Involve In A Car Accident Needs A Few Bits And Pieces


Recommended Posts

Long story short, stupid bitch driving a swift on Lutwyche rd heading outbound on the far right lane couldn't stop in time for the car in-front waiting to turn right, smash her car into the corolla and decided it was cool to hit the gas pedals and turning her steering wheel to the middle lane, side swiping my right rear door, rear quarter, my side skirt, rear arches and wheel in the process, and then bounce off hitting me in the rear.

Right now I'm waiting on the 3 different accessor from different insurance company to quote/access the cars but in the meantime I need to find a few places that could fix/supply HKS Hipermax suspension, Cusco Upper Arms, Cusco camber kits. Any recommendations and/or experience with the said company would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance fellow SAU'ers.

I'm with Just-Car, they told me even-thought I'm not at fault it will still have to be one of there approved repairer to repair the car. I have the option of going to my own repairer but they will no longer give me the agree value of the car and also they will void my life time repair guarantee.

Hey Mikey. Was she insured. If so then wont her insurance company have to approve your repairer?

Thank GOD she had insurance!!! Her insurer(RACQ) does not care which smash repair I go to, as long as "all repairs must deemed necessary". I personally don't know what's that suppose to mean???

Sounds like you're doing far too much dicking around. Call Just Car, give them the woman's details, tell them to contact RACQ and work out between them who is to repair/how it's being repaired. Just make sure you tell them that before any work happens that you have to authorize it.

Stop wasting time on the phone and make them do it.

Maybe I'm doing far too much then I should, but I rather spend a few more hours and dollars to get what is best for my car, then to end up paying a second time to fix the stuff up.

I've given all the details to my insurance company including a police report that goes with it, but at the moment she is denying anything and everything. Her defense is "The car infront of me stop suddenly without reason, therefore I could not stop in time, BUT I try to avoid him by moving into the middle lane which unfortunately hitting both cars in the process.".

Either way thank you all the SAU'er for helping me and giving me assistance in this case.

Mikey what the car in front of her did is not your problem. she needs to sort that out with them. But yeah let your insurance company handle the lot

You don't have to pay if they stuff it up. If Just Cars say it has to be repaired through who they say and don't let you use your repairer, and you're not happy with the work, then it's Just Car's responsibility to get it repaired a second time until it's back in the same condition it was originally in. The only time you'd have to pay more is if the car wound up being in better condition that it originally was. Haven't you ever read your policy?

It doesn't matter how much she denies it. She's at fault pure and simple (failure to leave a safe stopping distance in front of her car, and failing to give way while changing lanes). They have your statement, the other person's statement, and her statement. The insurance company handles it all from here. You don't need to be involved until they tell you where to take your car.

i had to bold it for truth lol

Nice john.

But even if it goes through either insurance companies repairers, arent they guaranteed for life?

Get it done by your insurance company. It's their job to hunt people for cash. =)

Lucky the cops didnt say its your fault because you drive an import. =P

It's only guaranteed for life if it's in the agreed policy from the insurer.

It will be done by his insurance company. Just Car use their repairers, pay the repairers, and RACQ pay Just Car. This is why he needs to stay out of it. The insurance companies handle this stuff every day and don't need people stepping on their dicks and getting in the way.

    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -  
    • Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
    • Hi, Will the R33 GTR rear brake backing plates fit a GTST? I'm struggling to find GTST ones but can find new GTR ones.   Thanks.
    • I also got the same floor mats for a bit of extra bazzaz haha
    • Some more close up pics now that I’m back to working on the car, the loop pile is nice but again haven’t compared it to the other types in person, it’s hard to tell from the pics on the website. View of the hemming on the edges too, it comes in 2 pieces - front and back, honestly very happy with it for anyone on the fence.  Also attached my previous pics from further up as it didn’t let me post them directly before. (Nothing worse than photo bucket pics that aren’t hosted anymore years later)
