guys two things I don't have insurance but I saw the guy and got his number plate and make of car and colour as he drove off, what can I do ???

Also any panel beaters out there wanna quote me from a picture? I'll post it up when I get home sau isn't iPhone compatible =(

call the cops and get them to sort it out happend to my cousin some guys hit his car and sped off he got their plates called the cops and they took care of it but if i was you i woudlnt be wasting time on SAU go call the cops and sort it out instead of wasting time here

I did but I have to call Liverpool police now as it happened in that area will be doing that once I get into work but basically the guy at green valley police said they haven't got much power in that area and can only hope the guy confesses - bastard p platers!

By the way you mate have any insurance? Or did the cops actually get them to pay up?

well it wasnt me it was my cousin but yea they had insurance just thought they could get away with it. if he don't pay up make him pay up :) if it were my car and someone did that i would take my own action if the police did nothing :P

Don't worry I know where he parks everyday there will be a deep keying coming at him if nothing happens possibly Friday on my day off (and while this is not the right thing to do I believe it is in this situation because he didn't mind putting a dent in mine and running away)

Tell the police you want to take him to court, that this hit and run stuff is wrong. If you reported it right away they should go to his house and check on the driver and take a statement for the visible damage on his car.

If its under $500 damage, I suspect the police might not want to know about it. A dent would have to be over $500 though wouldn't it?

Is there some of his paint on your car?

Penrith Police followed up a parking 'hit' for me by just asking the owner of the car to come to the Stn. after inspecting his car colour and some of his paint on my bodywork!

He 'fessed up and ended up paying for my damage.

Hope you can come out with the same result!

Tez

PS had the same result many years ago, after a friend 'witness' went to bat for me

similar thing happened to me when i was across the road

i saw him reverse into my car

and he drove off

got his plates

but stupid thing was he did a uturn down the road and parked behind the car i was int ( i was sitting in my gf car at her uni when i parked across the street)

lols

i got his details and took pics of his towbar with my cars paint on it

and got him to give details

what u were saying about what they do is what they deserve kinda thing

well i thought that 2

because i was gonna get my frontbar reribreglassed and sprayed anyway

but because he hit it

and decided to run...if i wasnt there i wouldn't have known about it

i got him to pay for the entire front bar repair

my gf said only make him pay half or something

and i said if he left a note or sumthin...i woulda done that...but he decided to try and run away so got him to pay the full amount

Same thing happened to me about 18 years ago, so things have probably changed, but I went to the local court house who were fantastic, and got the money in the end (no cost to me).

So try talking to the local court house they may be able to help.

.

done the report, the guy said it could take up to 6 months as they get 6 months to investigate it..... WTF it takes em 3 mins to defect us but 6 months for a real crime I guess revenue raising is more important, but I'm glad to hear that some guys have won the battle with punks like this, how can I find where this guy lives?

if you have no insurance you will first send him a letter of demand. get at least 1 quote, but realistically get 2 or 3. attach them to your letter of demand stating that he is at fault and you want him to pay a reasonable cost of repair. if he ignores it (which he will). then you need to go to the small claims court. hopefully the court will find in your favour (they may not, that's a risk you run) and then they will direct him to pay you. but even then he may just ignore the courts directions and still not pay. considering the fact that he hit your car and drove off, I'm going to take a guess that he is not big on obeying the law, so if you do get that court win you may still not get a single cent.

If it's only a couple hundred damage I'd just let it go. you've reported it, hopefully the police will follow it up, and at least give him a fine or something,

Beer Baren is exactly right, except when it happened to me the guy ignored every piece of correspondance from both myself and the court, and didn't even bother turning up to court.

Because he didn't turn up, the sherrif went round to his house and seized his PC and printer.

Once this occured he paid in full plus court costs.

if it was only you that saw him do it that might not be enough. its your word against his, and a court will rule in favour of his story (assuming that the p plater will flat out deny anything ever happened)

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
