fact she hit ur bumper, regardless of the fact that it already had some stratches, she still has to pay to fix it. As you cant just spray one small spot of ur bumper to fix what she did, u have to spray all of it. Otherwise the colour wont match. The fact in doing so will fix the other stratches is besides the point.

I remember reading some about this in my legal studies, tho im not 100% sure. So have a chat with a few more "legal minded" people.

I dont think of it as being cheap, it was her fault for not putting her handbrake up, so she should pay for it. I would of done the same thing as u did.

Tell me one thing.... was she blonde?

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
