Basically, me n my mate both drive skylines, both just recently bought them and we both love them

now lastnite, he came over and parked across my drive way, we decided to go 4 a cruise, so i backed my car out of my garage right into the back right quater of his car... he was parked on the wrong side of the road and across my driveway...

we are both p platers right, and young, my excess in $1800. and i dont exactlly roll in the cash

should i ask him to help me pay 4 my excess if he was illegally parked at the time?

basically it was ur fault

his car was parked and stationary at the time... whether he was park illegally at the time is besides the point.

u probably can get it fix for less then 1800... just go get some quotes.

find out how much it will cost you, i knocked into an old ladies car and paid for mine and hers to get fixed and it was cheaper than bringing the insurance into it. it just depends how bad the damage is i suppose.

you are talking about fixing the damage to his car or just worrying about fixing yours ? u should be fixing his b4 urs you hit it you did the damage you should have been watching where you was going ..

as said above dont tell your insurance just yet and go 2 a few different repairers and get sum quotes on cash jobs fixing it. do u have photos of the damage for people 2 give beter jugement

^^^+1 Absolutely correct!

...anyone reversing is majorly at fault too.

go get some driving lessons faget

Get some English lessons! and keep your comments to yourself.

You have nothing constructive to say!!

Michael, as already stated get some quotes before involving insurance..

if you can work out an agreement between you it may be better off in the long run.

making an insurance claim can increase your premiums for years.

Help get your mates fixed then he can help with yours and all good!!

I guess you both get to learn a lesson here..

A couple months ago my brother did very similar and hit my front guard,

he just gave me what his excess was and I fixed it myself and got better guards. :P

cost him $900 and me $300..

go get some driving lessons faget

If i remember right.. you had a thread on here about failing your licence.. and then another about doing handbrakies... sounds like your the one needin driving lessons... or a VN commodore

when you reverse tyrone things come from behind...

sorry couldn't help it. anyway I think you will be best off not claiming anthing under about $5,000. so if the damage bill to both cars is > or = $5,000 then make the claim. otherwise just pay to fix it.

Bahahhaha @ BB!

Was it a funny angle?

I vote both of you boys pick up your dignity and work through it.

Get quotes, see what parts you can source yourself, see what work you can do yourselfs and.. and shitty as it my be for your mate, go 50/50 in everything. Im sure he will inderstand.

How bad is the damage? Complete pannel change or just a dent?

If you ask for money from your BEST MATE for this you are not really a mate you are dog/snake. (you f**ked up just pay for it)

I bet you didn't really worry about him "illegally parking" in front of your driveway before you hit his car.

If i were you i would go around getting quotes to get your mates car fixed ASAP.

Best Mate pfft seems like you throw that term around very loosely.

yeh honestly, i dont think you can ask your mate to help pay. why didnt you see his car? you cant just assume that no-one will park there and you can just reverse out, you still have to look where your going...

plain and simple buddy but you gotta cough up the cash - if you can source any parts second hand im sure your mate will be there to give you a hand fixing it but your going to have to get it preped and sprayed by a pro.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
