Yeah never been sure how that goes, but if you're not at fault and it's clear cut, then I can't see you losing (apart from market value probably being lower than what you could sell it for)

If you had insurance they'd fix your car and recoup their costs with the at fault owner/their insurance company

With him at fault, they'll have to pay you something...probably market value as you're not insured and don't have an agreed value..

I have 3rd party insurance.

Person reversed into my guard. Person had full comp RACV

Got quote from Micolour.

Person called saying their insurance wants to know if price to repair is less than insurance claim excess. I said no, proceed with claim.

Dropped car off at Micolour. He did all the calling, assessement etc

Got cheque in mail from RACV, cashed it and handed in to Micolour + extra for front end spray :)

If yours is a write off, no panel beater is going to do the chasing for you, so you would have to do that yourself :(

My friends car was written off. He kept the wreck, paid a valuator to come and value his car (cost him $300). Sent a letter to the person at fault demanding valuation amount + cost of valuators time. He would then pass that onto his insurance i believe.

Don't get how people driving nice cars can have only 3rd party or no insurance.

If you have thrd party and some uninsured driver hits you you're f**ked. Your insurance company won't chase anything for you (because you only have 3rd party)

That's not entirely true, depending on your policy...my old RACV third party policy had a clause where they would chase up an uninsured third party for you. I think the cover only stretched to $5k though...the rest you would have to sue for yourself. But I do agree, any car over 10k value and I'd be insuring it full comp, because shit happens and as seen in the above example, it doesn't even have to be your fault.

shit was f**ked up at work today.

hear this crazy screaming of a small child and a mother, the kind of scream you only hear when some real shit has gone down.

run outside to see what has happened and all the cars in the carpark have stopped and people are chasing this little dog.

i look over to the left and this little girl has just had half her forhead ripped open by a fkn miniature poodle puppy!

blood everywhere!

Fk I'm not comin wasteland no more from pedos to dead people back to pedos to little kids with there head ripped open by dogs shots depressing

+1 rename the thread to - "Vic Pedos, food, dead people, complaining about P plate laws, Shans daily flame, little kid gets head bitten off by a bitch dog depression thread"

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
