Going by website they only go up to 9.5 like I have with the advans now though? 9.5 is preferable for me if only bc I can use the rubber I already have again. Unless u know where to get dirt cheap tyres too? Lol I might give him a call

cas, has vicroads given you a cheque yet? you're gettin all mohsen on us now. horse before cart n all that. give em a quote for the replacement of the wheel that was damaged only, and IF they pay you (which I doubt) then start looking for wheels. No point getting yourself pointlessly into more debt.

reason I ask shan is because I've looked everywhere to quote a replacement and can't find an 18" in any width for the life of me ergo I need new wheels as a necessity no matter who pays for them. I'm trying to get all the info I can get prior to speaking to vicroads so they can't catch me unawares and pull dodgy shit on me. Being informed is not being mohsen. I thought ud argue it's quite the opposite :P

lol jk mohsen

yeah but you have a better chance of a payout if you gave them a quote for one hypothetical wheel replacement rather than a higher quote for a full set of replacement wheels. I don't think Vicroads will care if you can get them or not.

Having dealt with insurance companies when putting together quotes for the workshop, it's not wise to overquote as they might go into full out deny deny deny mode.

Just sayin.

Trust me i wish i could quote them less than I'm having to do at this stage. Even if they have to only pay for one of the four I'm going to have to buy I'm at wits end here- how can I quote a price on a wheel I can't buy because nobody makes or has them anymore? I can't. But if I want any kind of assistance I need to be able to bring some figures to the table per se. For the record import monster just quoted me 1850 for four cr kais new. not bad comparitively with other wheels. I've emailed streeter this morning. Import monster also have said pretty much no effing way am I gonna find an advan anytime soon.

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
