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.

    • Had another look at the car and I noticed the fuel pump isn't priming on ignition. I'd taken out the pump from the boot to siphon out the old fuel, so maybe I've knocked something loose or broken a wire putting things back together. Will go back with a multimeter and try to work out what's stuffed. Kinda hoping it's the pump itself thats gone so I can upgrade it
    • Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.

    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
